A golden beer with a thick white head.A pleasant aroma of Brett and fruit, quite nice. A sweet apricot start followed by lactic acid, vinegar, a bit too sweet, but overall interesting. Light bodied. Bottle is about yrs old.

Copper coloured body with a bright orange tint and a short-lived white head that tops the beer. Aroma of pure fresh apricots, caster sugar, malt, white grapes and a nice fresh scent. Medium-bodied; Sweet flavourful taste of apricots with a great caster sugar taste and a perfect amount of malt. This one is what fruit beers should be. Aftertaste shows the apricots fully through with a good maltiness and a perfect amount of sugars. Overall, a damn good fruit beer - perhaps one of the better ones made. I sampled this nearly 3 year old bottle purchased from Whole Foods in Vienna, Virginia on 24-December-2005.

Bottle: Clear gold pour with a moderate sized creamy beige head. Smells like, well... apricot juice. Taste is again the fruity apricot nectar, just like I remember them when picked straight from the tree. Some light hops and more fruity sweetness. Just the right amount of carbonation. Good, for what it is (more of a fruit juice than a beer).

Bottle: Poured a bright golden color ale with a large pure white foamy head with good retention with some lacing. Aroma consists of real apricot without any fake syrup as well as some subtle sour notes. Taste is again dominated by some nice real apricot taste without the domination of the fake syrupy fruit stuff you sometime find in those beers. Great carbonation with a somewhat full body. I really enjoyed this for what it was and wouldnโt mind having a more regular access to this beer.

35.5 cL bottle. Pours hazy orange to redish with a lacing faint pink to white head. Artificial strawberry aroma. Sweet flavour with a distinct strawberry flavour. Somewhat artificial finish with a distinct sweetness. Candy pop in a bottle yet enjoyable.

35.5 cL bottle. Pours dark redish towards murky with a lacing faint pink head. Light sulphorish dry cherry aroma. Flavour starts extremely sweet cherry flavoured and gains a solid acidic to citric touch along the way. Solid cherry flavour with a mild cripsy mouthfeel. Ends with a lingering cherry aroma reaching the back of the nose. Nice for what it is.

Canโt be a lambic, from England? And itโs clear too, just like pale yellow american lager. No gunk on the bottom of this bottle, must be a filtered lambic or a krystal lambic, heheheh. Big head that fades to a half big head. Smell is tart and sour fruity. OOOOOH, the flavor of this is fantastic! Delicious and pleasing all fru-fru- fruity around. Not quite like those sweet lambics, a little more near the style of gueze. Wow, nice carbonation. This stuff is refreshing an yummy. Totally enjoyable the whole way thru, lovely. Beautifully sour finish that leaves your mouth puckering - zowwie! Very nice melbourn!

Bottle. Reddish amber body with a medium pink head. Aroma is more cherry than strawberry, actually cherry stone in the aroma. Also a bit of a lambic aroma here. Flavor is more of strawberry, some cellar notes as well. Fine refreshing sourish finish.

Bottle. An almost clear, orange-brown beer with a sourish, strawberry aroma, lambic-reminiscent, but not exactly there. Strawberry and weak lambic in the flavor, lacking barnyard and similar flavors, but rich on sourness. Syrupy, slightly astringent mouthfeel, with a sugary and sour finish. A nice and refreshing beer, I think I could easily down a few of these on a hot summer day. (080215)
