Bottle. This beer reminds me of elder juice in every aspect. It looks like it, smells like it and has that special natural tartness of it. It also got some citrus sourness. Nice in many different aspects but it’s a little too straight forward and lacks in complexity.

Bottle. Pours brown with a big off-white head. Sour aroma with some chocolate bitterness and rosted malts. Tastes sour at first but abruptly it changes into a choclatey taste. I don’t think it is balanced but still it levels its two different flavours.

Ap: Dark brown. Big and long lasting white head. Ar: Sour. Small touch of chocolate. Fla: Big sourness with a depth of spices. Dry finish of coffee and chocolate. Ov: The body is a little too small for a beer of this complexity. This beer is brewed with a "careless" charm of a homebrewer. Unique!

Bottle. Ap: Pours cloudy yellow(golden), big but short lasting white head. Ar: Sourness. Small spiciness in the background. Fla: Sour berries. Extreme tartness in the finish. I also noticed a natural (almost honey-like) sweetness. Ov: I really loved this one! Too bad it had little too much carbonation.

Bottled @ Olfestival 09 pre-tasting. Coca-cola appearance, no head. Aroma of tobacco, coffee, sourness as well. Very weird brew.

Bottle from La Cave a Bulles. Pours opaque brown/black with bubbles, but no head. Something of a mocha aroma. Near medium body with soft carbonation. It’s sour, and it has coffee. There’s spice and nuts, and arguably chocolate. Finishes with darkish fruit and sour and chocolate. Really different beer.

Bottle, thanks to SHIG for sharing, pours hazy orange, no head. Smells like a gueuze, with some light apple notes. Taste is sour with bitter orange. Very tart and dry in the finish.

Bottle: Poured a murky orange with a carbonation to it, there was no head. The aroma was sour pungent fruit. Taste was sour fruit some funkyness of apples. There was some wine presence to it as well on the tongue.

Bottle from La Cave à Bulles, Paris, 5.9% ABV
Cloudy blond color; the big head reduces quickly. Strange aroma, with strong Bretts and bitter citrus fruits. Dry mouthfeel, extremely acidic, with some citrus fruits, lemon juice; no need to talk of malt and hopping here. I’m pretty sure they didn’t want to brew a Lambic, but at least it didn’t end up so far from some original one, and has a perverse pleasant side.
