Rodenbach Grand Cru

Scent is of sour cherries, with a hint of oak. The color is a dark brown with a fluffy white head, however the head doesn’t stick around too awful long. The flavor is very plesantly sour, with a bit of oak, along with fruity and vinious flavors. The onlly downfall is that the sweetness is just slightly overdone. Never the less this is still one of my very favorites

330ml bottle served in a tulip glass. Pours a deep garnet with quickly receding white head. Smells of sour grapes and cherries with some banana character to it as well. Flavor is very crisp and tart with some malt sweetness and cherries. Finishes nice and dry. I was a bit apprehensive about trying this beer after my other sour experience but this one is quite lovely.

Draft @ Monks. Wish I could have tried more of this beer, but I had to drive home. Pours a deep, reddish body with small brownish head. The aroma is cherry and vinegar. The taste is great - cherry, tart, great brew.

On tap at Monks Cafe. Pours black cherry red. Very tart and full of flavor, sweet cherries and framboises. A very badass Sour Ale, one of my favorites.

Amber red with sizable yellow white head. Beneath the strong bitter/vinegar nose is fruit, a significant malt component that includes some caramel, and hints of dry alcohol, like a sauvignon. Flavor is strongly acidic while cherry and apple form the fruity notes. There are hints of dust floating around. Palate is a playground, truly deserves the 5 as it perfectly compliments the refreshing acidic fruit tones. Overall, just wow! My first sour ale, but certainly not my last. Complex and supremely refreshing.

12 oz. pour, on tap at Buster’s on 28th in Minneapolis on 5-19-08. Sour, musty, yeasty, sweet aroma of rotten apple and crabapple. Pours a cloudy red/amber with a small amount of beige head. Sour, chalky taste. Lemon and sour sucking candy, white vinegar, and champagne flavors. Some dryness. Bready finish. Interesting, hard to describe aftertaste. Sharp palate sensations. I really enjoyed this beer, but I’ll admit that I’m not a Flemish sour expert. On the negative side, it did give me some heartburn later on in the night.

Dark brown with brown head. Sweet balsamic vinegar nose with cherries poking through. Flavor is the same with acidic flavor that cuts through. Tart, oaky cherries with acid funk.
