Maria (7805) - Thisted, DENMARK - APR 12, 2008
Courtesy of Fonefan. It’s a clear, dark red copper color and the head is creamy and lasting. The aroma is sourish with notes of berries and hints of malt and caramel. The flavour is both sweetish and sour with light notes of candy sugar, berries, grapefruit and caramel. It’s a pleasant sour, but not nearly as nice as Duchesse De Bourgogne from the same brewery.

KimJohansen (10337) - Copenhagen V, DENMARK - MAR 21, 2008
Dark amber with medium head. Sweet and sour aroma with ripe fruits and roasted malt notes. Sweet and sour flavor that holds wood, balsamic and roasted malt. Would be nice if more sour.

BelgiskOlklub (728) - Viby J, DENMARK - FEB 28, 2008
Bottle. Small creamy white head, that’s mostly diminishing. Good lacing. Clear red-brown body. Aroma of caramel, brown sugar, cask wood and a fruity cherry background. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation. The flavor is well balanced between a moderate sweetness and a moderate acidic, dry, sour finish.

kramer (3376) - Sunbury, Pennsylvania, USA - FEB 26, 2008
25 cl bottle, via jbrus. Pours a clear amber body under a small fizzy off-white head that faded to a thin film. The nose is sweet and sour, vinous, and showing a little brett. The flavor is rather sweet, with a little tinge of sour funkiness on the finish. Cherry skins and pie filling abound. While the sweetness is pretty heavy, it does trail off in the finish making it quite drinkable. Mouthfeel is slightly sticky with moderate fizzy carbonation. Overall, a nice authentic Flemish Sour.

Dedollewaitor (9254) - Odense, DENMARK - FEB 22, 2008
25 cl bottle @ Plan-B, Copenhagen: BB 04/07. Pours amber/copper with a sprinkly fading head. Aroma is very sweet & vinous, reminds me of danish gløg. Red wine, fruity sour & soft bodied. Sweet and sticky also. A bit dusty/woody - very matured & old feel, but just good all around. So sippable & nice!
