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.

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.

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...

This is a very palate cleansing beer. It is very carbonated and leaves a very sour taste in your mouth. A little too sour for me but over all a great beer.

I’m sorry but I just don’t get this type of beer. Reddish with a small head. Vegemite smell and a very sour and tart taste. Grows on you slightly.

Dark red coloured, tan head. Aroma is of sour cherry and wood. Flavour has sour fruits and wood. Complex beer.

750ml bottle. Pours a clear ruby red with a firm brownish head. Aroma is sweet and fruity, dominated by cherry with added bits of sour dark fruit, wood, and perhaps a bit of spice. Taste is relatively full and very tart, with a strong and sour flavor of cherries and wood. Very strong but not unpleasant by any means; just think of a strong IPA, only fruity instead of hoppy.

Dark and cola-like in appearance with a thick, fluffy head. Aroma is tangy and complex with strong hints of dark cherry, chocolate, and raspberry. Malt, citric acid, and just a bit of tobacco predominate in this exceedingly New Glarus fruit beer-esque brew. The finish is long and quite pleasant. Would be a great accompaniment to a milder washed rind cheese like Pere Joseph or Pont l’Eveque.
