Light haze on this deep amber beer. Small pale cream coloured head. Palate is smooth and slightly soft and semi dry. Tangy, almost sour, coca cola and generic fruits. Mild lactose. Semi dry finish. Hides the abv well.

Bottle @ home. Clear mahogany red color, small beige head that disappears almost instantly. Aroma is mostly sourish, red wine, musty. Taste red berries (or is that red currant officially?), slightly sourish, but more sweetish in the flavor than in the aroma, red fruit, slightly winey. Medium dry finish, medium body, average carbonation. Hmm weird, don’t find it as bad as some of the previous raters but I do find it a weird beer that is hard to finish.

Bottle sample @ VBPF ’13. From what I gather this is an attempt at an Oud Bruin. Acajou, col beige disparaissant vite. Arôme à un côté malté caramel, fruité rouge assez agréable avec une pointe de brett. Palais garde une effervescence moyenne-haute pour un palais un peu à la ramasse. Fruité noire, pomme caramel, et ce côté tanin, pelure de fruits. Malt est modéré donnant une pointe de whisky très fine avec un sucré en arrière bouche. Le tout se mélange à un profil restant moyennement aigre.

33 cl. bottle @ home // purchased @ Hopduvel // not expensive // I mainly got this because I heard it sucked almost unbelievably had #curious // pours a red wine / ruby / touch muddy brown with an unnerving lack of head // smells spoiled sour, fermenting grape juice, mouldy, rotting, unintentionally fermenting, sickeningly sour fermenting // taste like rotting grains, chocolate powder, unintentionally fermenting grape juice, mouldy wet rag, cheapest wine gone bad, almost bitter tannins to it, uneatable rotting wild berries, lasting bitterness in the mouth, very cheap hobo wine booze // pretty much flat, clearly non-intended // are they serious about this beer? this is not a sour beer, this is an intentionally infected, rotting, fermenting liquid – this crap is not meant for human consumption // they weren’t brewing this, they either failed or did just did something, sold it as a Belgian sour, probably for export // there is brewing & there is just plain trying to rip off people // one can understand someone brewing a bad beer but selling something like this almost feels criminal // this tastes like something someone brewed in jail // or maybe I am being too harsh or unfair

Just a little prickly pearling, insufficient to raise a head; flat muddy red-brown beer. Sharp vinous nose, also slightly acetic, bacterial. Tad fruity. Flat, slightly vinous and chocolatey, but above all tasting tired & lame. Again fruity-sweetish finish (the alcohol? It certainly doesn’t feel like 10% ABV...) Warming up, solvent to acetone wafting up. Somehow, there is still some carbonation, MF proving. Thinnish body, but somewhat slick. Somebody has tried something - ’what they all do, and are praised for’. Don’t think this result was the idea, however valuable it might have been at the start.

26/X/2012 - 33cl bottle from De Hopduvel (Gent) @ Klaas' place - BB: n/a (2012-1188)
Note: this was during a blind tasting, and all 7 of us thought it to be nasty beer, so it's not just me, it's not my prejudice with Gaverhopke.
Clear pale brown beer, small aery off-white head, unstable, non adhesive. Aroma: bit sourish, rotten fruits, caramel, vinegar, cheesy. MF: a bot of carbon, light to medium body. Taste: sour, bit sugary, overripe fruits, rotten stuff. I'll finish here. Another disgusting, completely infected beer. Why do they keep making and selling this stuff? Why do I keep trying it?
