375 mL bottle, figured I’d see what this lambic thing was all about. Best by date April 2026. Pours bright red with a large pink-tinged head, active carbonation, and a couple fair-sized bits of sediment. Aroma is sour, tart cherry, strawberry, a little funky. Flavor is heavy sour cherry with hints of other red fruits like strawberry and raspberry. Tart cherry lingers quite strongly before disappearing. Well, it’s my first lambic, but the bold flavor has grown on me quite quickly.

12.7 fl oz / 375 ml corked and caged bottle purchased at Lukas Liquors in Kansas City, Missouri. Best before 20-04-2026 very lightly imprinted on the label, not entirely sure its 2026 - this makes it ~2 years old. Opens with a very loud pop. Pour is a gorgeous hazed yellow golden with a perfectly formed two inch all white head. A few lively, very fine, carbonation bubbles are seen working their way to the top of the tulip. Aroma is quite full, spicy barnyard yeastiness, lemon citrus, sharp bleu cheese funkiness and general wet dirt. There is also a smoky pepper something going on. Taste is initially the sharp acidic sourness, very much lemons. Immediately following the citric blast is the dirt and earthiness, which is quite drying. The finish is quite lasting, and is very much focused on the wet dirt. Though I get quite a bit of black pepper spiciness. As the palate adjusts, the citrus melds quite nicely into the full package, though the beer does lose some of its sharpness. Palate is dry, with nice carbonation. Quite complex and drinkable - not a combination you find too often.

(37.5cl bottle) Hazy, red coloured hue with a medium-sized reddish foamy head. Acidic and slightly dusty cherry-fruity aroma with notes of almonds. Moderately acidic flavour, cherry-fruity, slightly mouldy taste with a dry, acidic tart and quite lasting finish with distinctive notes of sour cherries and bitter almonds. Very quaffable brew (24.08.08).

Had the "old" version from the eighties. Unlabeled bottle. Copper coloured in the glass. Extrem sourish start, prickly and scratchy, modest fruity, prickling sourish finish, "burning" aftertaste. Very good beer!
