Jan 24, 2009 Thanks to Mike for this one as well! Poured hazy reddish-amber with roughly zero head sticking around. The aroma picked up sour raspberry seeds and sweeter meat with some paler maltage backing.. strong and fruity.. sourness was complementary, but not near the levels you get from more traditional lambics. The flavor was tangy and engaging throughout with lots of raspberries and vinegary notes.. spicy, oaky, and warm with more fruitage carrying through the finish. Medium-bodied and very well balanced on the palate.. enjoyable brew overall.

Jan 24, 2009 Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Pours an odd color that is orange red and pink and has a small off white ring as a head. Almost no lacing. Nose is raspberries and powdered sugar, with minimal funk and wild characteristics. Nice and sweet. Taste is sour, sweet and juice like yet tangy and firm. Mouthfeel is moderately tart and puckering but smooth. Just over all good and something I would want to drink regularly.

Jan 23, 2009 Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Pours with a small, off-white head and a hazed golden body with good lacing. Aroma is funky with barnyard and sweet raspberry. Taste is raspberry and only lightly sour with hints of oak and some good funk. A bit earthy. Light, fizzy and dry. Not quite as puckering as some of the Belgium Lambics I have had recently, but a very good beer coming out of Indiana. Anyone from the IU area want to trade for some others?

Jan 19, 2009 Bottle from Wise Guys in Merrillville, IN. This is the fruit-beeriest of the Upland Lambic-style ales that I’ve had. It pours a golden pink body with some floaties and some large bubbles (in lieu of a head) that vanish rapidly. Not even a film is left. It has an aroma of fresh raspberries, lightly tart, with a touch of fuzzy funk. It has the flavor of fresh raspberries, a wheaty tartness, some wet hay, and a bit of funk. I applaud efforts like this, and enjoyed the beer, but we’re starting to see a new "Lambic-style" brew appearing in the U.S. that obviously isn’t a Lambic but strives to emulate the style. A new category, mayhaps? One could simply change them all to Fruit Beers, but what happens when we see the first Gueuze-style ale from an American brewer?
