3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
On tap at the De Heeren 20th Anniversary party during last week’s trip to Belgium. Reviewed from notes.
Served in a mini snifter.
Pours a light caramel color with a very small head that receded quickly. No lacing.
The nose immediately brought quite a bit of vinegar. Some light cherry and oak, but mostly vinegar. Super strong and along the lines of Vin de Cereal but without the cookie dough-type sweetness. Flavor was straight sourness, though not completely overpowering like some of the more out there American wilds that I’ve had.
Light body and thin carbonation with a heavy sourness.
Not fantastic but certainly not bad either. An interesting experience.

Cloudy reddish maroon color, small edge head. Aroma of sour oak, red plums, lemon peel. Taste is extremely sour vinegar and summer fruits. Rough.

draft@Bierpassion Weekend 2011: dark brown with a red hue, very small eggwhite head, smell is very sour with lots of vinegar going almost acidic & lots of very sour grapes, taste follows smell with a very sharp acidic touch to the aftertaste that really hits you & a malt body to go along with it, least vinous of the different versions I have tried, rawest one, amazing stuff, pretty much completely flat, hint of spice & acid almost rotting wood, yep great stuff

Dezent säuerlicher, sehr frischer Antrunk mit ebenfalls säuerlichen Eichennoten, die überaus passend sind. Die Säuerlichkeit bkeibt in seiner Intensität weitestgehend konstant und wirkt immer erfirschender, die Komplexität des Anfang, wo auch Kirsch- und Traubennuancen wirken, schwindet allerdings. Sie gefällt nun zwar, ist zum Ende aber weniger aromatisch. Im Abgang noch einmal passend holzig, etwas nach Zitrusfrucht, trocken. Sehr erfrischend! /12/12/10//11
