Once again, a huge thanks to Vince over at the Port Brewery for hooking me up with a few tasters of this one. I had just finished talking with Justin on the phone about how i wanted to try cable car and proximus when vince offered me a couple samples of each. Needless to say, I was pretty stoked. Anyway, thanks again Vince. Pour was a hazy, murky yellow with pretty active carbonation. A sweet citrusy funk fills your nostrils as it’s poured. Slight floral notes blend in beautifully with light fruit scents. The taste so complex that it took a few sips to really identify what i was tasting. Tart but smooth citrus flavors with a little bit of a bite on the finish. Absolutely amazing. I would kill to get my hands on another bottle of this stuff.

Dec 31, 2008 Bottle courtesy of golubj, who is the man. Color of murky, dull gold. Aroma of funk, fruit, must, wheat, wood and citrus. Nice. Flavor was very similar, with a pronounced funky, barnyard element. A tad vinegar and lemon as well. This was very enjoyable for the style. Nice palate.

Dec 31, 2008 Rating 100. Only took a year and a half. This one is pretty descent. Nice funk character. Would like to have seen more funk though...dont know why but I feel like this one is lacking something...

Dec 27, 2008 750, corked and baled. Thanks, SuzyGreenberg! Wow, what a rare gem to reel in. Cloudy medium amber with virtually no head or lace. Tart balsamic and strawberry nose, maybe a little moss in there as well. Creamy medium body. Vinegar tartness on the mid-palate, but, most shockingly of all, there really is not that much else going on on the mid-palate. We all expected a fair bit more flavor than we got out of this beer. Well-made to be sure, but hardly a triumph.

Dec 24, 2008 Bottle pours an orange amber body with a thin off white head. Plagued by sour vinegar and a light oakiness, and a mouthwatering aroma. One of the first sours i enjoyed. Lemon, cheese, and sour milk. lightly dry with grapes. Interesting. My first taste.

Dec 23, 2008 Hazy orange with medium beige head. Sour aroma with notes of barnyard, orange, vinegar and wood. Sour flavour with notes of wood, barnyard and grapefruit. Sour finish. Misses the pureness that lambic has. Not dry enough.
