Corked bottle, bought @ the brewery. Reddish pink color. Soap, cherries and marzipan in the aroma. Slightly perfumed soft sourish flavor. Just a hint of cherry. The only sweetness you’ll find is from the fruit, otherwise the beer is dry. The brett is only starting to do its job. Plastic and leathery notes are in the developing stages. This beer still needs time to unfold.

33cl Bottle at RBESG 2010 Rome, at Alex's warehouse, thanks. One of the first De Molen sours I think. I remember it to be quite a sour and acetic fruit beer, not really complex. De Molen has certainly got better at making sour beers in the meantime. And spelling.

06.06.2017, 0,33l bottle shared with a college @ Olutravintola Pikkulintu:
Soft gusher. Small slightly bubbly-creamy mediumlasting head, hazy reddish color. Aroma is slightly dry sour-ish mineraly, weeds, minerals, sour grass, cherry stones, hay, sawdust, old dusty cellar, paper, berry skin, sour red berries. Taste is slightly dry sour-ish mineraly, weeds, hay, minerals, sour grass, cherry stones, berry skin, old dusty cellar, sour red berries, paper. Medium bitterness, slightly watery and harsh metallic mouthfeel. Fair enough given the age...

Very flat beer, especially since this is a Molen brew. Water body, with only a subtle taste of the fruit, there is not much sourness. I understand this is retired.

Cloudy dark red beer, good size pale pink head. A bit of a gusher. Palate is semi dry and a little crisp. Lightly sour cherry, pleasingly mild. Mild seltzer minerals. A little raspberry and a trace of lactose. Semi dry finish. Really nice mildly sour fruit here.

33 cl. bottle @ home purchased from Alvinne: biggest gusher I have ever seen in my life, once I popped the cap, I literally burst like forth like a FONTAIN, incredibly for 5 seconds or so I had a fountain my kitchen, damn beer was everywhere, huge pink foam that quickly settled, raspberry coloured beer, insane, I was left with about half of a glass of beer at the end, smell is tart, slightly musty raspberries with some kriek, both fermenting, overripe, funky, lots of cobwebs mixed with cotton candy, taste is rather foal, first almost nothing, slight cellar, barnyard, raspberry, sticky, jam, badly made Lindemans Framboise, watery, badly aged oud bruin (lots of tad watery rotting old wood, drenched in the said beer) mixed with cotton candy, slight acidic, followed by a very musty, cellar, cobweb finish which linger on in the mouth, rotting, garbage, remains of food in kitchen sink, luckily taste is slightly light / aftertaste is not that strong but among the worst, I have ever had, painful, body is both touch watery & highly carbonated, pretty much a failure of a beer, first sour beer I have had which taste like it is spoiled & rotting, like eating spoiled food, this is, only redeemable feature is that the taste is not that strong, this is not a ‘sour’ beer, this was clearly infected in a bad way (past BBF date, at the very least 2010 vintage)
