harrisoni (5331), Ashford, Kent, England Apr 25, 2008 Bottle at Chris_o’s The Wolf tasting. Beer of the evening for me. Rather a lovely sour aroma. Bit of wood. In mouth, sweeter and maltier than you would expect from the aroma. Great sour finish. Good sour beer.
ironchefscott (246), long beach, California, USA Oct 5, 2008 I thought this beer was overrated.....decent vinegar nose....not enough malt background or funky sour complexity to be as highly rated as it is...... Dickinsonbeer (2550), Hoboken, New Jersey, USA Aug 6, 2008 Thanks to Frumpty for sharing. Pours a medium ruby amber- some haze, no head- very minimal light soft carbonation. Aroma is mineral-like, light metallic, vitamin B hint, with a good dose of malt vinegar- Flemish sour-like- similar to rodenbach, lots of acetobacter. Flavor - light sweetness, some sugary sweet sharpness cut by the acidity, almost a fruity raspberry and cherry pie like funk going on- lots of pedio, but very low brett character detected - again good rodenbach like sourness in the end, with some murky yeastiness clouding it a bit. Prickly harsh acidity- lots of pedio, acetobacter, nice malt vinegar acetic acid- hints of red wine vinegar as well. The apple acidity I get from some older Flemish reds isn’t in this one. Nice Flemish red. TURDFERGUSON (1153), Carrboro, North Carolina, USA Aug 4, 2008 6oz Bottle from frumptydumpty. Thanks so much for sharing this Ryan. Pours a dark hazy amber with no head. Nose of vinegar and wood. Flavor is very similar to aroma, more wood and vinegar with a hint of sour cherries. Would be nice to try a larger sample someday but I was super-psyched to get some of this. Ofortuna (315), Grafton, Wisconsin, USA Jul 29, 2008 Many thanks to Jason for this one! Pours completely still. Good use of bugs in this one. Nice complexity and very compatible nature of the funk playing off each other. Bits of Bing cherries, toffee, and a certain nuttiness. Not a huge fan of the base as it’s a bit light on the palate and mouthfeel. Highlight of this beer is the job they did working the bugs to produce their tasty goodness. BrianK (74), New Jersey, USA Jul 28, 2008 Sampled at Stone Sourfest. Flat. Vinegarish aroma. Very balanced tartness. Definately would like to drink this one again.
