Pours a clear dull yellow with a sizable egg-white head. Very sour aroma, cider-like. Flavour is dry and vinous, again, more cider than beer. Body is thin with subtle carb. What can I say... sours are not really my thing. Interesting to try, though.

Sep 5, 2008 The pour reveals a clear golden color with a medium white head, it leaves nice lacing on the glass. The aroma reminds me at first of a good, dry, white wine, there’s somme apples too with wood and sourness, it feels very promising. The flavor deliver the promises with subtlelty, the wood, sourness, apples and white wine feeling are there, but they exist in unity, not as seperate elements. The mouthfeel is very pleasant and comfortable, medium thickness and creamy texture combine with gently prickling, lively carbonation. I like the fact that this sour ale doesn’t try to blow your taste buds off, it offers its complexity with gentleness and harmony.

Aug 28, 2008 Golden color with a thick, fluffy white head. Yeasty Belgian nose, very fruity. Flavor is tart and similar to a Flanders Red. Very crisp. Lots of bittersweet fruit character. Very good.

Aug 27, 2008 Bottle at Smokeless Joe, July 2008. Taste is quite sour and tart with a hint of cherry and a long, sour finish. This is much more sour than Oud Brun. And much better.

Aug 17, 2008 Pours bright gold into a snifter. Bright white head leaves sheet lacing as it recedes to skim surface. Sour citrus aromas. Full sour fruit. Puckering yet crisp.
