Beer Review

Appearance

Slightly hazy gold. You can see through to the other side.

Aroma

Aroma (Orthonasal)

Strong sour Lambic character. Classic Lambic aroma. Complex yeast notes.

Flavor (Retronasal)

Caesar dressing and metallic notes. Yeast — not particularly lively, but settled. Acidic flavors. Slight briny quality.

Taste

Mouthfeel

Natural carbonation that builds gradually.

Body & Texture

Acidity spreads across the tongue while being well supported by malt. The sourness is relatively restrained for a Lambic. Fairly easy to drink. Caesar dressing notes here too.

The Swallow

A refreshing acidity flows through the nose

Aftertaste

An acidity close to shiso (perilla) lingers in the mouth for a long time. It’s similar to the salivation you get after eating umeboshi (pickled plum). It makes you hungry. Makes me crave white rice.

At the Bottom

Dead yeast aromas. Spiciness. When you taste it, the sourness is definitely there but not overpowering. Delicious. The aroma that spreads in the mouth is exactly like umeboshi (pickled plum).

Overall Impression

A beautiful Lambic that owns its metallic character. Delicious and easy to pair with food.
