On tap at The Magnet, pours a cloudy bright purple with a medium pink head. Nose is jammy, with lots of blackcurrant and subdued barnyard funk. Flavour is tart and jammy, with lots of jammy black currant, complemented by a gentle funk. Fruity, tart, but not as vibrant or funky as the Oude Cassis bottled version.

Row 34 draught, 11/23/22. Cranberry-violet, good clarity, pink bubbles quickly to ring/nothing. Big manure/barnyard nose replete with juicy, tart, well-aged brett and mild black currant. No acetic and only a gentle lactic presence with low malt/wheat and an overall easygoing character due to the Meerts blend. Soft, malty, but well-carbonated and well-malted. Light juiciness and low acidity. Tons of manure and huge Brett notes with no acetic and light lactic acidity. Sure, the Meerts blending makes these different than a traditional lambic, but if you look at it for what it is, it's still chalk full of great brett and incredibly drinkable with excellent flavors.

Draft: Poured a hazy yellow reddish lambic with a thin lacing head. Aroma of tart funky ester with some tart cassis notes. Taste is also a mix of tart cassis notes with some tart funky ester. Body is about average with good carbonation. Enjoyable but not as complex as I had expected.

(On tap @ Griendel, Quebec City, Sep 29/22) Pours hazy reddish orange with a thick stable whitish head and lace. Aroma of fresh black currant, red forest berries, soft lactic acidity, moderate wood and some barnyard funk. Flavour is medium red berries, kind of a lingonberry vibe, low pink grapefruit acidity, touch of jammy sweetness, light funk, drying finish. Medium body, smooth moderate carbonation. Not the punchiest cassis flavour but it's a pretty nice variant.
