750mL bottle, pours a cloudy orange with a tiny white head. Aroma brings out lots of stone fruits, cherry notes and light funk. Flavour is quite funky, with stone fruits, cherries, medium acidity and light funk on the finish. Nicely balanced, with higher acidity the usual for an authentic lambic.

Very heavy on the filmjölk (google that). Decent cherry presence. Not a fan of the lactic acid base at all but ok except for that.

Lovely raspberry presence. Tiny bit astringent perhaps which gets a bit harsh on the palette with the acidity. Nice fruited sour!
