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.

Jun 4, 2009 Bottle. Pours a bubbling red-brown with a gray head. Nose is very astringent, some nice oak. Flavors have a real nice cherry, sweet-tarts, a very clean tart. Very enjoyable beer.

Jun 4, 2009 A nose of soap, cherries and red wine. Taste is very acidic and it’s basically the same as the aroma. I don’t quite understand lambics and sours yet, but this is interesting and quite good.

Jun 3, 2009 ’07 bottle shared by some friends. I was really looking forward to this one, but it ended up being very disappointing. Lots of vinegar in the taste to me just ruined it.

Jun 1, 2009 Shared a champagne bottle at a three person tasting. As I did not note everything I am stealing some notes from Madvike who noted everything. It pours a rosy brown with no head. The smell was the hardest part for me to get pas. Smells acidic and sour with that balsamic vinegar smell. To get the taste you have to get used to the smell. I could not get much of the flavor until I was one with the aroma. Taste is cherries and dark fruit with sour, acidic, and balsamic vinegar again. There’s a whiskey flavor near the end and a faint cinnamon in the background. I am very new to sours, but this grew on me as I tried more. Still don’t think that it will ever be my beer of choice, but who knows maybe it will continue to grow on me even more…

May 31, 2009 Bottle - Pour a rosy brown with no head. Smells acidic and sour with that lovely balsamic vinegar smell. Taste is cherries and dark fruit with sour, acidic, and balsamic vinegar again. There’s a whiskey flavor near the end and a faint cinammon in the background. Hmm. It’s medium-bodied and pleasant in the mouth. Didn’t knock me off my feet, but a solid sour.
