Bottled. Very very dark red (almost black) with nice curtains. Theis’ bike glue again - sour/sweet with notes of berries, syrup and spices. Pretty good but a bit too onesided and sweet.

Light pear cherry minty aroma,you can smell the tartness in there,aroma takes on a cherry sucker flavor, in the taste you get the tartness and sourness you expect, sour cherry skins and vanilla dominating, flavor disappears very quickly and leaves you with only the sour bacteria on your tongue a wonderful early evening taster

Bottle. Head small creamy and off-white like which quickly diminished. Fair lacing to be found. Light cloudy particles and a golden brown colour. Aroma was sweat, barnyard, graph, apple, vinegar. Medium bodied with a soft carbonation. Flavour was light sweet and moderated acidic. Nice fresh finish that that had hints of acidic fruit and light tart metallic.

Bottle. Pours a clear dark amber color with an off-white head. Sweet suggary fruity aroma with some sour hints. Sweet slightly malty and tart flavor. Fruity malty finish with some hints of wood in the aftertaste.

This Flemish sour ale is in my opinion not the best in its kind. It has a beautifully dark red body, with a nice white pearly head. It tasted the typical sourness, but I missed a bit the finish, which was too empty for a flemish sour ale.

Pours beautifully, with a dark, red body and large head. Has a lovely, bitter smell, almost like sake!! The taste is not a delicious as expected. A tad bitter, with a sweetish finish, although nothing truly remarkable
