jetboy (32), USA Jul 3, 2008 Ugh. It had a great smell if I was putting it on my salad, as a beer. Nyet. afireinside96 (817), Mountville, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 2, 2008 Bottle shared with BeerGestapo. Pours dark reddish brown with a thin beige head. Smells of sour cherries, vinegar, some candi sugar. Taste begins with a shock of sour, turning sweet, and back to sour. Notes of cherry, apple, and red grapes make appearances in subtle ways. Mouthfeel is delightful, spritzy & dry, very refreshing. The only real problem I have with this beer is that the taste may not be quite intense enough. I would like to try this one again. PilsnerPeter (2598), Flushing, New York, USA Jul 2, 2008 Bottle: Expires 12/09. I can assume this was a few years old. Pours a ruby brown rusty color with good clarity and a wispy tan head. Fruity/sweet aroma. Notes of dried cranberries, green raisins, toffee, and evident musty oxidation. Interesting. Creamy fluffy body. Flavor shows some signs of oxidation, papery and sweet. Notes of cranberries and candied sugar. Fruity with notes of green raisins, plum and just a touch of vinous quality. There’s some later toasted nuances of driedn bread crust. Pretty unique and interesting. A bit sweet, with less tartness/funkiness than I would’ve liked. I want to try it fresh. benwa420 (43), Aspen, Colorado, USA Jul 2, 2008 Not My style at all. Has a little to much sweetness and sour notes. just not doing it for me. azlondon (656), Fribourg, Switzerland Jul 1, 2008 Appearance: Dark redish brown. Nice amount of head.
Aroma: Dark fruit. Sour/tart. Chocolate.
Taste: Sweet fruit, though still sour. Quenching

Joppe (15), Antwerpen, Belgium Jun 23, 2008 Updated: Jun 25, 2008Bottle (75cl). I love this one Pours as said, a dark brown color with a thick head. Taste cherries, almond. very refreshing. BonVoeux (40), Beveren-Leie, Belgium Jun 22, 2008 Today, bottle 25 cl.
Deep brown with thin beige head.
Woody fruit aroma.
Sour and sweet pallet. Great balance. light sourness for a sour.
But for me is Vichtenaar little better.
