Sour ale refermented with grapes apparently, bottle shared at Nieuwjaarsreceptie of the Gentse Biervereniging. Very loose, bubbly head, instantly gone, on misty, amberish-tinged deep fuchsia red beer. Aroma of rotting grapes and overripe raspberries, spoiled tomato juice, rubber, cherry stones, beetroot, sour yoghurt, red wine vinegar. Sharply sour onset, redcurrant and lemony puckering acidity with a sweeter, raspberry-, grape- and cherry tomato-like core; bready malt base, soft carbonation. Finishes very dry and acidic in a somewhat vinegary manner, powdery and earthy yeasty as well. Quite straightforward, too harsh sourness even for the style - and an aroma which is not all too attractive. Not a great success I'm afraid, but good for a state tick...

Bottle from a trade. Many thanks jtclockwork! Dark purple colour, pink foam. Nose of sour grapes, port, balsamic vinegar, wood. Taste is very tart, bit one dimensional but also fruity. Nice and interesting beer!

3/II/18 - 75cl bottle @ Nieuwjaarsreceptie Gentse Biervereniging - BB: n/a (2018-72) Thanks to all members for sharing!
Clear to little cloudy deep ruby red beer, practically no head. Aroma: very aggressive, sulphur, dirty, vinegar notes. MF: lively carbon, medium to light body. Taste: very acidic, bit fruity, tannins, unpleasant bitterness. Aftertaste: astringent, bit watery, vinegar. Not very nice...

Bottle in CO. Pours rich red with a foamy, light pink head. Great aroma of tangy grapes, cherries, a little wood. Light sweet flavourbwith beautiful very tartness, moderate acidity, clean woody dryness. Light bodied with massaging carbonation. Dry and tart finish, with nips of lemon, subtly jammy grapes, quenching acidity, a hint of funk. Outstanding.
