Bottle at Sourfest. Deep amber brown pour with a white head. Lovely aroma of old wet leather, oak, red wine vinegar and cherry. Flavor is dark fruits, vinegar, oak, acidity and tartness. Wonderfully balanced and smooth. Surprise from the Bruery.

I dunno about all these sour beers... They seem to all taste the same to me! This is good but more of the same just more balanced. I definitely don’t find any musty faults in this which is nice lots of wine tannins in this.

Bottle. Musty oak, tart cherry, and vinegar aroma. Dark brown with minimal head. Intense sour cherry/vinegar and malt flavor. Dry finish. Nice.

Bottle. Pours a deep reddish brown with a fizzy tan head. Aroma was sour with cherries, dark fruit and wood. Flavor was sour & tart with oak, caramel, dark fruit and had a light oaky dry finish.

Bottle. Pours a murky brown with very little head. Aroma is tart, funk, berries and vinegar. Heavy juicy Berry flavors dominate the flavor. Some smooth oak tones present. Flat to little carbonation.

Bought a 750 ml locally. Appearance was darker than I expected and not much head to speak of. The smell was strong sour. Taste was puckering at first, then mellowed after a few sips. After all that, really liked it. Not the best I’ve had, but very good. Would certainly buy again.

750 ml bottle at Olympen. Dark brown and crystal clear. Vinegary aroma. Crisp acidic sour nose. Notes of bread, toffee and grapes. Rich malty flavours balanced by a strong acidity. Well balanced though. A little too much alcohol perhaps, but overall a really nice flemish red ale.

UPDATED: MAY 21, 2013 75cl bottle at home. Bought at ’Geers’. Appearance: little to no head, dark red beer. Nose: sour, tart, red fruits, some ’coulis’ even, rather fruity in general but with a good sour nose to balance. Taste: a long lasting sourness, though combined with fruity notes and quite some alcohol noticeable. The beer is somewhat sticky around your mouth and reminded me of a ’coulis’ in a way. Altogether, amazing beer, very comparable to a Rodenbach Vintage!
