Draught at Fermentoren, Copenhagen. A return to one of the beers that wowed me when I first started exploring. Luscious deep red, little head or lacing to speak of. Gorgeous sour vinegary taste; not quite the mouth-puckering experience I remember but it was new to me then. Now the level of sourness seems spot-on. Oak character comes through particularly, perhaps because it’s on tap here. A beer I’ll no doubt return to many times more.

33cl Brown bottle, best before 27th Mar 2010, drank after a heavy day at work 5th Aug 2008.
Poured into my new La Chouffe tulip glass (the first beer to grace it). Deep Ruby red and as clear as clear when held up to the light. The tan head looked well formed at first, but it fell away to a collar very swiftly.
Incredible aroma of sour red fruit (Raspberries, Cherries and Redcurrents), Almonds and Mazzipan type smells too, but all sour.
The sourness is also incredible in the taste, very pronounced and in your face.
I have had a few ’Reds’ in my time, but this one was very true to its style, a rich sourness prevails throughout and althought not a favourite style of mine, you can’t help but appreciate the complex mix your senses are given by this beer. Whoever blended this brew did a fine job.

Good tart aroma, amazing tingle on the tongue with just a bit of sour balanced with maltiness. This might just be my new favorite beer.

Shared 750ml bottle. Poured a ruby red color with an off-white head. Aroma was sour fruits, grape notes, tartness. Flavor was a bit wine-like, a slightly dry, sour, tart brew. Enjoyable.

M - 50-50 carbonation, dry yeast finish.
O - Decent starter sour. Not as good after having so many wild ales since then.

The taste is very cherry-sour, aftertaste is also a long time very sour with a great cherry flaovour, very nice! For me a bit to sour but of course a nice sour Ale!
