Bottle from Wilmington. Pours orangy/deep brownish ruby and turbid, with nose of tart cherries, oaky earthy lactic yeast notes. Tastes tart, dripping with cherry flavor, earthy lactic notes, and yeasty notes. Stays tart throughout, and the repour gets even denser and thicker. Gets more tart near the end of the bottle, but stays very complex and amazing all the way through. Another truly delicious lambic from these guys.

Bottle shared by PilsnerPeter. Bright light pink beer with no head at all. Aroma is really lovely. Soft lactic tartness initially with a lot of cherry fruitiness and a bit of acetone character. Soft cherry and cherry skin aroma with a lot of bright acidity. The aroma shows a lot of strawberry character as well. Lingering soft fruity acidity on the back with a lactic finish. A bit too much of the acetone character, but it’s still a solid brew.

No head; reddish-orange beer with amber shine; end of bottle fully hazy. Cherries, wood, fusels, in an absolutely SUPERB balance. Very serious acidbite, including acetic; yet some milk/lactic touches and fresh fruit, in old wood. Sharp, acidburn, lipsmacking sourness and speculoos, which is characteristic for whole cherries. Su-perb! Better than the draught Kreik I had some years ago. Big thanks to CK!

bottle from bockyhorsey... orange-ish brown pour with a bunch of yeast nuggets floating around in it. it smells... well, sour... mixed with tart fruit, dust, minerals and some faint wood. i don’t pick up cherry specifically in the flavor though it is packed with a sour fruitiness. it has a bunch of cinnamon-y spice, lactic, mineral/calcium, some funkiness, loads of tannins and a strange saltiness... this is THE most sour damned beer i’ve ever tasted!... not a whole lot of dimension but sour for sure. sharp and super dry with puckering mouth feel. 8/4/8/5/18/4.3
