| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Nov 23, 2007 Green bottle, corked (2006) and caged. Aroma acidic with gueuze notes, wild and slightly metallic. Light fruit and stronger yeast. Pours a deep brown that nears opaque with a rocky, soapy beige head. Very sweet taste, sugary with good, firm carbonation, some interesting angular fruitiness, and controlled sourness and acidity. If not for the initially cloying sugariness, this would be much more drinkable, much more so than other sours. Some strawberry-rhubarb. Underlying maltiness shows promise, but it’s not really allowed to come out an play. Alcohol is hidden. Full body. Aftertaste is somewhat bready. Rich dessert beer - I like this a lot! sinkas (182), Perth/Fremantle, Australia
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Nov 19, 2007 A little wary of sour ale, I was so overtly astonished by the balance of this one, witht its grunty malt backbone and odd cherry-like tartness, I had to check it wasnt the kreik. truly luxurious and delightful. scrizzz (1265), kirkland, Washington, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 17, 2007 2006. pours dark murky brown with varying chunks of suspended sediment and a thin but maintained head. smells of vinegar, cherries, dust and oak. incredibly smooth and mellow for its youth with such rich and expressive berry flavors, im surprised anyone’d want to add anything. raspberry and cherry all over the place. really sweet jfenglish (203), Chicago, Illinois, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Nov 13, 2007 12 oz corked bottle. Date on cork was 2005. A bit of a sloppy pour by me, got a lot of yeast in the glass but oh well. Caramel brown color with a bit of red, minimal head goes away quickly. Aroma is tangy, sweet, plums, sugar. Hint of a quad flavor at first, with sweet brown sugar and raisin. Becomes quite tart with cherry and lemon weiss notes- "fruity acidity." Like 2 different beers in one! Complex and satisfying.
