Warning! Early amateur rating! Super tart sour Belgian red with a worcester sauce sour finish! Great!

Light cider-vinnegar aroma. Nice brown-red color with hint of white head. Nice, slightly tart-brown flavor. Excellent balance, a great gateway-flemmish red.

Wow. My first sour ale, very different than what I am used to. Brown and hazy, refreshing but my friend said it best - tasted sort of like a grape soda. Definitely worth a try.

Very drinkable sour ale. Tart but balanced well with sweetness levels. Wine like. Yum. Serving: Bottle and Tap

Red mahogany body with light brown head. Aroma of sour mash and bread dough.

Nice dark amber colour, okay head. Aroma of grapes, alcohol, barley. Taste is a mix of cherries and wood with a sour finish. Very good, very drinkable.

bottle. Pours withan average off white-light brown head over a clear red brown body. Aroma and taste of vinegar and rotting oranges with a sweetish finish. Thin body, dry.

750 ml bottle from bev4less. Pours a murky brown color with a small off-white head that soon fades to a fine ring. The nose is elegant with tart fruits, mild horseblanket and some funk. The flavor is overtly sweet and tart with sour candies, green apples, grapes, cherries and some bread. The palate is full and malty. The finish is long with lingering sweet tarts. Overall: A very mild sour, still quite good.
