2.7 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20Appear: light red (like a blush wine) with a small white head that doesn’t persist
Aroma: Very much like a red wine (tannins), dry cherry, no hops or malt character
Flavor: How a barley-based wine cooler would taste. Very much red wine character with noticeable tannins and only subtle background malt character
Mouthfeel: Light body with medium/light carbonation. Dry finish and a tannin-like astrigency persists
Its very hard to judge this beer because their is no style that cooresponds to it. If they were trying to make something like a barley-based wine cooler ... damn they nailed it. Fruity (cherry), tannins from wine and light/dry so is refreshing on a hot day.

3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours cloudy rose red with thin head. Cantillon-like aroma - sour, plasticy, sour cherries. Dry and tart, crabapples. Tart and sour finish. Is this beer? Not in the traditional sense but more lambic than fruit beer.

How to make a Breughel beer palatable? Blend it with wine, of course. Lovely pink-red colour. Pleasant winey aroma is perhaps a bit mild. Tart, with sweet fruitiness. Seems fairly clean. A different sort of brew, certainly refreshing if not my everyday taste.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
Draft at brasserie vandoren. The hue is deep ruby, and the little bubbles give the illusion the beer is a big raspberry. Blush pink head. Aroma is musty and interesting, with a distinct vinous character. The palate is light and off dry. Would be a 1 or 2 on the sweetness scale if it were a wine. Nice fruity tartness too, with lots of berry character. Light and refreshing.

UPDATED: AUG 15, 2011 Un grand verre de bile extra tannin. Je veux pas trop basher mais c’est pas vraiment buvable. Au suivant.
1.1 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 2/20
UPDATED: JUL 4, 2010 ...That was probably worst than "Rêves de Vigne", which tells a lot.
I wondered, back in the days, if it would have been better if I would have drunk it at a wine-like temperature...
But I finally gave up and flushed the whole stuff.

Cherry colour with a thin white lace, Thin metallic aroma and cherry. Very refreshing ale. Hints of cherries, raspberries and mixed fruit in the flavour. Very subtle. Thin body. Would like a bit more body. Gets better as it warms.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Looks just like a blush wine. Awful almost carcinogenic aroma. Mouldy cheese cloth, stinky and baaaaaaaaaaaad. Is this a gueuze? Filthy dirty cardboard, apple, odd berries a bit of candy when warmer. I’m going to consider this as a gueuze. Interesting taste I guess: berries, club soda, yeast, horse blankey, sour cherries, bark (goes surprisingly good with wasabi peas)... ick. It has an odd fizz and the thinnest thick ever. Tart, very tart thoughout. I seems that I really enjoyed this beer and then really hated it and then repeat. Long sour blanket finish. It’s legacy is terrible ghastly breath.

Bouteille 500ml. De couleur rouge et voilée. Nez de fruits aigres (cerises sûres, notes de raisins), léger de sucre avec des notes de grains de malt. Mince en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et une texture aqueuse et aux notes vineuses. Goût fruité assez aigre (cerises sûres, léger de raisins rouges) avec quelques notes de levures sauvages lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute des notes de grains de malt sucrés puis en finale l’on retrouve des notes herbeuses (herbes mouillées) ainsi que des notes vineuses avec des traces d’alcool. Post-goût moyen-court, légèrement aigre de fruits (moût de raisins vineux, traces de moût de cerises).
