Petrus Aged Red

Bottle. dark ruby to brown colour. Moderate off-white head. The aroma is cherry syrup, cherry stone. That’s it. Medium body. Medium sweet taste with notable fruit tartness along. Rather tasty as a fruit beer. No relation to sour.

Barwa ciemnorubinowa, piana różowa, dość obfita, całkiem trwała, z niezłym nawet lacingiem. W aromacie dominacja wiśni, lekko nuty czerwonego wina. W smaku słodkie, zdecydowanie wiśniowe, nieco nut kwaśnych, czerwonego wina oraz przypraw na finiszu i lekkiej cierpkości, kojarzącej się z dębowymi taninami. Wysycenie średnie, mogłoby być ciut wyższe, piwo jest za słodkie i za mało kwaśne, ciało dobre. Niezłe, ale nie do końca dobrze zbalansowane, wiśnia nieco za bardzo dominuje, poza tym jest ok.

Het is een lekker zoet zuur bier. Het is donker rood van kleur, met een mooi schuim.

750mL bottle drunk 12/10/16.
Clear amber-magenta body is topped by a beige/pink-tinged head, initially large and receding slowly to cover.
Cherry acids sit lightly atop moderate caramel and some slight saccharine-like sweetness. Moderate Belgian esters and definite acetic character with a hint of the wonderful aged pale. A little bit of metal and more caramel lingering.
Sweet and sticky in the mouth, the acids helping to mitigate some of this and a slightly medicinal, somewhat peppery finish with a moderate tartness. There are certainly some good things going on here, mostly due to the aged pale portion, I’d imagine plus there does seem to be some authentic cherry character, despite there also being lots of saccharine/powdered sugar and light fruit syrup. So a bit of a mixed bag, and kind of sweet, despite some sourness to mitigate it. It’s obviously meant to appeal to a wider, non-beer geek audience, which is fine.

Refrigerated 11.2 oz. brown bottle poured into a cup. Clear red with small beige head. Aroma is nice cherry, medium body, lower carbonation, and some pretty good small-bubble lacing. Taste is tart and some cherry.

Won at Ghent Beer Society's Beer Quiz.
Pours hazy dark brown with a red hue and a frothy, tan head. The aroma contains sweet & sour cherry, wood, a hint of vinegar, marzipan and yeast. It tastes medium fruity sour and medium fruity/sugary sweet; very light sour, malty finish. Alcohol is well hidden. Medium body, creamy texture, soft carbonation. Nice, smooth variation on the regular Petrus Ales and less 'aggressive' than other 'Oud Bruins'. (Edited 14/12/2017)
