3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Thanks for sharing, Nick. Pours a hazy golden color with a white head. Coffee aroma is not all that pronounced (thankfully). A bit of sweet malt and caramel, but still decently tart, some vinegar and lemon. The coffee is also subdued on the palate. Some citrus notes, tart lemon, a hint of vinegar, green apple, and a light sweetness. Really quite strange, but not as bad as I anticipated.

[375ml bottle, courtesy of cgarvieuk] Hazy gold, thin lacing. Strange sour coffee aroma. Weird. Fertiliser and meat. Really odd flavour too. Thin. Tastes very old. Balsamic vinegar. A Marmite beer [06072012]
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle @ Uncle Chris’ house in Fürth. This is my second time trying the beer during my European tour and I still have another bottle to bring home to friends. Cloudy, yellow orange appearance with a dissipating, off-white head. Fairly cheesy, tangy lactic, lemon citrusy, light toasty coffee aroma. Slightly rough mouth feel from the coffee. The coffee adds a very interesting element to an otherwise interesting lambic. There’s acidity from the coffee in addition to the lambic beer. Toasty, light chocolate, mildly roasty coffee, tart and tangy lemon, somewhat sour, a touch chewy, lightly lactic flavor with some coffee grounds on the finish. Really an interesting idea that was overall pretty decent. I’d drink it again- it’s kind of a fun beer to taste. A special thanks to Pinball for grabbing me an extra bottle and Christian/Dedollewaitor for sharing at the RBESG!

RBESG 2012 GT. Murky golden body. Nice espresso aroma, quite likable, and the coffee notes dominate the taste as well, mixing more or less ok with the background acidity. Quite an interesting experiment in any case!

Golden hazy ale, small head. Super sour vinegar taste. Not much more. Light fruit but the sourness again. Can’t get any coffee. No don’t like this, only sour. No complexity.

Poured from a bottle. Very fizzy with a short head that dissipates quickly. Initial smells are typical of a sour at first, then start smelling the coffee underneath. First sip is nuts. Dryness of the coffee flavor really sticks in the aftertaste and is pretty acidic. Never had anything like it, to be quite honest. Glad I tried it, not sure if I'd go after it again, though.
