Notes from April 2009 Champagne-sized variety. Pours out a dull pink, but settles into my tulip a sherry vinegar-like color. Murky. A good spritz of off-white head dies & lingers around the edges. Smells of strawberries & sweat at first, eventually becoming the imitation sugar-laden cherry syrup that gets oozed over your Carvel sundae. Tail end is acrid wood & burnt sugar. A notion of turned wine at first, it is immediately replaced with a nice, only slightly offensive pucker that is similar to old white grapefruit juice. Lightly caramelized sugar fills in just before an idea of cherry pits, cork, & what seems like apricot. The finish is tart & dry with vinegar & bread crust. Carbonation is mild, but whips up the acid at the end. Feel is slightly, slightly, yeasty. Overall, not too memorable, if only that I rarely make work of a 750 of anything but cheap champagne. Drinkability suffers because of price & the unmemorable qualities my limited short-term memory retains.

375ml bottle from Hoppy Craft, St Omer. Pours a hazed, dull brownish red, fast receding white head. Aroma sees strawberries jump first out the glass, with the first sip seeing a melange of assorted hedgerow berries, prominent cherries with some red berry shades up the rear. Hanssen's trademark savage acidity is kept in check.. sharp stuff!

Bottle. Color: Clear golden, stable white head. ABV 6% according to the label. Aroma: Fruity citrus, some lemon and hints of stone fruit. tart, light funky hints. Taste: Medium to over medium tart, Balsamico vinegar, fruity notes of lemon, citrus, unripe grape, oak wood. Funky hints. Probably quite a lot of older Lambic is used in this blend, given the tartness. Medium body, just below average carbonation. A little too acidic for me, personally. And missing some complexity.
