Bottle chugged at brewery. Pours deep red with an off white bubbly head that fades to cling on the glass. Aroma is cheesy funk, sharp red grape, oak, a bit of barnyard. Taste is a big funky barnyard hit, red grape skin comes through with drying sharpness, bit of oak and cheesy funk. Super drying close. Bloody lovely!

Bottle: Poured a deep dark reddish color lambic with a large foamy head. Aroma of strong funky notes with some tartness and powerful grape notes are also noticeable. Taste is also a mix of strong grapes notes with some funky notes, light Brett and tart and oak notes are also noticeable. Body is full with good carbonation. Wonderful fruity lambic with loads of fruit notes.

Very nice. Totally vinous, rich and fruity, red grape, some cherry too, sourness is lovely and subtle, but comes at the finish. Well rounded, slight sharpness. Great stuff. Low carb.

750ml bottle @ Cantillon, Brussels. Smooth, heavy with berry notes, tartness. Sourness and funky farmyard. Pretty soft and balanced.
