2006 bottling, capped not corked. Pours a murky mahogany body with no head and no lacing. Very lifeless appearance. Aroma is promising, with notes of cherry skins, vinegar, wet oak logs, and wool sweater. Taste is insipid. No carbonation at all. Tannic, fermented apple cider, some tart cherry, and wet wood. Very disappointing, especially at $16 a bottle. I love Flanders Red Ales but something went ghastly wrong here.

Aug 18, 2008 A mild sour ale with subtle flavors of vinegar, sweet fruit, and oak. Thin and watery. There are more flavorful offerings out there, and this one did not live up to its price tag (15$).

Aug 16, 2008 Brown bodied with a tan head. Sour aroma, lemons come through, and a note of caramel. The flavor is sour, tart, and lightly bitter toward the end.

Aug 14, 2008 2006 bottle. Pours garnet with a very small white head. Vinegary, somewhat grapey aroma with oak undertones. Rich on the palate, with brett, almond, some vinous berry flavors, and oak. Too much oak on the finish kills the thing. Before it all falls apart, though, it’s great.
