33 cL bottle. Pours hazy orange to red with a lacing white head. Acidic blueberry aroma. Flavour is dry acidic and citric with a delicate blueberry accent. A bit flat to watery though. Ends dry and acidic.

Bottle at Stockholm Beer Festival 2007
Red / dark amber color. Interesting aroma, mixing sourness, berries, light glue and citrus fruits aroma; light cellar smell too. Medium-light mouthfeel, some lemon juice flavor, sour but not aggressive, a touch of berries and malt, a bit astringent at the end. Not bad, but something is artificial.

(Bottle, Stockholm Beer Festival, 29 Sep 2007) Reddish brown colour with purple notes, brief frothy reddish beige head. Acidic, fruity nose with hints of wild berries (hard to pinpoint the blueberries). Fruity, sourish taste with notes of blueberries (better blueberry character in the taste than in the aroma). A bit thin. Interesting, but to be honest more interesting than impessive.(7/3/6/3/12=3.1) Rerate: (Bottle, 12 Dec 2016) Hazy red colour with dense, pinkish head. Fruity, sourish nose with blueberries, lingonberries, citrus, hay and barnyard. Fruity, tart taste with notes of blueberries, lingonberries, lemon, grass and a tart finish with a good blueberry character. Medium body, quite dry. Has spent some years in the bottle, which seems to have been good for it. Tasty, mellow and well balanced, with a good blueberry character. But hardly as complex as the best Belgian lambics. Quite nice.

Deep red color, not much head. Sour fruity aroma, some horseblanket. This lambic is sweet and soir, like drinking blueberry milk mixed with lambic. Sourness is not as intensive as in the "real thing".

Red, almost purple colour. No head. Sourish aroma with notes of blueberries and cranberries. Sourish blueberry flavour ruined by some odd, nasty off-flavour.

Bottled at Stockholm Beer Festival 2007. An unclear red beer with a thin off-white head. The arom ais acidic bret’y combined with notes of berries and wood. The flavor is acidic woody combined with notes of berries - can’t tell it is blueberries - , leading to a dry woody and bretty finish. The body is thin, but I quite like it.
