3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours red with tan head. Wild, sour and malty aromas. Taste is sour and malty with a dry finish. A refreshing brew.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
Had this on tap, somewhere in Belgium. Red colour with a pink head on top. Aroma of tartness and some fruity hoppy sensation. Flavour is sour with a nice dry finish afterwards. I could drink this all night, wich I did.

To start with; not my style of beer. Then again, considering the style, I do like this beer. Very little alcohol yet loads of flavor. Unfortunately, the sour taste is not my cup of tea. The other flavors somehow remind me of a Leffe brune, (smokyness?), which I like.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
(Draft @ Great Lost Bear) Served in a tulip. Dark reddish-brown body. A finger or so of biscuit-yellow head settles to a nice, lasting cap. Aroma of red grape, sourish but not overly, burgundy-like overtones. Mouthfeel fairly smooth but with some fine-bubble soda-like fizziness. No real lacing. Flavor is grapey, very much so. Mostly tart, somewhat sour except for the sweet grape soda overtones. Actually more like burgundy to me than beer. Some woodiness. Pass.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle from Belgisk Bryg. Clear red/brown colour with a nice off-white head. Aroma and flavour of fruit, caramel and malt.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Mysterious and gloomy red color with a beautifully creamy head, nice retention. Aroma is full of tart apples, oak, fresh raspberry, strawberry, slick leather, some bretty funk, a nice hint of alcohol and a caramel-based sweetness which - along with the oak notes - smoothes the aroma out nicely. Taste is slightly sour with many notes of ripe berries, fresh fruits, malty caramel-sweetness, oak and a faint hint of banana. Considering the alcohol, it packs a nice punch. A little more dryness would really tie it together, I think. Nice, though.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Bottle at De Paas. Red-brown with off white head. Aroma is sour cherries. Flavor the same with an unpleasant aftertaste. Happy with a good spur beer but for me, this is not a good example
2.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 9/20
Mahogony red and clear body. Aroma had pineapple, leaves, rasberry and dough. Hard for me do judge the taste as I found out by drinking this that I don’t really like sour ales... Good complexity to it but the idea of eating overripe fruit isn’t appealing. Aftertaste is better - like a snapss or herbal liquor. Glad I tried, won’t try again. (33cl bottle)
