kook (2033) - Perth, Western Australia, AUSTRALIA - AUG 27, 2005
Reddy mud brown in colour with a short tan head. Mild nutty aroma with some berrie notes. Sweet nutty flavour with an oaky vanilla dry finish. Thin, slightly acidic feel. Ok.

argo0 (9034) - Washington DC, USA - AUG 23, 2005
(bottle, best by 9/9/06) Clear, dark red-brown body with small beige head. Aroma is medium sweet, caramel, light anise, some metallic. Taste is very sweet, raisin, caramel, some cherry. Watery medium-full body, some stickiness.

sayravai (4526) - Helsinki, FINLAND - JUL 29, 2005
(Bottled) Clear, deep dark red color with hardly any head but some lace. Sweetish, slightly tart aroma of fruit juice and raisins. Sweet-malty, fruity flavor with some sourness and acidity in the background. Light to medium-bodied, fizzy-carbonated and a bit watery palate. I really want to see the person who loves this beer...

goldtwins (4320) - Nesconset, New York, USA - JUL 23, 2005
Poured brown with a ruby tint and scarcely any head. What is there is light tan. Aroma of cherry and cranberry that is more sweet than anywhere nere tart/sour. Sweet fruity berry flavor that again is really lacking tartness. Woodiness on the finish. If I didn’t know the style I would just think it is a fruit beer or even a wood aged one. Kind of disppointing since I thought it was going to be delighted by something sour and stinky. Medium to full body.

joergen (13935) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - JUL 22, 2005
Bottled. Red brown coloured with a fast disappearing beige head. Acidic aroma with notes of fruits and wood, but not much aroma at all. Fruity flavour with notes of bread and wood and some acidic notes. Watery finish.

Papsoe (21781) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - MAY 12, 2005
UPDATED: JAN 8, 2006 (Bottle 25 cl) Brown with a ruby-red tint. Some caramel flavours that are rapidly erased by the dominating sourness. Sour ales are always refreshing in small quantities, this is no exception. 070893

lachesis (758) - St Idesbald, BELGIUM - MAY 3, 2005
Brown-reddish collor with medium beige head. Cerial aroma’s, old bread (zuurdesembrood), nuts, bread pudding and youghurt. Taste is a bit thin, has hints of brown bread, lacks some body and has this strange light-sweet middel pallet. It ends with a buttermilk finish.

TBone (9096) - Pori, FINLAND - APR 18, 2005
Bottled 25cl (BB 06/2006)
Dark ruby color, small but steady coffee head, lace. Sour berries in the nose, also some roasted malts like in dark lager. Sourness mixed with chocolate, berry-like and candy sugar sweetness. Finishing quite watery. Mild sourness and decent carbonation makes this quite easy Flemish sour ale.
