Very solid aroma, but doesn’t set itself apart from the pack with anything special (aside from some acetone). Taste is sour (although not overly so as with some) with a little cherry and acetone again. A little thin. Aside from the acetone, it isn’t bad stuff. joebrew (608), Farewell Minny; Hello Puyallup, Washington, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Oct 6, 2007 Pours a nice deep reddish hued dark brown. Very tart cherry on the nose with a hint of brown sugar and barnyardy like earthy funk. Great tart bite on the front palate that leads to a good dose of ripe cheeries, and is finished with the earthiness. Great beer! hagar70 (2), Den Helder, Netherlands does not count | 5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 5/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 20/20 | Oct 5, 2007 The best alternative for the Rodenbach Alexander.

Not overly sour but kind of like a dessert wine in mouth feel. Very nice beer. DerBiermeister (512), Birmingham, Alabama, USA

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Sep 30, 2007 A deep red brown pour with a light off white head. An aroma that is very fruity it reminds me of cherries. A tartness that I really enjoy. Cherries come through in the flavor as well. A bit over the top on the carboantion even for the style but the palate overall is solid and rich. Overall an excellent beer that I’’ve waited too long to try. Driftwood6 (214), USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Sep 29, 2007 On tap at Map Room, Chicago. Tasted very fresh and just outstanding. Highly carbonated-- kind of fizzy-- reminded me a little of champagne mouth feel. Not overly sour and a very clean after taste. I drank this after several other big Belgian and IPA beers, so I can’t really comment on the subtle flavors. It was the perfect beer to finish off a great Friday night in Chicago.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Sep 28, 2007 Bottle. Pours deep red / ruby with brownish head. Aroma is vinegary / sour at first but this quickly changes as the fruit, especially cherry quickly comes through. Taste is sharp and malty with woody / fruity / acidic. This ale is very well balanced and is a joy to drink.
