750ml bottle (Snow@ChrisO)
Heady aroma. Acidic taste. No balance. Fake fake fake fake sour ("throw in a brett cube" style) - and too vinegary. Nothing authentic about this sour at all - no similarity to anything I’ve ever had from the low countries. These guys should apologise to Rodenbach for associating themselves with them. Anna liked it better, but she should get her own account.

The taste is initially tart, lemon, Granny Smith apple, sour gooseberry, tart grape, light balsamic vinegar and wood with a dry, lightly tart finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Flavoursome and really well balanced. Very drinkable.

750 ml bottle to oversized snifter (shared with the Mrs.; thanks douglas88). Looks decent; a hazy amber with no real carbonation or lacing. Smells solid; Semi-sweet, oaky, and funky with unoffensive notes of vinegar. Tastes like it smells with an average mouthfeel. Good, not great; would definitely benefit from some carbonation.
