A one-off brew with a variety of malts to get to a higher density after boiling. Candied sugar was also added during the brewing process. Except for the low wheat percentage, the process of this beer followed the traditional lambic tradition.

750ml bottle shared with me by Fred82, thank you!
Now this is tart and funky! Big barnyard aroma with some subtle citrus. The sugar is definitely there, and its a welcome cut to the sourness. This is much more sour than i expected, but im really enjoying this. Its basically a high octane lambic gueuze with a tiny bit of sugar to add a touch of sweet and balance.

Bottle drunk with Max and Bob. Medium brown amber, small head, hints of sugar in the clean sour nose. Moderate to high complexity, big lemony acidity, quite dry with slim body. This is a real full on fancy sour bomb!
