thewolf (9885) - Kolding, DENMARK - MAY 9, 2013
Bottle, bought @ De Hopduvel, Gent.
Pours light hazy amber with a large, frothy, white head. Good duration. Lovely aroma, brett, strawberries, caramel, mild apple. Medium to high carbonation, fine and very dry mouthfeel. Flavour has good funk, almost metallic dry, quite a bit of apple. Lingering, quite dry mouthfeel.

Hazy amber, fast disappearing head. Nose is passion fruit, lychees, lemon and pineapple. Medium body, high carbon. Taste is bitter. Palate rather bitter lemon, grapefruits, medical. Finish is bitter and dry. B@H

Doesnt taste really like a wild ale. Nice aromas but a bit boring concerning taste. Malty with a faint sour hint.

Bart (2919) - Brussels, BELGIUM - SEP 30, 2012
33cl Bottle @ Gents Bierfestival. Light brown to dark amber coloured beer with some light carbonation and a small off white head. Nice fruity hoppy balanced aroma with a short herby hoppy hint. Medium to full palate. Finish is hoppy bitter sweet fruity with a longer bitter ending. Very nice. Though this is not sour/wild Ale in my opinion.

Martinus (1795) - Nijmegen, NETHERLANDS - SEP 4, 2012
Reddish brown colour, beige head. Floral aroma, candy sugar, citrus, red berries, marmelade and herbs. Light but very sweet flavour. Finish light, some candy and sweets.
The nose is promissing, but the rest is lagging behind, unfortunately.
(From 33cL bottle @ GBF3, Gent)

altonbrownd (4210) - Brussels, BELGIUM - AUG 19, 2012
Bottle from Beer Planet. Nice Mber body with top head. Inviting. Nose is hoppy, sweet and only a tad sour. Taste also quite hoppy w little sourness. Prickly texture. Warms and hams up in the finish. Strange brew but enjoyable.

77ships (2162) - Antwerpen, BELGIUM - AUG 18, 2012
33 cl, bottle sampled @ GBF 2012 // foxy amber, light tanned / white head // nose is plain sweet, cranberries, strawberries,... fruity, herbs // taste is sweet, you get a touch of that sour malt typical of an old bruin but even that is sweet here, some herbs, sweet berries, touch sweet lemon, dull Belgian yeast, adding more offence, it is actually a bit bitter in the finish, not only is this not sour it is dull as well // carb. is too high // boring sweetish Belgian Ale

JorisPPattyn (7311) - Antwerpen, BELGIUM - AUG 10, 2012
Huge, fluffy cream-coloured head over foxy-amber beer. Nice, appetizing, tantalizing nose of wild herbs and wild fruit; preserved orangepeel; but also very nice, near pungently aromatic hops. Tart, light-bitterish caramel, but few real flavours. Balanced, certainly for a sour ale, but not really remarkable. Hops all but disappeared in the taste. Medium bodied, quite slick, refreshing. Super nose, but from there it dwindles towards rather lame.

witterank (11) - BELGIUM - APR 19, 2012
Brewed with oak chips. Dark amber, dry and bitter. Not sweet at all. Subtle sour- and sturdyness. 5,8 % alc.vol. Just fine!

sebletitje (5420) - Enghien, BELGIUM - APR 6, 2012
33cl bottle, a sour? initial thought were on a hoppy Belgian-ipa with hints of wild yeast. Ambrée, col épais beige collant au verre. Arôme de renfermé, cône de houblon avec un léger bouquet sûre qui s’en ressent vraiment dans la mousse. En bouche, pas vraiment d’indice de levure sauvage, profile houblonné ressort vraiment avec en retrait un malt grillé/pâle, fini sec avec une pointe sûre. Limite allant sur le pin/forêt sur une touche de fruité houblonné Pas convaincu du style, peut-être ma bouteille, la bière n’en demeure néanmoins bien agréable.
