3.1 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/2011.2 oz bottle. Up front sourness followed by a orange, cherry aroma and some vinous qualities. Clear burgundy in color with a small off white head. Aggressive up front sourness, rounded with hint of sour cherries, sherry like, somewhat acidic and a little bitter orange peel. A little astringent for my tastes and the sweetness lingers on the back of the throat. Pretty good job of playing the sweet and sour contrast but seems a little rough around the edges. The aggressive sourness makes it a little one dimensional IMHO.

11.2 Oz bottle reddish brown, beige head, sweet and sour cherry taste with a slightly weird funk didn’t like it at first but it grew on me. Nice change of pace

Bière étonnante et très originale. Au premier abord difficile elle deploye des la seconde gorgée son arôme type cidre au pommé. A goûter..

Draft at Farmers Cabinet. Slightly hazy dark copper red pour with a large pillowy off-white head. Lots of funny lace. Soft fuzzy sour cherry. Little bit of Flemish funk but mostly a watered down sweet cherry sour. Not bad, but I have just had so many better variations of this style that I can not rate it higher. Still a classic.

Really enjoyed it. Drank at rooftop bar in St Louis. Pours a reddish brown (closer to brown). Taste of sour cherries, but not overly tart. Would have again.

750ml bottle in a snifter. Pours a medium brown color with a ruby tint. Aroma of sour cherries and vinegar. Flavor is different from the bottle than the last time I had this on tap, much sweeter and less sour. Taste opens up with sweet fruits, mostly cherry, grape and apple pie. Finishes with a tart, slightly vinegar flavor. Body is medium with medium to high carbonation. Overall I really enjoy this beer and am a big fan of Flanders reds in general.
