12 oz bottle shared by Odeed. Not really very sour but quite tasty! Nose is spicy, yeasty, white wine, and tart apricots. Cloudy rust with a big beige head (ask Odeed how much he lost as it gushed). Flavor is lightly tart, sherry, and fruity. Needs more tartness.

Chewy, orangey-red. Only a whisp of a head. Fresh raspberryish aroma with lots of barrel and it smells pretty sour. Hugely barrelly character, with light tartness, cherry and raspberry notes. Some woody vinegar stuff.

Bottle - thanks BuckeyeBoy. Orange amber color with a thin ring of beige head. Has a beautiful sour aroma filled with cherries, fruity notes, and oak. I could sit and sniff this all afternoon... Smooth and balanced flavors of sours and tart. Oak forward and less fruity presence. Not as much flavor coming through as such a divine aroma would suggest. A bit of a tease, in fact. Still, quite nice.

Bottle shared by Marcus. Pours hazy dark amber with a beige smear. An indescibeably luscious aroma - mild stone fruits and light oak. Medium body with very mild carbonation. Flavor is mildly oaky, sour, ripe fruity, brown sugary. Very, very delicious.

courtesy of googzoid10. pours cloudy orange, white head. aroma, nice sour scent , Belgian yeast with notes of wood/barrel. flavors, easy approach to the style compared to other sours and still, lots of complexity. nice Belgian yeasty flavors, mild sour finish, Sherry oak dark fruit flavors adding a nice wine like sourness. Sourness is mixed with a nice lingering sweet palate. Carbonation is right where it should be. Overall this is a wonderfully well crafted beer, a nice easy approach of the Flemish Red style. Everything was so well balanced, easy sipper with pure goodness from start to finish.
