Hermod (1480) - Vantaa, FINLAND - JAN 15, 2012
33cl bottle, BBE 07/2013. Poured amber color with a creamy, lasting white head. Caramelly, fruity, yeasty aroma, slight sourness. Flavor is fruity, sugary and with dark fruits. Mouthdrying finish. Not very sour this one.

hophead21112 (195) - Louisville (LEWISville), Colorado, USA - JAN 13, 2012
Reddish copper pour with an off-white head. Good retention. Looks delicious. Fruity on the nose - mostly apple and pear, light vinegar, slightly metallic. Medium body, light carbonation, no alcohol warmth. Starts off tart and quickly transitions to sweet and finishes pretty clean. Nothing spectacular, but a great session beer.

jcweaver (367) - VA Beach, Virginia, USA - JAN 9, 2012
Bottle. Pours a dark reddish-brown with a small beige head. Slightly sour aroma with notes of cherry/raspberry, yeast, wood, sherry and a hint of chocolate. Great moderately sour taste with cherry, chocolate, wood and a hint of vanilla. Slightly more sour towards the finish with a bit of hops.

timfoolery (595) - California, USA - JAN 9, 2012
Taster at DBS. The aroma was typical of a light sour, but the taste was lacking what I’m used to in a sour. No pronounced sour pucker, and I want too impressed with the confluence of flavor. Eh. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Botle, pours deep chestnut w/ big foamy head, aroma is heavy balsamic w/ some vanilla, light to medium-bodied w/ moderate acetic throughout, finishes slightly metallic, pretty solid

imdownthepub (7171) - Banbury, Oxfordshire, ENGLAND - DEC 29, 2011
Bottled, 330ml at The Anchor, Birmingham. Mahogany with cream head. Sharp and tangy with a sweet fruity aside note. Fullish on the palate, there is a tartness that gives it a twangy edge. Pretty decent.

Light sour with some oak dour comes through more the more you drink pitched dregs into starter ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Zymurgeist2 (396) - San Francisco, California, USA - DEC 21, 2011
Brown with garnet highlights. Disjointed aroma. Some dried fruit on the palate, but not much going on for a west Flanders. Slight sour throughout is too subtle for style. Sweet malt is in the background.
