Hanssens Artisanaal Oudbeitje Lambic

lambic
Holy strangeness! Wild crazy stuff. Barrel aged, blended lambic. Intense nose of cinnamon, strawberries, high tone, funk, vulcanised rubber, VA, rust... on to taste... I take it back... the nose is not intense... the palate... THIS is intense... puckering, high acidity, air-dried apple cores, white vinegar, salty, citric... a LOT like scrumpy cider, but so high toned, it's hard to think this isn't off, but reviews on Beer Advocate seem pretty consistent. Ok, I'm no lambic specialist, I usually only buy it because R. likes the light fruity styles... this is not that... she is stunned... thinks this is Geneva Convention violation territory...
