On tap at beachwood BBQ. I had the grand cru before and so this beer is suffering a little from the younger brother syndrome. It is much less aggressive in both flavour and sourness than the grand cru, but still is delicious and refreshing. Just not as huge.

In bottiglia da 25cl al Falstaff; purtroppo il colore č difficile da individuare bene a causa dell’oscuritā nel locale, ma propenderei per un ambrato carico. Schiuma poca ed evanescente; aroma vinoso ma al tempo stesso leggero e fragrante. Si lascia bere a grandi sorsate. Ottima

22oz bottle. Pours a reddish mahogany with a good sized beige head. Some sourness in the nose, with alot of sweet red fruit aroma, a slight vanilla note. Slightly sharp and sour at the start with a bit of metallica and some vanilla and vineagar in the finish. An ok sour but I’ve had many that were better.

A little hazy, dark red beer, with a off white head. The aroma is a little sour, with some sweets of fruit. Also some wood tones. The taste of red cherries, sour and woody. Also fruit notes, like prune. A little bit watery. A fresh beer.

750 ml bottle from Country Club Liquors; Nose has a note of light tartness, brown sugar, and cherries; Hazy brown with a small tan head; flavor is lightly tart, with cherry and berry notes; finish is fruity with very slight tartness; not a very sour ale!
