I would love to explain in all it's comedy, but I am tired. 14 hour brew day successfully in the books.

Isn't that normal at this stage in the fermentation? I seem to remember reading in Wild Brews by Jeff Sparrow that at certain stages of the fermentation there will be different concentrations of various 'bugs', some of which are quite unpleasant. I've never made a lambic, so I may be way off base here. Just going by what I've read, I would let let it go for a full year and see how it tastes then. I'm sure someone more knowledgeable will chime in. Hopefully everything is still good

I would hope it would be pretty good after 5 months. What kind of off smell/taste is there? Vinegar? Floor cleaner?

Don't see any problems with that date as of yet...but it's a little far out.

Do we wanna combo that with a cider day?
