To celebrate my rating number 11,200 I enter this much sought after top-50 beer. A hazy light golden beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of wood, brettanomyces, lemon, and a light acidity. The flavor is sweet and acidic with strong notes of citrus and brettanomyces, and medium notes of wood and grapefruit, leading to a dry tart finish.

(Bottle 75 cl) Courtesy of yespr. Pours a hazy pale golden with a white head. Fat Brett aroma with notes of sweaty horse blanket. Medium body with lots of Brett, citrus and vinegar accents. Dry and tart finish. Quite refreshing. 100908

Bottle at the launch party, Lost Abbey, San Marcos
Very cloudy beige colour. Shimmers in the glass. Very fresh aroma of foot, lemon, woody and a slight bit of cheesiness. Great sour character, but blended with a sweet finish. Brilliant balance. Foot, funk and lemon, but yet very clean. Near limitless complexity. You would never know this was American - this is serious lambic of the highest order. A masterpiece.

75 cL bottle, trade with WeeHeavySD - thanks Jon. Pours hazy yellow with a lacing white head. Dense citric and barnyard aroma. Acidic and yet smooth. Milky and acidic with a smooth orange fruity base flavour. Dry and acidic, smooth and woody. Tart finish with a lovely dry wooden note. Elegant and smooth yet bone dry.
