Bottle shared with toncatcher, fordest, and Jason. Poured a reddish brown with no head. Aromas of cherries, malt, and funk. Sour, tart cherries in the flavor but not overly sour. Very nice.

Bottle shared by psprings at hellbilly’s hellraiser 3.0 tasting. Pours a murky reddish amber with a small head. The nose is sour cherries, oak, light malt and a touch of funk. The taste is tart cherries, wood, earth funky yeast and a slight metallic finish. Medium dry body. This may be my favorite of the Upland Lambics I’ve had so far. Thanks Paul!

Thanks to the Indy crew for popping this at the sexual chocolate gathering. Light pink pour with a thin tan head. Leather and cherry on the nose. Slightly acidic. Cherry ludens, oak, and funkiness. Re-rate 3/18/07 Carbonation has really seemed to pick up in this upland most i’ve seen so far

Beautiful red-orange color with the slightest hint of pink. The smell is on point, subtle zoo/barnyard/animal funk (not horseblanket), gives an authentic feel to the beer. The taste has a cherry element and very subtle funk notes, just a little tartness but never really becomes puckering or what I would consider sour. This was a nice kriek and the funky smell was the best aspect. Serving type: bottle Reviewed on: 12-15-2008 03:39:18

I opened this one first since of the three I have it was the most enticing. Peach and Blackberry might be different but unless you can get a Cherry lambic right the rest will not be good either. I greatly enjoyed it and now look forward to the rest soon.

Aroma / Appearance - A carbonated light peach colored fluid swirled around the tulip glass. A short lived white head soon faded away leaving behind a strong tart smell of oak and cherry pits. It reminds of New Glarus Belgian Red with a tart and intense punch.

Flavor / Palate - Dry and sour it provides the expected cherry kick in a fresh way. The tartness rests on the throat slowly sucking away all moisture. The burst of sourness is not unlike a small handful of the sugar attached to sour patch kids. On par with most Cantillon offerings I can only imagine this 2008 release will get better with time.

(11/3/08) Bottle sample at a tasting in Pizza Port in Carlsbad (thanks wetherel). Pink-orange color with a pinkish head. Aroma of barnyard, cherries, some yeast and earth. Sour flavor with cherries, brett, some lemony hints and some sweetness. Medium-bodied with lively carbonation.
