Pours red brown with medium head. Sour aroma with woody notes, tart and overripe fruits. Flavor is sweet and sour with notes of wood, overripe fruits and malt.

Looks like a watered down Pepsi...smells like sweet vinegar and fermented apples....small bubbles and creamy, reminds me of a Moscato d’Asti with apple cider....small head, tan...sweet on the front, sour on the rear

(Bottle, Stockholm Beer Festival, 22 Sep 2007) Dark reddish brown colour with firm pale brown head. Malty, slightly sourish nose with notes of wood, chocolate and black-currant. Malty, lactic taste with black-currant, dark fruit, cherries, hints of smoke and a bitter-sweet finish. Balanced and nice flemish sour.

Bottle: Poured reddish amber with a off white color head. Aroma is sour fruit, but if you continue to breathe past you will identify the spice hops and malt. The taste is a sweet metalic, fruit, and malt blend not as acidic as some flemish sours which suprised me. Glad I picked this one up because its just another case of giving a style another chance!

Quite dark, but under halogen it has a slightly hazy beautiful reddish mahogany color. The off-white head quickly flattened, leaving lace tatters. A fresh cherry aroma. Arguably a sour note. Also arguably sweetness as the glass approaches the lips. Thin to medium bodied. Mouth is full of oak and non-sweet cherry all at once, along with a bit of spice. Stunning. An astringent woody bite arises in the finish, along with a little bitter. Tart yes, sour not all that much. The extended lagering must smooth it out.

Now that’s an aroma! Plainly acetic, it smells like a weak balsamic vinegar, although there’s also a touch of apple cider vinegar, also lightly oaky, I wanna say there’s some fruit in there but I can’t really isolate it, perhaps plum. Purply brown color, minimal head and effervescence. Weird, it tastes a touch acetic, with a vinous note that kinda reminds me of grape soda, or wine made from concord grapes. Actually it reminds me of the sangria soda - yes thats it, it has the combination of mild tartness, astringency/tannins, and carbonation of the sangria grape sodas sold around here in latin-american groceries. I guess its a good thing I like those! There’s a lingering oakiness in the finish, alongwith a lip smacking sugary sweetness. Not the most complex, nor sour, flemish sour ale, but it is light and easy drinking.

A dark clear brown ale with a thick light moka head. A pleasant cherry aroma, with dark balsam vinegar concentrate, and sangria. In mouth, a sweetish drink, with loads of cherries and gapes, but not as sour and puckering as I expected. Thin for the style. I prefer my Rodenbach Grand Cru! Bieropholie private import, late 2005. BB 13-10-06.

bottle - Pours up a clear, dark reddish-brown with a thin head. There’s a pleasantly tart, fruity aroma. The flavor initially struck me as rather sweet with lots of cherries, then the sweetness was soon join by mildly tart tones including apples. There’s also a bit of spice in there. Medium bodied with a tart finish, this is a very tasty sour ale.

Pours a dark brown, almost garnet color with a diminishing, light brown head. Sour apples, rotting fruit aroma tempered by some sweetness. Tart start with a building spicy sweetness towards the finish. Smooth, quite nice.
