2020 notes:

This bottle's been in the fridge far too long, and would be celebrating it's 2nd birthday, if I waited too much longer. After a brief struggle with the cork, the beer is free and ready for the glass. Pours clear, bright gold, with a slim, soon-gone head.

In the nose: Straight up funk from the start. Traces of stone fruit and a touch of citrus surround the sides. Wild and wooly.

In the mouth: Blast of sour greets the palate. Lemon and lime mixes it up with apricot/ punk and some definitive Belgian-Style lambic funk. Thin-bodied, with a long, sour finish. Sour hits the lips and smacks the tongue, time after time. Glimmers of fruit offer strains of sweet, quickly subsiding and finishing dry and crisp.

A very admirable version of the Belgian lambic style. Wish I could have snagged bottles of the fruited variants. Ah, well, there will be more. Must try a little harder to get my hands on them next time.
