A deep, clear ruby body beneath a frothy, rocky tan head. Smells very oaky, with acidic, spicy, cherry, berry, and, unfortunately, a little vinegar. Super strong brett/wild yeast aroma. The complexity of flavors is incredible. Cherry, plum, fig, brett, oak, chocolate, sourdough bread, acidic, and sweet notes bombard the taste buds. The finish is long, sour, strong, abrasive, and I love it. One of the most (if not the most) classic Belgian sour ales. I know it’s not the same since Palm bought it out, but it’s still a tasty, tasty brew, and one of my all time favorites.

Aug 16, 2008 In bottiglia da 25cl al Falstaff; purtroppo il colore è difficile da individuare bene a causa dell’oscurità 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

Aug 12, 2008 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.

Aug 10, 2008 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.
