omhper (10393), Stockholm, Sweden Apr 21, 2008 Bottled, thanks ante! Clear amber, absolutely no head. Concentrated citric buttery nose. A good amount of buttery caramelly malt well hidden in tart oaky citric acid. Juicy and concentrated flavour of vinegar and cranberry with the slightest hint of disturbing vegetables. Powerful and interesting, but I still prefer the regular Grand Cru.
Dickinsonbeer (2512), Hoboken, New Jersey, USA Jul 22, 2008 Pours a light amber coppery, mostly still with no head. Acetic acid aroma is pretty intense, tons of apple cider vinegar- acetone, acetaldehyde, malt vinegar, and tannic with a light sweetness. Lighter sweetness in the flavor, mostly sour and acidic- vinegar, light cherry pit and cherry pie, metallic penny-like hints, almond cherry pit, cyanide character. Acetic acid in the mouthfeel is prickly and sour, with more tannins and astringency and a residual apple juice sweetness in the end. Pretty good overall, but a bit to metallic and apply for me. BoBoChamp (618), Gent, Belgium Jul 20, 2008 38cl, exclusive brew anno 2004, from De Hopduvel Gent, very complex, refreshing, clear, nearly no head, good brew, but not a topper RomanW70 (284), Providence, Rhode Island, USA Jul 14, 2008 Botte at Kulminator, Antwerp, 6/19. Pours golden orange with a small white head. Aroma of sour fruit and wheat. Flavor is very similar. Finish is nicely sour. Very well integrates the sour with the grain malts. An excellent beer. gunnfryd (2718), Kristiansand, Norway Jul 11, 2008 Bottle. Golden / Orange colour with a white head. Aroma is sour, yeast, wood, lemon. Flavour is sour, yeast, wood, lemon.
