Ruddy brown pour. Definitely smells like a sour! Flavor is less so, but has a big acidic bite. Not as much as the grand cru, but still there.

Reddish/copper brew with a pinkish head. Aromas of berries, wine, and some medicinal sweetness. Tastes of tart raspberries, muted sweetness, and a medium/heavy sourness. Tastes a bit like wine, but sweeter. Tart finish. Pretty tasty, one to sit back and enjoy.

Pours a nice and hazy brown, not much of a head though. Scents are bitter, fruity and a tad earthy with a nice mellow oak aroma. The taste is great, not as big in tangy flavors as a regular sour, but rather more onto sweet apple notes and a mellow earthiness that balances out quite well. The finish is sour, and with a hint of sweet, leaves the mouth dry and wanting more.

Bottle share at extreme food night with Chipalsa and company. Nose is slightly woody with a funky sour malt mash smell. Poured a dark brown with little head. Taste is sour malt/vinegar with a nice wood aftertaste. Some slightly fruity esters that help even out the sours. Nice.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
Tap at random place in Brussel.
Clear dark brownish red with a short beige head.
Sweetish sourish malty taste and aroma with red berries, plum and woody notes of barrel.
Thin and slight watery with soft carbonation.
Like a stripped down version of the excellent Grand Cru. Totally ok though totally overshadowed by the latter.
