    It's 2 year old Cantillon lambic (I believe unblended) that's dry hopped in the cask before bottling. They add some candi sugar to the bottle to achieve carbonation.

    It's somewhat similar to Iris, and yes, it's delicious.

    Also, in before "No it sucks. Send to me for proper disposal."

    If you aren't into sours I would just trade it. Or save it til you are.

    It's a pretty awesome beer. I got to have it on tap last year and it was absolutely remarkable. I'd say it's a pretty rare find around this parts.
