At GBBF 2009. Now that is proper sour. Great full on sourness. Bit of vinegar, but proper sour. Excellent. Salt and vinegar crisps on the flavour.

On tap at White Horse Parson’s Green. Excellent old ale. Sour, good fruit and a hint of sourness on the finish. Most people were pleasantly surprised by this and impressed.

Bottle 25 cl. Courtesy of fonefan. Pours a clear warm red with a pink head. Very intense raspberry aroma - sweet yet a little tart. Medium body, tart and intense raspberry flavours. I don’t really pick up the artificial sweeteners, luckily. Quite fresh with the tartness. 041009

12oz pour at Pizza Paradiso in Dupont Circle, Washington D.C. Pours a slightly translucent purple, mahogany amber with a very very thin, ringing white head. The aroma is my only complaint about this beer. At first the nose has very little, as it warms some tart berry aromas come out, cherry and cranberry mostly, red grapes, a little funk, a little hay, a little bit of citrus fruit. Flavor is spot on for a sour: bitter from citrus fruits, tart from the acid, strong lactic acid flavor, sweet ripe fruits, slight funk, toasted grain, a little splash of wood. Finish is tart, bitter, sweet and dry. I liked Ommegang Rouge better based mostly on the aroma but the flavors were also more developed. This was very drinkable though, something you could drink many of.

250ml Bottle - Red/orange. Sweet aroma with passion fruit and peach. Very sweet taste with passion fruit standing out. Rather sickly and hard to take seriously.

Bottle, 5.5%. Sourish aroma, slightly metallic but not unpleasant. Clear brown colour. Small off-white head. The flavour is OK citric, has some fruity citrus. Sweetish at first, but slightly dry in the finish.
