375ml bottle online from Etre Gourmet. 2019 bottle I think. Pours opaque golden with a few loose bubbles. Aroma: musty, barnyard, sour lemon, vinegar hints. Taste: moderate to heavy acetic, sour lemon, musty white grape, cider vinegar. Medium body. Light carbonation. Dry vinegar-y finish. Not what I was expecting. Interesting. Can't say I loved it

375 ml bottle into tulip glass, no bottle dating. Pours fairly crystal clear deep orange/amber, light red/copper color with a small dense light pink head with great retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big juicy/tart/tangy red/black cherries, fruit skin/pits, lemon, lime, orange, peach, plum, pear, apricot, red/green apple, red grape/wine, oak, hay, straw, grass, candi sugar, wheat, and white bread; with light notes of pepper, leathery/musty/lacto funk, and yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of cherry juice, sugars, pale/wheat malts, and light-moderate fruity/funky/acidic yeast notes; with big strength. Taste of big juicy/tart/tangy red/black cherries, fruit skin/pits, lemon, lime, orange, peach, plum, pear, apricot, red/green apple, red grape/wine, oak, hay, straw, grass, candi sugar, wheat, and white bread; with light notes of pepper, leathery/musty/lacto funk, and yeast earthiness. Light-moderate fruity/lactic tartness, fruit tang; and light yeast/oak spiciness on the finish. Lingering notes of juicy/tart/tangy red/black cherries, fruit skin/pits, lemon, lime, orange, peach, plum, pear, apricot, red/green apple, red grape/wine, oak, hay, straw, grass, candi sugar, wheat, white bread, light pepper/leather/musty/lacto funk, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a while. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of cherry juice, sugars, pale/wheat malts, and light-moderate fruity/funky/acidic yeast flavors; with a great malt/sugar and tart/tangy fruit balance; with no cloying/puckering flavors after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering tart/tangy fruit and wild yeast notes. Medium carbonation, and medium-plus body; with a very smooth, creamy/grainy, fairly acidic/tangy, and lightly tannic balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 3.5%. Overall this is an excellent sweetened fruit lambic. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of cherry juice, sugars, pale/wheat malts, and light-moderate fruity/funky/acidic yeast flavors; very smooth and refreshing to drink with the mellowly acidic/tangy/drying finish; great soft feel, and mellowly lactic. Great balance between juicy/jammy cherries, candi sugar, and pale/wheat malts; with solid Brett/Bacteria complexity. Not overly sweet/heavy from lingering dryness. A really enjoyable offering, and impressive style example. No complaints.

A very enjoyable offering, and well made style example. Not quite as sweet as most others I've had in this style of lambic, with solid acidity/tangy fruit presence; and more barnyard character than usual.
