MartinT (5030), Montreal, Quebec, Canada Jul 20, 2009 My Bottom Line:
This fruity and mild P-Lambic benefits from a touch of horseblanket and tartness, but its dry finish and overall flavor profile could gain from being more complex.
Further Personal Perceptions:
-There is no head of foam atop the reddish amber.
-The aroma is more interesting than the flavor profile, providing a tad more funkiness.
-With its low carbonation, mild fruit and shy funk, this is very drinkable, but it is also unmemorable and subpar for lovers of the style.
-The fruitiness is not terribly defined, being buried under some earthy yeast and blurry malts.
On tap at the brewpub. jcwattsrugger (5223), Florida and, New Jersey, USA May 19, 2009 on tap-pours a disappearing white head and amber color. Aroma is wood/leather, some fruit, spices, vinegar, earthy. Taste is wood/leather, fruit-cherry, spices, vinegar, earthy. Minimum carbonation. Not my taste but a good, on the mild side, example of the style.
