On tap at Brasserie Saint James, pours a clear copper with a small white head. Aroma is pretty old school, with lots of pine cones, resinous hops and biscuity malt. Flavour is full of bitter pine cones upfront, with just enough crisp biscuity malt to back. Bitter pine with little residual sweetness on the finish. Good but not great.

On tap at Brasserie Saint James, pours a clear copper with a small white head. Nose has some reasonable funk to it, with tart plums and candi sugar. Flavour is sweet and sour, with tart plums, light vinegar, light funky and candi sugar. Why is there so much sweetness here? This is supposed to be a lambic? I guess it's passable as a sweet & sour beer but as a lambic, it's far off the mark.
