Hermod (1480) - Vantaa, FINLAND - JAN 22, 2012
33cl bottle, BBE 07/2013. Poured clear ugolden with a thin white head. Aroma is vinegar, sour berries and citric notes. Flavor is very similar, along with some woody notes towards finish. Very dry finish. Nice sour ale, reminded me of Rodenbach Grand Cru abit.

hopasaurus_rex (44) - Surprise, Arizona, USA - JAN 21, 2012
Pours a pale golden color. Little to no head. Aromas of vinegar, sour apple and sugar. Sour up front smooths out with a slight tart granny smith/vinegar, slight pale ale flavor. Mouthfeel is pretty normal. Nothing lingers for too long. Overall pretty delicious.

callmemickey (710) - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA - JAN 20, 2012
A: Pale, clear golden colored body. Large fizzy white head. Streaky suds left behind. S: Huge acetic component. Vinegar, apples, a bit of lemon, and white grapes. Not much in the way of funk, must, or oak. T: Lemon and vinegar provide the initial burst of flavor. This is followed by a green apple flavor that is reminiscent of some of the tarter batches of Fantome Saison. I would have liked a bit more "funk" and oak presence here. M: Moderate sourness. Ultimately, however, the finish is a little thin as the sourness overpowers the beer. It’s not that the beer is overwhelmingly sour, it’s just more sour than the flavor and body of this beer can properly support. O: A pleasant, enjoyable sour beer that is available at an accessible price.

riversideAK (4381) - Shoreline, Washington, USA - JAN 16, 2012
Citrusy sour nose, funky, some vinegar notes, basement. Pours golden, nice rocky head. Flavor is rather sour with notes of citrus, brett funk, light vinegar, dry musty dusty basement and solid carbonation. Long citric tart finish.

lefossoyeur (245) - Montreal, Quebec, CANADA - JAN 9, 2012
Clear golden with a bubbly white head. Gentle aromas of wood, mushrooms, funk with some fruitiness to it. Light body, crisp acidic attack, low carbonation, bretty flavors with a lot of red wine barrel-like flavours. Long sour finish, with balsamic notes that are not unlike Rodenbach’s beer impressions. Interesting beer with very good drinkability.

rodenbach99 (1750) - Longueuil, Quebec, CANADA - JAN 8, 2012
Bouteille de 33cl. Bière blonde comme un champs de d’orge. La mousse est blanche et crémeuse. Très odorant comme tout le nez a de beaux arômes de fruits fermentés et de bois. La bouche est bel et bien surette mais elle est surtout équilibré. Elle est courte et le corps est mince. Une belle introduction aux goûts particuliers des bières sures.
