Papsoe (14613), Frederiksberg, Denmark Dec 3, 2008 Bottle 75 cl. Courtesy of KimJohansen. Pours a hazy amber golden with a tiny off-white head. Piquant sweet and sour aroma with a distinct woodiness. Medium body, tart, fruity sour berry notes with some wood and salt. Lightly tart finish. 221108 CanIHave4Beers (831), Des Moines, Iowa, USA Dec 3, 2008 Updated: Aug 7, 2009Pours very cloudy brown with a pretty tan head. The head disappears after a minute. Aroma is a little funky with some floral notes along with some cherries. Flavor is very good, a little bit of cherry flavor prevails through a thin roastedness and a beautiful sour tart flavor. This is slightly sweet but the sour certainly overwhelms this.
The first time tasting this a few years back was probably one of the biggest turning points in my love of beer.
Nephilium (541), Ohio, USA Nov 29, 2008 Wonderful green apple and sour cherry aroma starts this beer off. It pours a bright red, with a dusting of off-white head. Very tart flavor, green apple, sour cherries, and a touch of funk. If you like sour beers... this is one to try. ajm (902), Los Angeles, California, USA Nov 29, 2008 Updated: Mar 15, 2009Tap at the Hop Leaf. Stunning dark color. Aroma of yeast, oak, citrus. Additional flavors that come through are moss and faint hints of vanilla. Reminiscent of Rodenbach Grand Cru. yespr (11613), Copenhagen O, Denmark Nov 28, 2008 75 cL bottle, courtesy of KimJohansen. Pours hazy deep brown with a diminished white head. Dense acetone yet smooth milky aroma. Dry acetone and dark malty flavoured with a light acidic touch. Dry and acidic finish. chicagodri (1021), Chicago, Illinois, USA Nov 27, 2008 FoBAB 08. Pours a hazy brown/red. Aroma of funk and sour cherries. Flavor had the sour cherries, a touch of wine, oak, yeast, and some tart flavors. Great sour. 17thfloor (1402), Chicago, Illinois, USA Nov 20, 2008 Updated: Jan 11, 2009[On tap at Hopleaf] This is a great beer! Dark ruby red with a creamy tan thick head. Aroma of tart and sweet cherries, dusty yeast and barrel. Near perfect flavor, tart and sour without being undrinkable, right on the edge, fantastic balance of barrel, cherries, and acid. The finish is really nice and nonabrasive. Medium body with fine carbonation. Fantastic! [On tap at MapRoom] Still fantastic and ever so quaffable! nhorween (639), Chicago, Illinois, USA Nov 20, 2008 750 ml, #71084856, thanks CMUbeerman. Red pour with a tan head. Oak, vinegar and cherry in the aroma. Rocky flavor, but smooth finish. Tannic. Enjoyable but the astringency of the finish is intense. A more in your face Rodenbach.
