At 7%, much stronger than I expected. I found the other LTs in this sixer quite smooth and refreshing. Tho altbiery, this is more like a style of strong something; lager or ale. Candy aroma. Looks like a brown oranger transparent beer, somewhat off pale yellow. Barely any carbonation in the glass. Too much for my girlie taste buds. In your face alt, if that is what it is? Medicine stronger alky biting finish, does not hide its alky content well. Smell is only value above average. Probably would be liked by the IPA and impy stout lovers.

Interesting weirdly off aroma when you pop the lid but turns slightly flowery sweet inthe glass. Darker orange brown but translucent. Good initial flavor impressions. Goes down easy. Thin head, fades quickly. If I didn’t know better I would have thought this was an octoberfest, it has many of the qualities. Friendly and refreshing without any offensive bitter hop bite. Certainly like an octoberfest. Rather enjoyable crispy finish.

Sampled on draft at the Rivertowne Pub in North Huntingdon PA this beer poured a medium golden color with a medium sized white head. The aroma was tangy, dry cardboard and a light vague berry note. The flavor as tart and tangy with a noticable dry cardboard element and a light vague berry note. The finish was long tangy cardboard. Blah.

Very nice clean yeasty aroma turns slightly fruity and perfumy in the glass. Slightly darker than the ubiquitous pale lager but just as clear. Meollow flavor that wants to come on strong but does not. Godd tingly carbonation and its welcomed. After the session continues, there is a medium light building hops falvor. Nice enjoyable hint of fruit in there too. Has some hop presence without being offensive nor over the top. Very enjoyable beer, glad I got to try this. Finish is nice and friendly, hides alky well. Surprizingly pleasing.

Very nice obtuse banana aroma mixed with vanilla. Pour is clear till you get to the bottom then the gunk swirls in nicely. Good initial flavor impact, not offensive and pretty enjoyable. A likable brew that is easy to get along with. Nice and tasty without any ill effects. Good tingly carbonation that is just above average. Overall very pleased with this brew and I’m glad I picked it up. Finish is a bit dull and perhaps a tad watery, but nothing out of the norm for a beer of this style.

Not really a lambic as specified in the description. Tart yet dull berry initial flavor, lacks zing. Not sweet nor sweettart. Could use some sweetness to bring it around. Much like many typical fruit beers. Looks like ubiquitous pale yellow beer. Cheap lager finish, not bad bud expected more. Perhaps a little too much ale bitterness in there for me.

Nice sharp attractive sticky pine sap aroma. Hazy off yellow sparkling appearance. Big obnoxious shockingly bitter taste bud impact. Bitter sappy middle of the tongue roto-tiller. Terrible soapmix with grapefruit pulp lasting linger. On style, perhaps double or impy territory. Quite difficult, yet does not trigger gag reflex.

Draft at Rupununi’s. My first impression of this beer was that is was all booze and bitter. But by the end of the glass, I found enough malts to believe there were some in the beer. Still, the balance was off. Dark amber body with a short head. The aroma was lightly malty with notes of caramel and bread. Floral hops are more noticable. The flavor is lightly sweet and moderately bitter. Heavy taste of alcohol in the finish along with a lingering bitterness. The medium body has a lively carbonation and a thin texture.

@ Uno’s-12oz bottle-pours a dissipating white head and verry hazy pale yellow color. Aroma is musty wheat, secondary spice, yeast. Taste is musty wheat, tart-lemon, secondary spice, yeast. A slightly spiced lawnmower beer. OK effervescence.
