Jun 26, 2009 750 mL bottle from Sam’s Quik Shop (purchased November 2007 and best by July 2009). Brownish-red pour with a thin off-white head. Aroma of sourness and oak. Wonderfully sour flavor blended with earth, wood, and apple cider vinegar. Absolutely spectacular. Palate is a bit thin but really just as I would expect from a sour ale. This is a remarkable beer.

Jun 22, 2009 750 ml bottle from Market of Choice. Poured out dark brown that turns red when hit by direct sunlight, nice lacing, quick evaporating head. Aroma is extremely vinous, nice bit of cherry as well and perhaps some wood. Flavor was a lot sweeter than I expected, with just the right hint of sour as well. Nice mixture of grape and cherry flavors with some light woodiness. Very tasty beer.

Jun 22, 2009 Sour Apples, vinegar, red wine, red rice yeast, Extremely refreshing, I wish I had the whole bottle to myself, but I did nurse my two ounces for about 45 minutes. Sweet, sour, lactic, everything is in here. The body is not as thick as the Duchese de Borgnogne, tho.

Jun 16, 2009 Bottle 33cl.
Pours a dark red colour with a small size head and loads of carbonation.
Smell is very present, is sour and fruity, also has some bitterness there.
Taste is also sour and fruity, also a bit smoky and can taste something else I can’t place there too.

Jun 9, 2009 33cl bottle
pours ruby/reddish, thick off white, light mocha head
Aroma is our, wood/oak and barrel with nice vinegary aromas.
Taste, a step ahead from the regular Rodenbach. Lots of sour and fruit tarness; with a wine like palate of raisins with a nice fizzling palate.
