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 strawberries - perfect to share with friends, and a platter of good cheese and fresh fruit. - Caleb Staton, Head Brewer

Bottled. An unclear golden beer with a thin off-white head. The aroma is very acidic with notes of brettanomyces, wood, lacto, and lemon, as well as lighter notes of wood. The flavor is acidic with a light sweet touch and notes of wood, brettanomyces, lacto, peaches, and mango, leading to a tart finish.

Bottle 75 cl. Courtesy of KimJohansen. Hazy and opaque golden with a greasy off-white head. Tart, fruity aroma. Light body with a flat carbonation, fresh but hard to define fruit accents, plenty of acetone and acid. Delicious nonetheless. 120609

From bottle, blind #14. Pours hazy orange with a small and collapsed white head. Dry wooden, brett and peachy hoppy aroma. Citric to light acidic and milky base flavoured yet also with a nice level of remaining sweetness. Smooth acidity and crisp hoppy flavoured finish.

Very cloudy. Smells like it’s going to be sour with hints of strawberry, some brett and lots of pedio. Sweet/tart with creamy yoghurty character. Refreshing, although the yeast and mud detracts from the presentation.

Blind tasting at Papsø’s
Muddy orange color. Extreme aroma, sour, fruity, pungent, like a real Lambic; some cobwebs, nuts, and malt; very nice. It has a medium mouthfeel, with lemony sourness, and (this is original) creamy flavor (maybe due to the yeast), light nut touch. The final is quite puckery. Too bad I got soo much deposit in my glass, this is a real interesting beer.
