The first time I had this was one of those ’special beer moments’ where you know you’ve discovered something great. The nose on this is incredible; the fruit punches you in the nose. Starts oh so sour and yields to cherry, wine and I found when warm a slight almond finish. World-class beer.

Well, this is my first time with this. It came so highly acclaimed, I had to try it. I wish I wouldn’t be so hard on it, so I’ll do my best to be kind. It really isn’t my thing, and I thought it would be.
Pours dark with no head to speak of. What little head there is, however, lingers on the side of the glass nicely. I like a beer with head.
The taste is initially sweet, followed quickly by sour. Not quite "sour patch kids" sour, but sour.
Palate? I couldn’t wait to have a different beer to get the taste out of my mouth.
Overall I just didn’t like it. That being said, I like the beers at a sour beer brewery in Brussels even less. So it’s not the worst I’ve ever had. But I just didn’t like it. But in all fairness, I think I just don’t like the style. Frankly, I bumped my score up a little because I didn’t want to be cruel to a beer that the brewery and family are very proud of.

Pours a rich mahogany with a modest head. Nose of sour cherries and yeast. Taste is crisp, tart and complex. It tingles the senses as it rolls through the mouth.

750 ml bottle. THE definitive Flemish red. Sour, fruity, yeast, with just a hint of citric acidity. Wonderful.

Bottle. Red-brown colour. Smells sour fruity. Even more sour than Duchesse. Incredible sourness in flavour. Slight acethon. No bitterness, instead sourness. Nice balance of sour and sweet. Dry. Amazingly yummy! Oak barrel character. Somewhat vineous. Big on Co2.

Wow this sure is one sour bastard! Don’t drink it when it’s too cold. Beautiful color, sharp soury taste. I do love sour ales a lot although I haven’t taste much different kinds. This one was very good. Looking forward to taste new ones.

Draught. Straight from the cask at the brewery, a rare treat. Almost red, very complex. Hints of wood and vinegar. Very sour, with notes of ripe fruit (cherry ?). Wonderfull beer.Visit this brewery when you can.

Very refreshing beer. Nice combination of sour and sweetness with a nice dry finish. They say it finishes like wine and I'd have to agree. Don't be scared of the word sour. If you enjoy wine from time to time, give this a taste.
