Jun 29, 2008 75cl bottle from Jans Wine and Boos #2. Rated on 4/2/08. Pours a reddish-brown with a frothy tan/white head. Aroma is fruity with notes of oak, sour, ripe fruit, apple cider, malt. Flavor is very sour from start to finish with hints of sweetness, dill pickle, plum and just a faint subtle note of worcestershire. Seems like it would also be good for marinating.

Jun 28, 2008 Draught at the red. Something about this just looked perfect sitting in a tulip glass with a dark ruby body and small, creamy head. Tart, fruity, acetic aroma with some woodiness. The flavor has a biting acidity with some white wine character and fruitiness. What I loved was that the malts didn’t throw any conflicting flavors at the sourness; it just worked. Oily, medium body. This was really refreshing and surprising.

Jun 28, 2008 Tap at the Tiger. Preface this with me not really being a sour fan, yet. And that when I ordered it I didn’t l know it was a sour.This poured dark brown with a thin white head. The nose was a bit scary, vinegar, and dirty socks. Pretty sour flavor, nicely carbonated, and yes tart. A bunch of berry flavors popped out too. Nice dry finish. Slowly but surely my taste buds are maturing, lol.

Jun 23, 2008 Updated: Sep 20, 2009Bottle. Brownish red color.Beige head. Sour ales are really not my type but since I never tried it before I took a bottle. Fruity acidy taste. Rather complex. Not bad

Jun 20, 2008 Pours an absolutely gorgeous deep runy color with a very small white head. Aroma is cherries, sour-wood and plum.
The flavor is sweet and tart all at the same time with a really nice dry kick at the end. Really a wonderful Flemish sour.

Jun 17, 2008 Bottle - 33 cl. The nose is rather vinous and vinigar-like with burned notes. The head is light brown and the body has theis deep brown with a redish edge. I taste grapes, hay, sour winegums and glue. It has a buttery and sparkling feeling in the mouth. Must admit that sour-ales doesn´t belong to my favorites...
