Bottle 750ml @ My parent's. Pours hazy amber/red with a off-white head. Aroma has notes of malt, tart, cherry, funk and barnyard. Taste is light sweet and medium to heavy sour with a long tart, cherry, cherry pits and funky finish. Body is medium, texture is thin, carbonation is soft.

T: sweet-sour strawberry, raspberry, sweetened jam, herbs.

Not as terrible as the 'Black Pepper' counterpart, but still disappointing as a fruited Lambic.

Bottle from 2013. Extreme sour and fruity beginning. Deep fresh sour cherries, intense sourness, horse blanket, smooth sour, deep intense sour in the end. Lots of great fresh cherries, sour and deep fruity. Long and intense aftertaste. Fascinating!!

Sehr süss, die würzig-sauren Lambic-Aromen werden etwas in den Hintergrund gedrängt. Aber fein.

Bottle from Utobeer, Borough Market, London. Lightly hazed yellowy-amber with a white head and a soft fizz. Tastes of tinned peaches and potpourri. The artificial peach blossom is really overdone. It's quite sweet with just a light tartness and a wisp of bitterness in the aftertaste. Too artificially floral for my liking.
