This is a cross between a sour red ale and a kriek. The flavor has a slighly sour fruity cherry flavor with a hint of smokiness. Extremely well rounded balanced beer that has a exceptional delicate vinous aroma and taste. The wine like character and deep reddish brown color could trick an amateur into thinking that this is a poorman’s wine concoction. This has all the chrarcteristics I enjoy in a beer and believe it would go great with and red meat entree.

het donkerbruine succesbier van brij Strubbe heeft een lichte fruitige smaak waarin ook de rijpherid van de foeders merkbaar zijn. Het laat zich gemakkelijk verleiden tot een glas meer en wordt beter met de wachttijd (deze die nu proefde was al 2 jaar oud, dus belegen

Bottle. Deep rusty brown color, billowing tan head with moderate retention. Aroma is apple cider vinegar. Taste is sweet malt, soft but pronounced sourness, bitter hop finish. The malt and sourness blend together extremely well, but the finish kills the wonderfulness that preceeded it. A wonderful beer to savor in your mouth.

Bottle beautyfull red brown color, sour flavors in the nose along with some chocolate. In the mouth it is just outstanding, lactic tart, creamy chocolate, a nice wood impression in the back, lots of sour cheeries, and a bunch of delicous red wine in total harmonie with each other. Finish is slighlty tart and so wunderbar cream chocolaty and a litle chalky. Freaking good!

The missing link between Duchesse de Borgogne and Rochefort 10... not necessarily a sum of those two, but worth trying!

One of the best Strubbe beers. Good balance of sweet and sour. Full body and good lasting taste. Not too much alcohol, which makes it go down easily. Nice dark red colour, not too frothy. Makes a good aperitif.

Deep dark burgundy color. Fruity cherry aroma with touches of blackberry. Fairly sour with a good tart whack and a berrylike fruit rounding it out. Clean finish. Slightly vinous with a mild oakiness as a complement. All around really nice. I’m happy with this.
