3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20 Appearance: medium clear reddish brown, with a short, tan head and little lacing or legs. Aroma: apple cider vinegar, with notes of raspberry and raisin, some white wine (?) or sour milk. Taste: tart cherry, a sour lactic tang, and sweet caramel malts, with a healthy dose of funk. Finish: finishes woody, dry, and a little pucker-y. Notes: Only my second or third sour, and had it only a couple days after the Rodenbach Grand Cru, which was clearly superior. This seemed rough around the edges by comparison. Batch #11 from 2009, bottle 132. From the Rare Beer Club.
