Bottle from FlacoAlto, thanks! Orange blonde color. Lemon, leather and just a hint of melon in the aroma. Lemony sour flavor with limone and pineapple. Dry out effect. Melon in the aftertaste. Just a hint of oak, but the fruit is dominant. Loved it!

Bottle drunk 10/8/16
Deep, beeswax/honey golden with a large, well-retained, white head. Good clarity.
Tons of funky blue cheese-like character in the nose, with sweat, wet hay and other various barnyard. Nice. Light brett/lacto acidity with light maltiness adding honey-graham cracker. Very deep, dark and ponderous, it is certainly very different from the bright brett character of, say, 3F, but nonetheless gives a remarkably authentic impression of a real lambic.
And so it goes in flavor, lending moderate lactic sourness softened by both malt and plentiful barrel tannin. Cheesey as all hell with tons of barnyard. New oak is apparent, making it more Americanized in that regard, but it’s not overdone. No alcohol or flaw and with a soft, tightly carbonated texture.

750 ml bottle shared at the original Chez Moeder Lambic’s cellar. Hazy orange color with no head. Light malty aroma, yeasty, funky, barnyard, leather notes, citrusy fruity, tart lemon, stone fruits too, peach also, wood, vinous. Sweet and acidic taste, fruity like aroma, stone fruits again. Medium oily body with soft carbonation.

Extreme & manifold thanks to fux!!! The story behind this beers name is hilarious. 750 ml. bottle. Nose is big sour puckering with very bright apricot, lemon zest. Taste is huge lemon peel, zest, puckering, puckering but not vinegar, big sour, low funk with this massive glorious apricot fruit finish, fruit really lingers, some peach. So much better than expected.

The beer is a dull, medium gold. Good luster. A touch hazy. Little to no head, just a few bubbles form on the pour. The aroma is complex and rich, and I love it. Funk and age. Lemons, apricot skin, some lacto. Some vinegar. Solid funk, more lambic-ish than the vast majority of American sours. Taste is fairly tart. A bit more age shows but it’s holding together quite well. Low carbonation. Some pucker. Medium body for a sour.

Poured from a bottle. Aroma has a nice moderate earthy, barnyard funk with some medium light herbal notes. Light oak notes with a bit of stone fruit and medium light citrus. A but more oak as it warms. Pours a slightly hazy, golden orange with a small, white head that recedes quickly to the edges where it lingers for a bit. Light lacing and small legs. Flavor has a medium light oak note with some moderate barnyard, herbal notes. Some moderate lemon and citrus notes. Light stone fruit and faint tropical fruit. Moderate acidity. Acidity is a bit sharp. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a nice beer with a bit of age showing through. Good lemon acidity and a decent barnyard, herbal funk. Still holding up pretty well.

Sample during the "Uber-Kurt (10,000) Celebration" on 12/13/2014. The beer is a clear bright golden color with a medium white head that diminishes steadily to a film. Short strings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of tart fruit, yeast and oak. Medium-bodied with flavors of tart apricots, tangerine, oak and funky yeast. The finish is moderately tart with a vinous oak and subtle vinegar aftertaste. Really good Sour overall.
