3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle, from State Line Liquors (Elkton, MD). Pours orange-amber, with minimal carbonation and a thin off-white head. Very tart and oaky aroma, with mild strawberry contributing some balancing sweetness. Flavor is very tart, highlighting the lactic acid and wood, again with only mild strawberry. Dry, tart, nearly mouth-puckering finish. When it comes to sour ales, I’m a glutton for punishment, and this delivers.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours a hazy straw color. No head to speak of. Smells strictly of sour funk. Taste extremely funky taste. Pretty much tastes like an old Lambic. No tart fresh Lambic taste to speak of. A decent Lambic. Very smooth.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle courtesy of avengedpoet. Aroma of sour, lemon, asprin and funk. Flavor is lemony tart, funk, asprin. Nice sour lambic.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
[Sampling at Scheffel.] Soft and sweet sourness of strawberries. Darkred and no head. Nice lambic presence. Refreshing. More soft than expected.
3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours a deep orange with no head what so ever - looks like freshly squeezed apple-cider. The nose is clearly strawberries in a perfumish way. The taste is not that sour and quite singular with the strawberries as the overall- dominating element. The palate is more waterish than oily. The finish is quickly gone... not impressed
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
38cl, sour brew with strawberries, from De Hopduvel Gent, not complex, not balanced, cloudy, nearly no head, nothing special, needs to be revised
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Pours a pink/orange color. Sour aroma, musty, fruity, over fresh strawberries. Very tart flavor. Strawberries, sour fruit, must. Medium, dry, nicely carbonated body. Very enjoyable. The sour fruit goes well with the sweet strawberry.
