Bottle: Thanks TheEpeeist! Pours a nice pinkish orange with a white ring of head. Great aroma- funky lactic character with a touch of underlying acetone, soft oak and cobweb funk- reminiscent of a Cantillon yeast strain. Slick and mild carbonation. Lightly fruity with some gentle cherry notes mesh with an acetone flavor. Soft sweetness from the cask giving a vanilla note- lots of lactic tartness however making it nice and tart. A bit too acetone-ish and solventy, but still solid.

Sampled at the Ohio group tasting on DLD eve ’09. Took me forever to find it in here because of the spelling. Cloudy pink pour with a medium pink head. Cherry aroma with some vinegar and nail polish. Super sour cherry flavor.

Hazy with amber with a tiny off white head. Extreme sour aroma with acetone, sour berries and woody notes. Flavour had plenty of acetone, sour berries, vinegar, sour cherries and plenty of lacto bacteria.

Bottle shared by bockyhorsey at hellbilly’s holiday tasting. Cloudy amber red pour with a small head. Sour fruity aroma with a bit of funk and yeast. Flavor is much the same, very sour, nice funk and fruit, and a bit of saltiness. Overall a great sour brew. Thanks Bill!

750ml bottle shared by Bockyhorsey at hellbilly’s holiday tasting. Pours cloudy amber with zero head. The nose is barnyard, vinegar and sour fruit. The taste is salty sea water, pickle juice, vinegar and sour fruit skin. Medium mouthfeel. Good, but damn salty! Thanks Bill!

Bottle graciously shared by Bockyhorsey at Hellbillys. Pours a sludgy muddy hazy jamba juice brownish pink with lots of fruit sediment and a pinkish white head. This is the most unfiltered hazy lambic i’ve ever seen. Aroma is cherries, sour and acidic, funk. Flavor is out of this world, sea salt, sour mouth puckering cherries, barnyard, oak. I need to comment on how sour this is, and how the saltiness and sourness work against each other to create a masterpiece. One of the most sour beers, if not the most sour that i’ve ever had. I only wish I could get more.

Bottle 75 cl. Courtesy of Miver. Slightly hazy amber golden with a small, off-white head. Intensely sour, fruity aroma. Medium body, sour fruitiness, lots of horse blanket and acetone. Burning peppery finish. Man, these Iron Hill lambics are serious stuff! 010509
