Not as sour as I would like, but clearly recognizable as a lambic. There is some light barnyard in the aroma and flavor. A nice looking, red beer with pink foam. A little sweet, but not as sweet as Chapeau or Lindemans. A nice fruit beer.

Bottle 50 cl: Cloudy bloody red with a nice pink lasting head. Sweet cherry & fruity aroma. Very candy like. Good lacings. Very sweet flavor - rather one dimesional. Very drinkable!

Bottle. Aroma of strawberries with a hint of sour. Reddish tinged amber color with a pink tinged white head that is respectable. Tiny bubbles. Thin to medium bodied with slightly sharp carbonation. The flavor is sweetish with strawberry and a very faint sour note. Pleasant, but that’s pretty much it. The finish is a bit tart, like strawberry skin or a not quite ripe berry. Worth consuming every so often.

Vivi cherry red with a big pink head and plenty of carbonation. Aroma of cherries with some yeast and a touch of farmyard. Flavour of tart cherries with a slightly dry finish. Good.

Bottle. Pours a clear, golden body with a nice, white head with pour retention. A good deal of carbonation is going on. The aroma is dominated by the apricot, but sourness, yeast notes and some barnyard shines through. Some sweetish notes as well, guess that’s related to the apricot juice. The flavor has a good deal of apricot, but here as well, the sourness and some barnyard steps forward, and it is certainly sweet too. It is a bit thin, so it would probably do better only with apricots soaking in the fermenting beer, and not having juice added. A bit sticky on the palate as well. The apricot flavor, and a little sourness stays all the way to the finish, leaving a little astringent feeling. I guess it will do as a refresher in the summer heat, but the sweetness would probably make you stop after the first bottle. Quite nice. (070928)

Bottle. Pale amber colour. Slightly cloudy with a fair amount of carbonation. Aroma of slightly tart apricots, yeast and a hint of farmyard - a bit like a commercial lambic. Sweet fruit flavour with a dry lambic finish. Good.

Sour lambic aroma supported by apricot. Orange tinged golden color with a respectable white head. Medium body, creamy carbonation, lactic sour, and sweet apricot. The finish is astringent, lactic, slightly apricoty. Sort of like having alum in the mouth. Not a bad thing, and the mouth writhings required to enjoy it are well invested.

Deep red with a lasting light pink head. Aroma has fresh cherry and almond (cherry stones). Sweet with some tartness, completely cherry dominated flavour, but never cloying. The perfect aperitif beer.

Bottle SH Jones, Bicester, 12-05-07. Aroma of Rowntree’s strawberry jelly smelt great and reminded me of watching my mum in the kitchen pouring that boiling water over those cubes of jelly and watching them dissolve, anyway enough of that. The colour was a reddy/orange colour not as pinky red as I was expecting, there was a decent sized but fast dissappearing head but even that was whiter than I thought that it should be. Tasted very sweet but great strawberryness that just wins you over, think I will stock up on some of these as they’re easy for me to come by and maybe some of the apricot and cherry counterparts for an alternative refreshing summer tipple.
