COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Bottle: Filtered.
A blend of 1/3 young beer and 2/3 of beer aged 2 years in large oak vats. The more important proportion of oak matured beer contributes to its fruity taste, complexity and intensity. The finish is worthy of a great wine.

03-FEB-2012, bottle @home, from "Ølbutikken". Red’sih brown with low beige head. Vinegar nose with red fruits and wood. Taste is balsamico, wood, and cherries. Some nail polish-like notes. Tart but ends with a hint of sweetness. Lovely brew. A sort of beginners sour.

dinkle50 (221) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - FEB 4, 2012
Reddish pout, small head with slight lacing. Aroma is all vinegar and not very appetizing. Taste is slightly vinegary with some sour cherries. Mouth feel is slightly painful. Sourness lingers with every sip.

sonnycheeba (344) - Fells Point, Baltimore, Maryland, USA - JAN 30, 2012
Draft. Pours dark brown with creamy beige head; good retention and some lacing. Aroma is vinegar, sour fruit, vanilla, and oak. Flavor matches the nose; sweet malt forward with dark fruit esters and no noticeable hops; sweet finish. Medium body, carbonation and warmth.

Doftar rom-russin och typ jäst. Smakar det samma fast med en rejäl dos syra. Jag uppskattade smakspektrat men denna öltyp är inte riktigt min kopp te (ännu).

bigrond (1215) - factoryville, Pennsylvania, USA - JAN 29, 2012
pours very dark. Big nose and strong complex balance. Fruit notes from beginning to the long slow cherry finish. Plum, sour, smooth are the three strongest words for the brew. Very nice.

Bouteille 33cL. Nez de cerises avec un cote sure et acide. Semblable en bouche: cerises et framboises avec un cote vinaigre. Interessant.

kryon (147) - SWEDEN - JAN 26, 2012
Pours brown with low head Exploding with perfumic aromas and sourness. Sour tones of grape some kriekyness. Ok beer not more. Too much perfume for my taste
