Bottle, vintage 2014 thanks to Clownniseur! Pours clear reddish golden, small white pink head, dissipates to a ring with some lacing. Aroma is cherry, oak, basement, stems, lemon, light vinous notes. Flavor is light plus tart and funky, cherries and oak plus Brett, hints of sweat socks. Medium body, low carbonation. Good.

750mL bottle, pours a cloudy orange with a tiny white head. Aroma brings out lots of stone fruits, cherry notes and light funk. Flavour is quite funky, with stone fruits, cherries, medium acidity and light funk on the finish. Nicely balanced, with higher acidity the usual for an authentic lambic.

750 ml bottle #59/120, shared by Cuso. Thanks!
Dark orange, hazy body, with a small, white head.
Aroma is sour, tart, with funk, sour cherry, red wine.
Taste follows this, also some sweet cherry and other sour fruits, like apples, some wood.
Medium oily mouthfeel, with a lively carbonation.
Finishes sour, tart, funky, dry.

Really tasty! Big, complex and sour/tart, while still with a quite smooth balance. Not the best beer of this style I’ve had, but a great one and a glad opportunity to try this!

Bottle by Cuso. Aroma bretty, funky, light fruity, very light cherry. Hazy reddish colour, pretty nice. Taste is surprisingly soft up front. Sour, brett, fruity, only traces of cherry. Good one and rather easily drinkable. I like it.
