Dette var snoop. Frisk fruktig bær smak. Noe syrlig tilnermet vin smak. Et øl jeg gjerne drikker igjen. Ps ikke noe for wiskey hatere.

Draft at BXL East. Pours deep reddish brown with a foamy tan head. Aroma is bright tartness of cherries and lemon with some woody and earthy funkiness. Taste is very well balanced with sour notes of tart cherries and other fruits, vinegar, oak and earth. Really soft carbonation and a lovely balance to this beer. Really enjoyed this one.

23.4.2013, Hilpeä Hauki. Tap. Clear dark red. Aroma: White wine vinegar, candyfloss, malt and hints of wood. Taste: Sweet, acidic. Palate: Medium body. Nice.

Pours actual red, unlike a red ale. Underwhelming at first, needs to warm up. Wood, vinegar, cherry on the nose, vinegar and dark current flavour, wood, vinegar, vinous finish.

Indonesia often has only one condiment at soup restaurants: vinegar. I pour it in like a fiend, I’ve got odd tastes that way. I guess this is why I find this beer absolutely stellar... bought another six today. A classic, as elegant as a good wine, at 1/10 the price. Hope it doesn’t become better known because I’m cheap.

On tap at Bulldog NE, nice ruby brown pour with minimal white head. Aroma is some cherry, lemon and yeast funk. Taste is a very big puckering sour lemon, with great cherry flavor blended in, finishes smoothly with a nice lingering tartness, solid. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

33cl bottle. Had a clear red brown sparkling appearance with a small beige head. A very sour beer with high carbonation. Has hints of citrus and cassis. A very special beer!

Bottle. Mahogany with a thin head. Aroma is fairly heavy dark fruit. Flavour is champagne bitter, dried fruit and plum on a very dry palate. Finish is very dry wine like.

Red brown colored beer with hardly any head. Fruity sourish aroma and taste. Dark fruits, notes of caramel. Dry sourish fruity aftertaste.

Bottle @ home. Profumo intenso di spezie, in primis chiodi di garofano, poi fruttato con tendenza all’acidulato, come nelle kriek, con prevalenza di frutti di bosco. All’aspetto è di un bel rame antico, perfettamente limpida con una schiuma non durevole e dal perlage finissimo. Il corpo è medio, dalla consistenza vinosa, piuttosto carbonato. il finale astringente per via dell’acidità marcata. Il gusto è spettacolare.Uva, frutti rossi ,piuttosto dolce all’ingresso che man mano diventa acidulo creando una bella sensazione di sweet ’n’sour.

Bottle in the hotel in Bucharest, Romania, bought at Beer O’clock, March 2013. Clear reddish brown with cream-coloured foam, Candy, pickle-juice, alcohol and sour wine aroma, rather delicate sourness and fruity taste. Light body, delicate fizz and relatively easy to drink.
