Style: Sour Ale
Oudenaarde, Belgium

Bottle. Aroma of berries, malt and yeast. Brown colour with beige head. Sweet fruity flavour, raspberries and raisins. slightly sour in the end. Mild due to low to moderate carbonation.

bottle at ølbaren, served very cold i guess 5celc. dark cloudy brown, small offwhite head .sour aroma, bretty and fruity aroma. faint cereral notes and herbs. flavor is fruity, brett, berries, dark fruits, raisins. palate is bubbly and grows in your mouth.

Bottle at the Where the Wild Beers are event. Clear brown, thin white head. Caramel and prune. Sweet! Cloying in fact. Lots of caramel, nearly rotten plum and prune. Finishes sweet and lingering, with a lot of cough syrup on it.

At a tasting, many thanks Shahar, murky light brown with reddish taints, aroma of moss like a very old wine cellar, with notes of apples. wood, and maple. Strong and dominant sourness balanced perfectly by a dried fruits sweetness. very long sour aftertaste which mellows in time. Excellent brew.

Thanks Shachar for sharing this one, hazy deep bronze with a nice tan head, aroma of barnyard, humid air, kinky aroma balanced with nice flowers and vinous tones, flavor is complex, soil, dampness, dry fruits, grapes, zesty on the tongue with some nice acids and gentle bitter finish. Great stuff

750mL bottle (I think that was the size) at our KW group tasting, thanks to Jan Primus! 2006 vintage. It poured a murky burgundy with a lot of yeasty floaties. The aroma is nice and complex, berries, chocolate, sour cherry, soy, vanilla, yeast, all in one massive clusterf*** in the nose. Flavour has all the same elements but with a hugely astringent finish to balance it out, which is a major benefit. Sour cherry features most prominently, with the yeast. Alcohol is not at all noticable. I like clumps of stuff in beer sometimes and this one satisfies that want. Very nice beer and super refined after all the aging.

bottle, dark reddish/brown colour, fruity smell. Taste: a mix between sour, sweet and fruity. Nice balanced beer, a bit like a rodenbach.

Bottle sample at Noogfest High 5. Poured brown with no head. Aromas of tart fruits and cellar mustiness. The flavor sweet fruit and wood. Medium body.
