UPDATED: JUN 1, 2020 330ml bottle from Beers of Europe, King’s Lynn and drunk on 22/06/2009. A lighter Flemish red, and one I wasn’t as keen on. Not bad at all, but I found it to be a tad too acidic, without the balance.

UPDATED: NOV 27, 2019 25 cl fles. Helder amberkleurig bier met wand klevende witte schuimkraag. Geur: mout, granen, klein zuurtje, wat kandij, vleugje hout. Smaak: zoetzuur, kandij, ietwat fruitig, appel. Medium koolzuurprikkel. Lijkt wel een broertje van Duchesse De Bourgogne.

UPDATED: FEB 4, 2019 Bottle from Willems. Pours murky reddish brown. Typical (tasty) verhaeghe Flemish red aroma and taste, well balanced with a distinct butterscotch sweetness. Very sweet, probably would have liked it more if it was more fruity or even candy sugary but I like it. Too sweet to compare it to wine though, I'm sorry Mr. Timmermans...

Bottle 0.33ll at Butcher's tears, Amsterdam, The Netherlands. 06.10.2018. Pour it clear dark red color with small pink head. Aroma red fruits, touch of vinegar. Taste light sweet at the beginning, sour in the middle, acidic, balsamico, sweet and sour finish as well, little bit thin, slick feel, lively.

Amberroodlkeurig bier. Verrassend lekker indien fris gedronken. Net iets te zoet, maar voor de rest een mooie volle, droge smaak. Mooie aciditeit, lekker romig aroma. Smaken van appel, cider, balsamico azijn. Aangename verrassing.

25cl as Gummarus Feesten 2015. Pours amber, thin off-white head. Aroma is woody, a touch vinous, sweet. Taste has a fair sweetness to it, lightly sour, lightly balsamic with a soft acetic linger, not particularly sharp or woody, some caramel. Ok, but a bit sweet and not really grabbing me.

F: thin, egg-white, not long lasting. C: red to coppery, clear. A: dark berries, vinegar, red vine, grapes, hint of Brett. T: red berries, hint of vinegar, foeder, balsamic, caramel lactic tones with subtle spicy, medium body, low to medium carbonation, quite good, 0,25l bottle from Bierhalle Deconinck.

Sampled from bottle at deanso’s. Bottle courtesy of deanso. Clear pale amber with thin off white head. Sweet malts, apple vinegar, sugar, woodglue, dusty cardboard. My favorite aromas nudge nudge wink wink. Over mesium sour compensated by shitload of sugary sweetness. Medium body, sparse carbonation and plastic finish.

Bottle shared thanks to deanso. Clear amber with off white head. Green apple, apple vinegar, light acetone, lots of sugar, some stale cardboard. Medium sweet and sour. Medium bodied. Basically massive apple vinegar with sugar.

Gummarus Feesten 2015 edition, 25 cl bottle, drank at In St Gummarus, Lier. Pours dark amber, persistent tan head. Aroma is intense: mustard, honey, Modena balsamic vinegar, dark fruit, tobacco, chili pepper. Strange, complex and wild. Taste is dry, very dry. Thin, fizzy and sour. Long persistence with hints of leather and, again balsamic vinegar. Strange and rich.
