Sparkling and bright this is a Wisconsin original created for you in the traditional method employed by the Lambic Brewers of Belgium including five months of outdoor resting in oak barrels. Indigenous yeast and cranberries from the “wilds” of Wisconsin flawlessly pair to dance on your palette. You have discovered a rare and delightful treasure to be served cold in a fluted glass.

Bottle at share. Mauve pour with small bubbly head. Cranberry aroma, dry, tart. Taste is also cranberries, pretty simple formula, the normal tartness and dryness that cranberries have to offer.

Bottle care of Jimmy. Thanks man! Pours a clear pinkish red with a finger of pink white foam that lingers. Lovely tart cranberry aromas with some earthy, funky cobweb aromas. More of the same on the palate, fermented cranberry and earth with some horseblanket flavors. A touch sweet, but enjoyable.

Just nuts. Is it perfect? Might be my favorite from them. Gloriously sour.

Bottle from Hoppymeal, thanks! Cranberries in the aroma. Sour flavor with red berries, cranberries and lemon. Soft bitter notes from the cranberries. Longish sharp citrus aftertaste. Hints of oak and vanilla. Quite likeable.

This beer pours a slightly cloudy dark red color with a medium fizzy off-white head that burns away steadily to an outer ring. Short strings of lacing. Tart berry, yeast and malt in the nose. Medium body with flavors of tart cranberry, slightly funky yeast, oak and doughy malt. The finish is tart with a cranberry aftertaste. Pretty good beer all around.

(Thanks, Drake! "Drake") Bottle. A- Cranberry, funk. A- Dark pink color, hazy liquid, minimal head. T- Cranberry, acidic, tart. P- Light body, average texture, slightly effervescent carbonation, tart finish. O- Vintage 2018 and drank fresh. Sorta wish I would've sat on this and seen if it ages like a true lambic can. Pretty tasty. More sour as it warms. A bit of funk definitely balances out the sweetness.
