11.2 oz bottle redish brown color with a fruity scent. Fruity taste surpasses aroma. Carbonation more like a champagne than a beer. A pleasant surprise!

11.2oz bottle-pours a foamy tan head and deep ruby red color. Aroma is dark fermented fruit-raisin, cherry, medium malt. Taste is dark fermented fruit-raisin, cherry, secondary medium/dark malt, syrupy, some spicy (hops). Kind of a spice lambic. Good effervescence.

Malt sweetness, noticable at first. Sour notes light acitic acid notes as well a slight woody note. Dried fruit notes come thourgh as the beer warms. Light brown in color with light ruby tint when held to the light. Light off-white head that clings to the side of the glass. Malt Sweetness in noticable upfront then cut through with a light sourness in the back. Cherries come to mind in the flavor of this beer.

Bottle. Dark brown body, small off white head. Heavy sweet malty aroma. Way too sweet flavour. There is some complexity here, but I don’t whish to explore it further. (Brüssel (hotel room), 15.12.07)

Bottle bought at Hopduvel Gent. Deep brown colour with some reddish undertones and a moderate tan head. Aroma was very sour, almost vinegar-like, with some fruit and molasses and tart oak. The flavour was powerfully sour with some yeast and a vinous mouth feel. The finish had a lingering acetic edge. Complex and very enjoyable.

Bouteille brune de 33 cl. Nez puissant de fruits (raisins, pruneaux, cerises). Belle robe brune et mousse qui tient bien. Goût très fruité, avec une note de boisé et une présence lactique discrète. L’arrière-goût fruité demeure discret, peut-être le point le moins réussi de cette excellente bière. Unique en son genre parmi les bières trouvables au Québec.

330ml bottle from Bevmo Carmel Mountain. Wow! What a beer! Poured a Deep copper with a very thin off white head. Nose of sour cherries, oak, cabernet.....and something I can’t put my finger on. Flavor was very sweet, sour and smooth. I’m new to sour ales but, on my way to falling in love with them.
