The beer's color is a deep, deep red. It's powerful and very fruit-forward, but still maintains a nice, mellow balance between acidity and astringency.
We didn't have to look very far for a its new name... a blue fruit that makes a blood-red beer: Sang Bleu. Our friend Ammo has outdone himself once again, creating a superb new label to go with its new name.
Maceration of 2-year old lambic with blue honeysuckle.

Pours ruby with good pink head. I'm not sure what haskap berries are but some raspberry ish vibes. Light bretta. Some grapefruit. Bottle pour at Snally.
Acidic, berries, tart, refreshing. Nice palate cleanser. Really spectacular. Thanks Fishtown Mike!

Bottle pour at Snallygaster 2025. Poured a nice dark ruddy red color with a small, wispy slightly pink head. Aroma was big raspberries. "The haskap berries taste like haskap berries." Flavor was refreshing and nice delicious fruit, nice mellow tartness.

Bottle 2025 edition. Almost clear, dep red body under a small pink head. Aroma is acidic raspberries (I don’t know how honeysuckle berries smell like), hint of cherry, lemon and mild funk. Taste has acidic berries like aroma, raspberry, cherry, lemon with mild funk and hint of wood. Nice balance in flavors and body, not very intense in any direction- should not offend anyone. Nice and easy drinkable fruit lambic.
Similar enough to a red wine lambic this one didn’t stand out too much to me

750 ml corked bottle. Pours hazy red with a one+ finger reddish-white head that slowly fades. Aroma is berries, funk, sex, floral. Taste is highly sour (8/10) with flavors like the aroma.

Mørk rød uklar med lys rosa skum. Lukter blåbær og noe bringebær. Fruktig, noe sur. Smaker blåbær, trevirke og noe eddik.

Dieses mit Blaue Heckenkirschen gebraute Lambik kommt mit einer kräftigen roten Farbe daher. Am Gaumen erinnert diese Fruchtnote an eine Waldbeeren Mischung. Die Säure ist deutlich aber sehr gut balanciert. Diese 2025er Version wirkt noch nicht vollausgereift da es noch sehr frisch ist.

Ruby colour, large creamy brownish ecru-ish, pinkish-rose-like head; aroma of sour cherry, citric acidy, rapberry, seabuckthorn, rhubarb, redcurrant, some earthy, and minimal acetic acidy notes; taste is quite the same; good one
gave a cheers!

0.75l bottle many thanks to Lore. Never heared about honeysuckle yet so I'm not sure how to look for this fruit. Beautiful ruby body with a huge pink head. Aroma and taste of hibiscus, red currant, hibiscus, lemon juice and even some saffron. Not so sour yet refreshing beer. Great one.
