3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 12/20Straight from the bottle enjoyed on a summit over Lago Lugano, Switzerland. This was recommended to me by the wife/owner of A Tutta Birra in Milano as her favorite. Most interesting beer I’ve had so far in Italy. The aroma reminded me of rotting trash and at first sip so did the flavor. Further sips revealed sour cherries, dark fruits, apricot and vanilla. Incredibly smooth on the palate, absolutely no kick at the end. Much too sweet for me, almost could be considered a dessert beer in the same vein as dessert wines.
4.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
Beautiful red brown colour with beige head. Smells sweet and sour, but also a bit like sweaty socks (geuze).
Sweet and fruity yet sour and refreshing. Vivid, light body. Spicy/wild geuze finish. A great beer.

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.
