This is our first true sour lambic, and the second of two beers that DJ's parents picked up in Florida, thanks again!
This brew pours burgundy with a thin pinkish white head and looks very similar to almost all of the other lambic's we've reviewed on the site. The aroma is moderately strong and has characteristics of sour raspberries, vinegar, apples, and hard cider. The taste is extremely sour - pretty much all I can get from it is the sour raspberries. Right at the end there is a slight vinegar flavor that transitions into an aftertaste (doesn't go away for a while!). Oh man is this sour, if you ever had one of those warhead candies as a kid, this is that in beer form, sheesh. Obviously if you are not a fan of anything sour avoid this like the plague, otherwise, if you want to try something a little different, at least compared to US lambics, give this a whirl.
