Pours a dark red/brown with a somewhat fizzy head. Flavors are a wonderful mix of apples, cranberries, some unripened grapes, vinegar and a modest funk around the edges. Palate is quite tart with some sweet and a good smooth drinkability. MagnumPI (56), Essex, England

Thin lacy head and pungent aroma from this fruity Guezuesque beer. Dark and crimson with a hint of fizz, this unique taste stays as pungent from start to finish, and redolent of sour grapes. It feels alive as you drink it and despite the odd flavour you cant help enjoy it

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | May 22, 2009 Draught at TND: Aroma of dark ripe fruit, cherry, malts, alcohol, light funk, slight lactic acid, and a hint of funk. Poured brown/ruby in color with a medium to large-sized, creamy, dense, off-white/tan head that lasted throughout. Light to medium tart, lightly sweet flavor. Tastes of light funk, barnyard, cherry, lactic acid, and slight oak. Medium body. Average texture. Average to lively carbonation. Funky, lightly tart, cherry finish is a smidge sticky.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | May 18, 2009 Wow. The first sour I’ve really enjoyed. Flavor smells of sour green apples, under-ripe citrus, and tart cranberry. Flavor matches, and the wild yeast/bacteria flavor that I’m used to is very understated, which is great. There are no off or unpleasant flavors...or if there are, they are well hidden. A very mellow sour, which may come from the blending of aged beer with fresh, which is characteristic of this style. A very interesting, easy drinking sour, that I’m glad to have experienced. eManu (187), Brussels, Belgium
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 18/20 | May 18, 2009 Pours a red brown dark color with a thin off-white head. Aroma of sour fruits and spices. Flavors are strong and kicking, very sour and little sweetness with lots of fruits like pears and apples and some cherries. A little lambic like.
The Rodenbach glass has a football in the foot of the glass, I think because the owner of the brewey is also the owner of a Belgium football team. cprochak (393), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | May 18, 2009 Draft for Sourfest 2009 at Brouwer’s for SBW. Pours a dark amber with tan head. Sour fruit dominates the aroma with hints of smoke and a roasted caramel and vanilla (fantastic!). Get a nice tart berry flavor that is smooth and a good drinkable beer. gracefullypunk (298), Washington, USA
| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | May 17, 2009 On tap for SBW Sour Fest; one of 16 tried. Pours red-black with an off-white head and plenty of lacing and the perfect amount of bubbles. Aromas of tart blueberries and cherries with a bit of vanilla and malt. I really loved the taste of this one, which was of sour cherries and had a wonderful balance of sweet and sour.
