Pours orange color with small head. Taste is fruity, some caramel, too sweet for me. Definitely not my style of beer.

Date Rated: Feb. 3, 2013... Glassware: Lindemans flute... Occasion: Super Bowl Sunday--lose Baltimore!... Appearance: dark copper body with a bright, white, thin hazy head; sediment flecks dance amidst fervent effervescence... Aroma: flat, funky, punchy pungency; dryish as a wine, buts its wheat keeps the profile in the beer realm... Palate: medium-bodied and fizzy; willpower must be invoked to keep from slamming the flute’s contents... Taste: sour and tart, as expected--not too puckerish; fruity and rewarding in its full flavor profile... Overall: Part Super Bowl high, part beer-buying-binge-booty mood, my state of mind may have something to do with enjoying this beer and its style, which I haven’t sprung for in a while; at $6 a bottle, pricey but provides a worthwhile experience...

Bottle->flute. Orange/brown with quickly dissipating offehite head. Sweet fruit, with some sour grapes. More sweet than sour. A "just once" beer for me.

bottle, 330ml i think. poured a cherry reddish brown colour with very big head that didn’t last too long. aroma of raspberries and other fruits with caramel and raisins present too. taste was very good. at first, it is extremely sour - fizzy throughout - with a full mouth feel. this settles slightly to become a little sweet. very dry. nice.

25 cl bottle. Poors an brown/orange transparent with a small creamy head. Looks like apple cider. Taste is fruity, apple, grapes, then it feels like vinegar with a sour ending. Really interesting flavour, different from other beers, altought I would not drink it so often. Worth a try.

Dark orange colour with a beige head. Aroma is sweet, sugar, dust, hop. Flavour is sweet, sugar, sourness

375ml bottle. Clear reddish golden copper colour with small to average, firm, frothy, half-way lasting, moderately lacing, off-white head. Fruity and minimally sourish aroma, hints of raspberry and other red berries with an minimally artificial touch of sherbet, hints of yeast and mustard prickling in the nose. Taste is initially clearly separated into a sweet fruity part with hints of raspberry and other red berries, and a distinct sourish counterweight; later more integrated with hints of grapes, raspberry vinegar, cocktail sauce, sweet mustard.

Ambrée un rien trouble, pétillance aussi fine que son col. Dominance aigre-douce, goût de cidre de pommes légèrement caramélisées, notes de citron, raisins et cerises, mini-amertume en arrière-bouche, un rien trop sucrée.

Bottle at home. Pours clear golden brown with big white head which quickly goes. Aromas of sugar and cider, maybe white grapes. Tastes sweet and sour, with a sticky texture and long finish. Good, but not a beer I’d rush to get again.

Deep red-amber in colour. Aroma was of sugar, cherries, some caramel. Flavour was sour at first, then sweet, with some caramel and sugar. Finishes with a pleasant sweetness.
