750mL bottle, pours an opaque dark ruby red with a small off-white head. Nose brings out loads of earthy notes, dark grape skins, and cheesy funk. Flavour brings out loads of grape skins, cherries, earthy notes, and some funk. Not exactly like an authentic lambic, but pretty damn close. Quite funky, complex, and elegant. As damn near a true lambic as an American lambic can be. Excellent.
