Plum juice-flavored lambic retains white grape dryness, mildly tart citric fruiting, and bottom heavy sediment. Sharp carbonation doesn’t overwhelm accentuating sour green apple mist. A fine alternative to hard cider and near the top of the ‘fruit’ class.

“Spontaneously fermented with banana juice” adage will make mainstream beer drinkers cry foul and cringe. However, finely crafted brew lacks gimmicky peculiarities. Banana essence blends well with yeast-sweetened honeyed oats and sour plantain tartness. Open-minded fruit ale lovers will find this irresistible.

Spontaneously fermented oak-aged jam-scented lambic with sweet strawberry juice essence, rotted cherry luster and tauntingly tart grape esters given slight mesquite wood tone. Closer to syrupy malt beverage or fruity red wine than beer or ale (and unsettling to true blue collar drinkers). So strawberry enriched you could almost taste the seeds from the fruit.

Fermented with pineapple and matured in oak caskets, sticky sweet citrus-toned malt beverage retains juicy fruit thrust from the start. Softly carbonated, silky, nearly cloy, tartly hard-candied treat is easily the best pineapple-flavored lambic currently available. But it’s predictable after a few swigs and limited in appeal.

Tangy apricot essence with eye-squinting oaken tartness well integrated for excellent cask-conditioned dessert beer. Sour citrus allure and Pez-like fizz given lime-y backdrop to musty cork-mildewed stone fruit finish.
