This is yet again another style that is just not for me. I don’t know if the bottle I bought was ancient but I found this way to dry and almost tasteless. I poured it down the drain after a couple sips. I may re-rate this in time.....probably not though.

Bottle. Dark brown with thin tan head. Sweetish caramel-malty nose with very faint tart-fruit edge. Fairly sweet beer, lightly bitter, again a very subtle vinous tartness. Lively carbonation, a bit dry in the finish. Pretty flabby stuff, not much oomph.

A little lactic in the aroma. This is okay at best. Very smooth and light overall. Not nearly as sour as I expected. A bit of lactic.

(330 ml bottle from Bootleggers, part of a Petrus sampler pack) Something’s amiss...Pours very dark tobacco brown with about two fingers of sturdy tan head that recede to a thin lasting cap. Aroma surprisingly very muted, maybe some caramel malt sweetness but really not much. Mouthfeel nice and soft, quite smooth. Nice big weepy rings and curtains of lacing. Flavor is very washed out. Main element is a lightly fizzy sourness which could mean infection, but even beyond that I’m not picking out much for flavor, maybe some light chocolate nuttiness but it is faint. Surprising.

Hazy copper brown, moderate white head. Sour aroma with sugary undertones. Sweet malt with caramel becoming evident as one’s palate adjusts to the dominant tartness and acidity. Quite refreshing.

Pours a nice brown with a small off white head. Aroma of fruits, wood, malt, sourness. Flavor is sour fruits, with a sweetness to balance it out. Pretty decent brew.
