Aug 18, 2007 On tap at Monk’s Cafe in Philadelphia. While not the best red I’ve ever had, I love this sour ale. It goes great with Monk’s very nice Belgian style food.

Aug 17, 2007 Pretty piss poor flemish red. Appearance was nothing to rave about. Very bland and nothing really jumping out flavor wise - mild tartness and thin/watery body.

Aug 16, 2007 Very sour and not hugely nuanced, this has the typical "wild" smells of the breed which take getting use to. Sweet and tart, along with harsh bitter notes (cherry pit). Sudsy, lively carbonation. Fairly refreshing despite all the crazy flavours going on.

Aug 12, 2007 Baby food apple aroma. Brown color, thick tan head, good lacing. Very sour apple taste, approaching vinegar, with cabbage notes. Nothing is left on the palate. It’s a bit like ketchup as it warms, but not necessarily unpleasant. This was my first sour ale.

Aug 8, 2007 More tart than overly sour with a nice blend of some apple and cherry flavors along with light acidity. Not the best lambic I’ve had but an excellent one to get those who haven’t had them into this style as it has some sweetness in it. I had the one with the Monks Cafe label.

Aug 6, 2007 Bottle under the Monk’s Cafe label. Very dark mahogoney brown with a off-white and quickly dying head. Classic sour aroma, sweet and vinegary. Tart and tight onto the tongue, viscously sour of course, almost better suited for a salad dressing than a snifter, but if you’re into these beers, this is a good one. (#3050, 8/6/2007)

Aug 2, 2007 I had the alias of this beer called Monk’s Cafe Flemish Sour Ale. Reddish color with decent head. Incredible smell, very sweet with a slight preview of the shocking sourness to come. First sip is a SHOCK. Think sweet tarts and vinegar, but in a good way (I know, hard to picture that being good...but it really is). Sweet, sour, and refreshing. Bought more, can’t wait to drink them.

Jul 29, 2007 11.2 oz Bottle - Pours light brown almost burnt orange color with a off-head that dissipated quickly, but left nice lacing. Aroma is crisp, tart, very wine-like, smells of fruit - particularly cherries. Flavor is sweet malts mixed with cherries, apples, with a hint of lemon - slight tartiness mixed with sweetness. A bit of a dry aftertaste, but finishes smooth and crisp with a sweet fruitness.
