Bottle at the Grote Dorst. Deep crimson color, flat. Tart cherry nose, yogurt, leather, blenket. Quite tart flavor though not overwhelmingly sour. Lovely cherry, stones, almond, great nutty flavor, some yogurt. Nice stuff.

12.7 oz corked and caged green bottle. I see no vintage; the price tag on it says it came in to Enoteca in April of 2012, so it’s probably a 2011 vintage, but who knows? Pours cloudy ruby-red with a quickly-collapsing pink-white head; leaves a ring of big-bubbly foam. Aroma consists of cherries, cherry pits/almonds; nice-smelling, although not quite as assertive as the Cantillon I drank before this. Taste is much more sour and acidic than the Cantillon; lots of cherry flavor. Carbonation is almost flat, finishes dry. Overall, I liked the Cantillon better; it was better in every category, from aroma to palate, but the carbonation was the real clincher--the lack of bubbles made this one especially inferior to my tastes. Still, this is not bad at all--I probably would’ve rated it higher had I not just drank the Cantillon before this.

Bottle: Poured a cloudy deep red color lambic with a small bubbly head with no retention or lacing. Aroma of tart notes of cherry with loads of barnyard notes. Taste is also dominated by tart notes of cherries though not as much sour notes or acidity as I was expecting. There is quite a bit of barnyard notes with some funky notes. Body is full with limited filtration and almost no carbonation. Interesting though not something I would need to have on a regular basis.

Bottled. An unclear red beer with a rim of off-white head. The aroma has notes of almonds, brett, and cherries. The flavor is acidic with notes of cherries, almonds, wood, and brettanomyces, leading to a tart and woody finish.

Bottle 37,5 cl. Courtesy of Theis. Pours a cloudy, opaque deep red with a tiny, off-white head. Heavy, heavy barnyard - the famous Belgian fart....you don’t find this in Sours from any other country. Medium body, low carbonation, heavily sour yet with amazingly fresh cherries. But goddamm that sourness and barnyard is heavy. Delicious. 260412

Sour cherry and rotting wood nose. Cloudy maroon, headless, still. Sour cherry with an underlying current of leather. Cranberry comes and goes unexpectedly. A good example of what a fruit lambic should be: lambic with fruit and not the other way around.
