Bottle thanks to Craig. Pours a cloudy orange gold with small white head that lasts. The aroma is strong roast coffee, funk, oak. Thin body, nice balance of roast coffee and sour fruit, oak, nice tartness, really enjoyed this.

Bottle thanks to wchesser! Pours slightly hazy golden, medium white head, good lacing. Aroma is coffee, oak, brett. Flavor is light tart, coffee, light citrus, clean brett. Light body. This seemed like it had zero chance of working, but it kind of does, at least for me.

Bottle at BA Belgian Beer Fest, 9/17/16.
Wow, we really are just doin’ it to every style with coffee these days....I love coffee, I love lambic....but I also love coffee and love orange juice...and I certainly don’t want coffee blended orange juice. Obviously this comes off better than coffee/OJ blend, but I’m still a bit skeptical. It pours a drab, brassy-amber, with good clarity and a small, beige head atop.
Coffee very strong initially, as it’s wont to be, though there’s the maltiness of the Oxcart behind it, as well as some of the funk and light acidity from the critters. Really difficult to evaluate and while I don’t think it’s muddled or completely dominated by the coffee, I also don’t think the coffee is adding anything beneficial here. Would rather just have the lambic in its pure, unadulterated glory. That being said, if you look at this as a fruit lambic (the coffee being the pit or seed of the coffee plant fruit), I guess it works ok? This is one time where I think a very highly acidic coffee might complement the lambic better, mimicking the acidity of a cherry or raspberry.
The texture is soft, with good, natural carbonation and a light slickness from both oak and coffee. Fairly well-balanced and a moderate amount of funk and acid get through, with lots of chocolate, bean and light acidity from the coffee. Definitely one that demands a larger sample, though I can say that I appreciate the overall level of coffee here.
