Brewed by Melbourn Brothers (Samuel Smith)
Style: Lambic - Fruit
Stamford, England

Bottle. Medium head with medium duration. Color is golden red. Aroma and taste is powerfull strawberry.

Bottle. Creamy white excellent fully lasting head. red colour. powerfull strawberry aroma and flavor. Very sweet, long finish. Syruply palate.

Dark amber-red with a large white head. Pleasantly tart aroma. The taste is quite palatable, though it does have a slight jamminess. A little sourness. This is ’lambic’ reinvented for the American and British markets.

Pour looks like a watered down raspbery neastea with a foamy pink head. The aroma is that of tart strawberries. Flavor is like a dry wine cooler. It is light bodied, with a clean but slow finish. refreshing and pleasent.

Pinkish orangey red, with a big pinkish head. Smells like strwberries and biscuits. Mostly fresh strawberry flavor, with some tart lemony notes. Some syrupy flavors, too. Fairly full bodied.

I had forgotten that this was a "lambic" before I poured so when I got a whiff of the nose I cracked that little "oh yeah" grin. The aroma is somewhat lambic in nature with clear strawberries present, but there is a very slight vinegary funk in the nose. Appearance is light red/orange in color, sort of like a light tea. Mouthfeel is nice, although not nearly on par with some of the better lambics floating about these days. It’s STILL has a nice feel in there with a bit of a puckering swish to it. Flavors are slightly sour, like biting into an underripe strawberry (in the beer world, thats a good thing) but still hangs on to that acidic angle. Finish is clean. Overall, quite an excellent beer and one that I find could be consumed in large amounts during one evening. I will be looking for this one again.

I dont know so much about this being a lambin but it is one fantastic fruit beer. This beer pours a clear reddish color with a think whitish head which leaves a small amount of lacing on the glass. The aroma is overwhelming strawberries and tartness galore. Overall flavor is tart, well-rounded and nicely developing. Slight sticky aftertaste with filmy almost Coca-Cola like residue. Reminds me of carbonation apple soda back in the day. The carbonation can be a bit rough, but given what it is this is damn tasty. Sweet finish, almost Powerade-ish.

"Lambic", huh? Well, after months of the girlfriend agitating for me to buy this on one or another beer store trip, I finally had to cave and use some beer budget on this to appease the missus. The reult? It smells like a strawberry cooler, it’s reddish amber with a head coating. It tastes like strawberry concentrate slush with a light cooler-y beer aspect. creamy sicklysweet palate and a tiny bit tart. It’s about what I expected. Something you can drink but shouldn’t. I think it made my girlfriend happy though which is always good for something.
