03.17.05 33cl bottle Murky brown pour with medium beige head. Sour bread aromas, cherry. Flavors are plain, a bit sour, sweet and malty, fresh bread. Some raisin and cinnamon. It’s decent enough to drink again but, whatever.

Hazy mahogony pour with a big bubble lasting tan head. Lemony sour, sweet malts and banana bread spiced nose. Fruity, plum and cherry jam. Hops are clean but it is obviously heavier on the malted side. Sweet pears and sour cherry tart. Lots of yeast and brown sugar in the finish.

High creamy tan head on a dark brown body. A strange mixture of sweet and sour, where the sour element is much too obvious to my taste.

Bottled. Thin, murky brown in appearance. Frothy tan head. Big malt aroma with notes of dark fruits and yeast. Sweet, sharp bite to the taste. Raisins and even some cherries. Dry, hoppy aftertaste with a clean finish. A little bit bubbly.

The aroma was malty w/ dark fermented fruit and coriander. The beer poured a cloudy brownish orange color w/ thick head and lacing. The flavor was soury fermented dark fruit, coriander, malts and a slight citrus. The mouthfeel was well-rounded and smooth w/ a light carbonation.

This is not necessarily a great beer, but one I enjoy every time I have it. The nose is very tinny, smelling like rust, but that is only vaguely reflected in the taste. It is very much a Belgian flavour, with the distinct yeastiness inherent in many Belgians. It has a good malty character that I like, but I have to concede little else really distinctive.
