omhper (10728), Stockholm, Sweden Aug 25, 2005 Bottled at RBESG. Cloudy dark brown. Flowery, yeasty, oaky aroma. Sweet with soft, gentle mouthfeel and some banana. The oak adds to complexity, but does not overpower the subtle flavours. Lightly salti finish. Subtle and very complex, not at all what I expected, but a beer that grew on me with each sip. rickgordon (3073), Göteborg, Sweden Sep 7, 2006 [Bottled RBESG 2006]
Thanks to Knut Albert for bringing this delicasy to Göteborg!
Murky yellow colour. Aroma is loaded with this and that: herbs, cheese, berries, almond paste. Wonderfully sourish, yet pleasantly and laid back so to speak. Flavour is apple cake with a smooth mouthfeel, with sparkling caramel notes. Fluffy mouthfeel. Very complex. I prefer this mild version, it seemed to be more complex than the sour version. Dushata (8), Sofia, Bulgaria does not count Aug 15, 2005 A muddy reddy brown coloured beer which poured with no head. The aroma has some background fruit and some typical Flemish Sour woodiness. The taste was very clean and oaky with good woody cherry fruit notes. Very tasty and a real good take on a Flemish Sour, as usual the musty characters dominate but in a very drinkable fashion. I liked this although the aroma was lacking somewhat.
rocfort (7), Rome, Italy does not count Sep 19, 2005 Sweet malty and floral, lavender tones with plenty of woodiness but no obvious sourness. Medium body is lightly warming with moderate but soft carbonation. Very enjoyable. pivo (2488), Germany Dec 12, 2005 Huge nose - cherry aromas, yeast - yum. Murky brown color, with a cream clingy head. Soft cookie-like malt, with hints of toffee and a light vinegar tinge. Sourish end. Medium body. Just a high quality beer. Sophisticated. Not too aggressive, but great balance.
