bottle. Certainly not my favorite style but even with trying to be somewhat open minded, it is hard to find anything good to say about this brew. Deep brown with amber hues short white head. Every bit as sour as expected and more. I have a hard time coming up with a description of the taste because i typically shy away of anything that offensive. Not very good at all.

Aug 25, 2008 Bottle. Copper brown color. Caramel and apple syrup and cherry juice in the aroma and flavor. Just a touch of sourness. Sweetish and fairly thin, with a hint of iron in the aftertaste. Diluted, but still tasty Rodenbach clone.

Aug 7, 2008 25 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden deep amber with a lacing tan head. Aroma is citric and fruity, mild yeasty too. Flavour starts mild sweet and fruity. Light wooden note to a dry caramel malt base. Somewhat watery finish.

Aug 5, 2008 On tap at Hamiltons, poured in a Chimay glass that killed the aroma. Transferred into my tulip glass and this sour cxame alive. Great tart cherry nose that carriewd into nthe flavor. A bit too sweet for a sour, and a bit lacking in complexity. It did have the trademark sour finish of nuttiness and wood. Thanks to Naven for this beer!

Jul 22, 2008 Clear & shiny auburn color, fluffy off-white head. Metallic sour nose with a hint of cherry. The flavors were novel and of cherry cream soda. The mouthfeel was weak and the flavors were thin...but at least it was clean enough not to taste grainy. However, cleanness wasn’t exactly its strong point eiher as there were tin & iron notes as well as a finish along the lines of aspartame.

Jul 21, 2008 250ml bottle. (Traveller’s, Tallinn)
Deep red, a bit fizzy. Sweet baked beans aroma. Slightly watery palate, sweet and again a bit fizzy. Mellow sourness, and some hint of baked beans in the taste. Aroma also has some gentle fruit hints. Leaves a gentle malt finish, and a bit of sourness. Altogether very tasty, but lacking either a punch or a bite.
