Feb 24, 2008 Pours dark brown with a slight reddish hue. Nose of an oaky sour cherry with a a lot of malt sweetness balancing it out. A malty fruit flavor with cherries, plums, raspberries, with some subdued oak flavor that finishes with a touch of vanilla. This beer was overall pretty flat. A sort of thick texture, but I think a little bit of carbonation would have spritzed it up nicely.

Feb 23, 2008 Bottle. Pours a dark brown/red with a small thick, white head that persists. Leaves a thick lacing in the glass. Aroma of tart raspberries, sourness. After smelling this beer, I expected to drink a very tart, sour beer but I was surprised by this one! Taste is still sour, especially sour apple, but very sweet with apple, pear, other dark fruits, and oak This beer is more of a cross between a sour ale and a belgian ale, I think. For someone who doesn’t particularly like sour ales, I loved this! So drinkable! I wish I had another bottle of this...

Feb 23, 2008 FSA - easy drinkable, but as most of these kind of beers it has a little bit of sickly sweet aftertaste. But a single glass is great - therefore IMO go for the small bottles.

Feb 23, 2008 Updated: Apr 18, 2008Pours a clear dark brown with a creamy tan head and some great lacing. Aroma is mostly fruit, with some sour hop notes. Flavor is all dark fruit, with a hint of alcohol bite on the finish. Those Belgians make some fantastic beers!

Feb 17, 2008 Updated: Mar 30, 2008Bottle. Poured dark ruby with an off-white head which dissipated to a nice lace. First impression brought to mind balsamic vinegar, though nowhere near as acidic. Rich undertones of fig and prune and a delicate carbonation made it a pleasure to drink.

Feb 16, 2008 330 mL bottle. Pours a dark red-brown, with a thick medium head that dissipates in a few minutes. Aroma is strong malt vinegar, with some oak and sweet fruit underneath if you really look for it. Flavor is sweet, fruity and acidic, with fine carbonation. Medium mouthfeel. It’s different, and quite enjoyable, but is definitely not a session ale!

Feb 14, 2008 Bottle marked "Best Before: 4-22-09". Wow, I am not down with the vinegar smell and taste. Pours a dark brown color with dark reddish highlights. Fizzy tan head that hangs around a bit and leaves a little lace. First whiff I get is vinegar and then on further sniffing I get some sour cherry, wood, and malt. Tastes of sour cherries, some sweet oakiness, and sweet, sugary maltiness. Medium body, vibrant carbonation. It got better as it breathed and warmed up.
