2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Pours copper with a nice, light brown head. Aroma shows raspberry, balsamic vinegar and oak. Palate has sweet malt that brings berries before the oak kicks into gear and delivers a dry, salty mustiness to it. Finishes with chalky, slightly tart acidity.

Bottle @ DØE meeting. Pours dark brown with a small offwhite head. Aroma of tart fruit, like sour cherries and malt. Taste is very sweet with cherries and sugar. Thin body. Not a beer to my liking, way to sweet. 190111

On draft @ Sunset Grill and Tap. Aroma is a bit sour and tart with some vinegar. Taste is fruity and somewhat sour. There are also some grape notes that balance everything out to make it a little less sweet. Lite sour syrupy mouthfeel. Nothing that makes me want to drink again. I am going to sample more of this style.

Bottle. Brown with a red hue, thin offwhite head. Smells of vinegar and fruits. Taste is sour with some berry taste, also some sweetness. Maybe some raspberry and rabarbra. This beer is sour for sure

Iv had sours before and liked them a lot but this one has a strange after taste to it. I dont enjoy this sour. Metallic comes to mind when tasting it. Has great red color darker then the other sours iv had. Smells great.

Quite sour taste, it smells like white cheese, which isn't a recommendation.

I can not appreciate this style, the winney taste distracts for me. The sweet and sour I can understand but it just does not come together for me

UPDATED: APR 26, 2006 Bottle sampled with Stegosaurus. Pours a bronze red\brown with an off-white head. Aroma of fruit and alcohol. Flavor is sweet, fruity, with a sour tart finish. I didn’t care for this at all, and halfway through the bottle i got bored and dumped mine.

UPDATED: JUN 5, 2008 Bottle. Smell is sour grapes and butter. Dark red body with lovely white head. Taste is pungent sour half & half, butter, some cider. Brutal on the palate. Never had a flemish sour before, and I may steer clear of them in the future. Good lord.
