Mar 3, 2009 75cl bottle courtesy of YGTBSM, thanks Brad! Purple with no head. Light sour aroma with light cheesy funk and some berry. Lightly sour flavor with moderate blueberry, finishing light and a bit empty. Almost flat, with a thin body. I get that these aren’t traditional, but the lack of carbonation made this my least favorite of the three we tried

Feb 24, 2009 Bottle sampled at Hellbilly’s Hellraiser 3.0 thanks to Josh...you ROCK!!! Raspberry colored pour with no head and not a single defiant bubble clinging to the inside of the glass. Not a ton of identifiable fruit in this one...tastes and smells of strait lambic. Sour and funky, but definitely short of the hype. A little carbonation would have lit up the taste buds a bit; this was a bit flat and boring. Still very happy to have tried this.

Feb 23, 2009 750ml bottle thanks to tjthresh. Interesting purple-pink color and a smell nothing close to blueberries. It is close to funky fruit lambic though and the aroma is one of the qualities most of these uplands get right. Flat mouthfeel, fruit juice flavors, too juicy not enough sour or blue berry or funky enough but the aroma is cool and misleading.

Jan 31, 2009 Corked and capped bottle picked up at Pat’s Liquors in Porter, IN: No surprize that I wasn’t really thrilled with this Lambic-style brew since I really, really dislike blueberries in any form. It’s got a hazy reddish body with some bubbles in lieu of a head. The light Brett funkiness helped to make the aroma tolerable, even a bit pleasant. The flavor does have some berry-ness to it, but a citric tartness and a touch of funk make it pretty tasty. Still, my least favorite of Upland’s brews in this style.
