Commercial Description:
In the spring of 2006, I brewed 300 gallons of top-fermented beer using wild yeast to create a Belgian-style Lambic. We conditioned the beer in oak casks and then initiated a secondary fermentation in the casks using whole fruit from Huber’s Orchard in Starlight, Indiana. You should experience a tart, almost sour taste balanced by the aromatic and richly flavorful addition of whole blackberries - perfect to share with friends, and a platter of good cheese and fresh fruit. - Caleb Staton, Head Brewer

Pours a red brown. Nose is sweet fresh blackberries, mild tartness, apple skins and red wine vinegar. Flavor is a watery tartness, sweet fresh picked berries. Very drinkable and enjoyable sour. All around needs some age or complexity. Looking forward to future batches.

has a sour kick that is strengthened by the blackberries, strong vinegar hints, and more bitter than sweet. Hardly any noticable sugar sweetness. Bottle from Ryan Blanksi’s Sourfest- Hollywood, Florida.

750ml bottle at a tasting. Nose is quite barnyard and funky. Some berries and nicely sour. Taste is very fruity berries a bit vinous. Hard to find a distinctive blackberry taste there. Good brew still.

Bottle at Chriso pre-GBBF tasting 09. Cloudy pink red and gold colour. Fruity, bit of hedgerow. Too acidic. Not much blackberry, but yes hedgerow fruit. OK fruit but just too much malt vinegar. 2.6 Re-rate Bottle at LCRBM 5 at Kulminator. Sour aroma. Its decent fruit. Bit of vinegar. OK.

[9/5/08] Bottle sample during LCRBM at Kulminator in Antwerp. Murky reddish-brown. Wonderful aroma of berries, barnyard and some citric notes. Sour flavor with blackberries, earth, oak and some other fruits. Medium-bodied. Great.
