Sampled from bottle at home, massive thanks to Maakun. Hazy red amber with white head. Sweet fruity smell. Sweet and tart red fruit. Berries, raspberries, blueberries, hay, barnyard, cherry stones. Very fruity. Light sweet and moderate sour. Medium body, minerallike texture. Soft carbonation and chalky feel. Very nice tart fruity finish. Lovely!

Bottle shared. Slight hazy red/amber with good sized very light pink head. Lots of blueberries and red berries, funk, light grassy, some sweet malts and wheat, light mineral, soft sweet yoghurt, strawberry jam. Just medium sweet and sour with a light bitterness. Really nice balance of the sweet and sour on one side, and fruit and funk on the other. Very good.

750mL bottled 3/25/16, drunk 12/21/16.
Bright, cherry-red body has some deeper auburn hues, a good clarity and a medium-sized, beige and pink-flecked off-white head showing moderate retention.
The nose delivers an immediate wallop of strong, juicy, sweet, rich strawberry and punchy acetic acid. It softens somewhat as lactic and brett acids lighten things, though the sweet element never fully dissipates. Lots of jammy fruits with some light minerality and woolen funk do give slight notions of a lambic but the acidity is still very powerful and messy.
In the flavor it’s again powerfully jammy, with intense strawberry sugar hitting you quickly followed by intense acetic acid adding a vinegar-like sour element. Carbonation is low, could be a bit more tight and this really exacerbates the sweet and sour intensity. I applaud how much fruit flavor they’ve pumped in to this thing; for what it’s worth, the fruit is very authentic, but this beer is just too messy still. Seems like they’ve brewed this for the long haul. Will have to revisit some time down the road. I will say it’s decidedly not terribly lambic-y and just comes off much like an American sour. Rating is to the Lambic style, however, with a little leniency given for its young age.

Thanks Huhzubendah for sharing the bottle! Poured into a taster showing well filtered honey with no head. The nose shows very strong and horse blanket with an old oak barrel. The palate is light bodied and moderately carbonated. Lightly tart with a moderately strong oak forwardness and a white wine bitterness on the finish. Lacks enough tartness to really elevate it to a proper gueuze.

Tangerine and pineapple like the fruit section in the supermarket got mixed up in its regions. Hazy blonde pour with decent head and lacing. Tap at Norms.

Sampled on draft at Hugo’s this beer poured a bright yellow gold color with a large foamy white head that lingered and left great lacing. The aroma was semi sweet and tart with grapefruit and lemon. The flavor was bitter and tart with notes of lemon, cactus and grapefruit. Long hoppy finish. Medium body. Meh.

Bottle at Peg’s Cycle BA Day thanks to Kevin. Pours a hazy ruby with small pinkish white head that lasts. The aroma is strong cherry skin, funk, oak. Thin body, sweet cherry, oak, funk, light acidity, nice tartness, really enjoyed this.
