750mL bottle, pours a cloudy dark pinkish red with a medium off-white head. Aroma has a wonderfully complex barnyard funk, fairly gentle floral notes from the hibiscus, and a touch of leather. Flavour follows through, with a complex barnyard funk, a fantastic hibiscus infusion, leather, oak, and some earthiness. Fantastic infusion of the hibiscus and wonderful funk. Lovely.

Purplish-red. Opaque. There's a nice berry accent on the aroma. It seems a bit hoppy on the palate, with berry notes, which I imagine are hibiscus. The base lambic is earthy, some oaky notes. Pretty good. Not a ton of complexity but it's good.

Poured from 750mL bottle (2024 vintage; bb 31/12/2028). Deep purple-ish red with small off white head. Nice aroma, earthy with feint hibiscus. Taste of hibiscus, feintly vinous-like, subdued, but nice complexity.

750mL bottle. Pours a cloudy deep ruby with an off-white head. Old wood, leather on the nose, great funk complexity finished with a bright flfloral character on the nose. Flavour has a nice musty character, plenty of mildew, old wood. The hibiscus adds a very nice floral character to this. Excellent.

750mL bottle, pours a deep dark burgundy with a small off-white head. Aroma has pungent apple core, huge blueberries, and some buried funk. Flavour is full of intense, rotting apple core, wood glue, gentle funk, and a touch of acidic blueberries. This is pretty rough—so much rotting apple core and wood glue. This isn’t up to speed compared to usual Publitasting lambics. Not egregious, but definitely very far from a top-tier lambic.

Hazy purple. Fresh berry character, lots of acidity. The berry character is fairly strong, and the apple note is cidery and is messy, incongruous, in terms of the clash between berry and apple here.
