This is an aged Belgian red ale, which is ‘ripened quietly in oak barrels for two years’, according to the label. It has an extremely pungent aroma of rich grapey fruit, with acidic notes, very much like a slightly sour red wine or possibly a gueuze. In the mouth it is slightly sweet, extremely acidic and fruity, with grapes and even cherries discernible, and very lively. Despite the sweetness it is not at all cloying, even thin, with little or no trace of malt. Finish is sharp and fruity

Pours amber, beige head, low resistance. Vinegar aroma and cherry. Taste is with moderate carbonation, again vineous feeling and some fruit. Mixed: fruit, sourness, malts and moderate carbonation. Very, very good.

Beer52 CyberFest #6. Creamy tan head stayed on a reddish brown still body. Red wine & tannin aroma. Medium bodied, smooth with a sharp dry finish. Red wine, tannin, berries, toffee & tart tastes with a sour finish. It's good.

Im Glas etwas jämmerlich, fahles Braun. In der Nase Trauben, sauer. Im Trunk auch sauer, aber bekömmlich, Champagner, vielleicht etwas Rotwein, geht so.
