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

Bottled. A murky orange-brown beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of fruit, as well as medium notes of malt, as well as light acidic notes of berries. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, berries, and acetone, leading to a tart finish. Thanks KimJohansen for sharing.

Bottle 75 cl. Courtesy of KimJohansen. Pours a cloudy and opaque red with a small off-white head. Tart and fruity nose. Medium body, a little low in carbonation, indefinable berry accents with a fairly tart finish and some acetone. 120609

Bottled, thanks xmarcnolanx! Cloudy reddish amber, siry head. Heavily citric aroma where the blackberries lay in the background. Freshly citric with some sweet buttery malt. Lightly spritzy with marked acidity. Does not really achieve the complexity of the originals, but on it’s own it’s a darn fine beer!

Bottled. Amber colour, medium beige head. Aroma is blackberry, some wood, quite tart, but not the dry tartness. Flavour is quite burning tart blackberry, wooden, and some rather yeasty notes. A bit sweetish tart. Really pleasant.
