Bottle. Pours with a crystal clear full golden hue with massive carbonation that settles down to a white ring. Aromas are of medium strong bretty funk, dry tannins, acidic, lightly tart apples, straw, damp flowers and a bit of mineral earthiness. Flavors show good acid balance, medium strong tannin, bone dry with a large carbonic hit. Medium floral character and zesty bright fruit. Pleasant funk that is quite a bit more subdued than it was on the nose. Very lively, bone dry, medium-light body with well hidden alcohol. Easy and pleasant to drink with satisfying complexity.

Barnyardy, light pear like aroma. Hazy pale yellow. Quite dry body, sparkly. Dry apple skin, hay finish.

Draught (7,2%) @ Brouwer’s Cafe, Seattle
Aroma has lots of somewhat tart apples with leathery and earthy notes. Flaovur is really dry and somewhat tart with apples and leathery notes. Good, although I expected more aggressive stuff based on the word ’lambic’.

Deep gold colour. Fresh bright appley nose. Tart, a little flat. Fresh and crisp apples - very straightforward. Scores points for being deep and authentic but I’m not sure it translates into an enjoyable cider to drink.
