Upland Kiwi Lambic

Brewed by Upland Brewing Company
Style: Lambic - Fruit
Bloomington, Indiana USA

Bottled. An amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma has notes of acetone, acid, and fruits. The flavor is sweet and acidic with notes of fruits, acetone, lacto, and some wood, leading to a tart acidic finish. Not as crazy as I’d thought, bu tnice. Huge thanks to fonefan for sharing this.

Bottle 75 cl. Courtesy of fonefan. Clear golden with no head. Lots of acetone and fruit. A little thin-bodied, low in carbonation. Tart acetic acid with a faint kiwi note. Fresh but not all that powerful.
Second pour: cloudy opaque golden with some floaties and absolutely no head. The acetone is a little heavier but otherwise the beer doesn’t change all that much. Still a discreet - if rather tart - Fruit Lambic. 211009

Bottle. Good sweet aroma, a bit fruity with some mild leather, a bit of oak smell. Viney grape notes as well. Hazy orange colour. Almost no head. The flavour starts off citric with a little vanilla. The initial sourness is mild, but when it is swallowed, it gets a bit rougher.

[Thanks a million Jan!] Clear golden with a tiny white short lasting head. Sour aroma with brett, lacto, barnyard, wood and kiwi hints. Flavour was sour and somewhat sweet and the kiwi’s gave it a sweet edge though the barnyard, brett, lacto and wood kicked in as expected towards the end. Finished nicely sour. Nice balance and the kiwi gave it a nice fruityness. Lovely.

Bottle at chris_o’s "smash kook’s granny tasting". Alround rating: Initiallty fairly acidic but by the end seems almost sweet, fruity kiwi makes it a bit one dimentional, bit of diactyl makes me think this needs more time in the barrel before blending, a bit farty as it goes on. I dont recognise this as a lambic in anyway shape or form.

(750ml bottle) Pours a clear golden body with no head. Aroma of horse blanket, pear, florals, and wood. Flavor of brett, lime, earth, wood, and very subtle kiwi.

Bottle sample at Crown #19. Poured a cloudy yellow color with an average frothy off-white head that mostly diminished with fair lacing. Moderate to heavy tart citrus, herbs and yeasty aroma. Medium body with a sticky texture. Medium to heavy fruity sour flavor with a medium to heavy bittersweet finish of moderate to long duration. This is a standout lambic.
