Bottle thanks to a generous trader. Pours radioactive orange. Nose/taste of tart cherries, vinous notes, wild yeast and oak. Medium body. Well balanced moderately heavy tartness with a slight cherry vinegar feel to it.

Gelungen säuerlicher Antrunk mit fruchtigen Kirschnoten. Das Bier wird danach noch fruchtiger, die Säuerlichkeit bleibt dabei nicht auf der Strecke sondern steigt, wenn auch weniger als die Fruchtigkeit. Sehr süffig, wenig süß innerhalb der Säuerlichkeit. Auch spät sind die Fruchtnoten noch vorhanden und können in ihrer Intensität überzeugen. Gelungenes Sour Ale, in dem die hinzugefügten Kirschen ihren Zweck erfüllen. /12/12/13/10/12

Bottled. An amber beer with a thin lazing beige head. The aroma has notes of vinegar and malt. The flavor is acidic with notes of malt, fruit, red currant, and cherries, leading to a tart finish.

Bottle at the Utah beer tasting. My first brew from Alpine. Pours out a gold topped with a nice cloud head. Aroma of oak, fruit, and some barn yard. Tast is much of the same along with some tartness and some light fruit.

Hazy orange with a small white head. Funky aroma of real lambic with hay, leather and grapefruit. Dry and tart funky flavour with a bit cherry and a faint hint of caramel.

Clear reddish amber with a fleeting, thin white head. Sour tart aroma. The flavor is dry, sour and tart with very little sweetness. The tartness lingers into the finish. Light, dry and tart sum it all up.

(Bottled @ChrisO’s) A bit hazy orange color, no head. Sour, peachy fruity aroma. Sour, fruity (peach, apricot), some hints of spiceyness or alcohol. Quite good imitation of lambic. Aftertaste should be more intensive.
