La Roja, an artisan amber ale brewed in the Flanders tradition. Deep amber with earthy caramel, spice and sour fruit notes developed through natural barrel aging. Unfiltered, unpasteurized and blended from barrels ranging in age between two and ten months. Truly an ale of distinction.

750 ml bottle. Pours a dark reddish brown with a sizable, maybe two finger, head.Aromas of sour apples, some woodsiness, and more apples. Flavors of tart apples, some funk, bread and wood. Not near as sour as I had hoped, but still, a very good beer. Has a bit of an alcohol burn in the finish, though not much, accompanied by more tartness. Light pumpkin notes seem to sway in and out. Very good!

Bottle at City Beer, San Francisco, 29th March 09, with Phyllis. Reddish mid brown, small line of head. Fruity with a restrained sourness. Lovely malt comes through as it warms. A very satisfying beer.

Bottle from Sam’s, I think. Pours a nice brown/red with a fizzy head. Nose is pretty soft and round, I do get some woody/earthy notes, tart vinegar notes are barely there. Spicy and lactic as well. On the taste, it is super subdued. Very soft on the palate with a nice acidity coming through. I get some stone fruits and malted grain. Very clean for a soun and easy to drink. Oaky notes come through, as well as a bready yeast notes. Will definitely try more. Tasty stuff.

Bottle. Tre Små Rum. Gothenburg. Reddish colour with an off-white head. Sourish and funky, but not like a belgian lambic. Also notes of caramel, oak, vanilla, coconut, lemon and fruit. Very easy drinking and refreshing.

Poured amber with a fluffy white head. Aroma of apples and pepper. Sour apple flavor with a spicy finish. Somewhat dry and light. Their best offering.
