Roli (286), laval, Quebec, Canada Feb 26, 2008 Brown-orange opaque color. Small head. Really sour...compared to a molson ex, with agrumes notes. Malty and kinda roasty. Boring finish with some kinda of chemical aftertaste. A not so pleasant experience. Boutip (1855), Gatineau, Quebec, Canada Feb 20, 2008 Bottle: Poured a light reddish color ale with a small bubbly head with no retention and no lacing. Aroma is very bland with some light generic malt and nothing close to a Flemish sour as mentioned on the label. Taste is again dominated by some light sweet malt with no oak, no tart notes or any sourness. Light body with limited carbonation. The experience of drinking this beer can be resumed as a big waste of time and money. blankboy (2687), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Jan 2, 2008 <i>Bottle (660ml) shared with HogTownHarry & GregClow -- courtesy of HogTownHarry.</i> Pours a clear dark golden-orange with an average size fast diminishing off-white head. Aroma starts with candy, sugar and fruit and then turns into cheap apple juice. Flavour: What’s this supposed to be!? Flanders Ale? As if! It’s watery apple juice along with light malt, candi sugar and a very light bitter finish. Light bodied. A completely useless beer. GregClow (2369), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Dec 19, 2007 Bottle tolerated with HogTownHarry & blankboy - HogTownHarry’s bottle. Clear sunset orange-red with a small head - actually looks pretty nice. Aroma is stale, a bit fruity, some hints of toffee, and lots of cheap apple juice. Thin body. Flavour - not even remotely sour, just watery and dead, with notes of stale malt and not much else. Figures that the one Breughel beer that’s SUPPOSED to be sour - isn’t. HogTownHarry (3361), Toronto (Harbourfront), Ontario, Canada Dec 18, 2007 <b>Bottle (650ml)</b>. <i>Dispairingly shared with blankboy and GregClow</i>. Clear copper, small bubbly head. Lysol, spoiled milk and pixie sticks in the aroma - but mild; cheap apple drink (thanks for that, Paul). Taste ... let me see if I get this right - this IS supposed to be sour (it isn’t) - yet all those other crappy PQ beers that aren’t supposed to be sour ARE? WTF? This tastes ... like nothing, really - stale, dead roast malt, weakly bitter, lightning quick finish, and a hint of stale aftertaste. On the palate, this is essentially water - flat, slightly sugary ... this is nothing, really - sour???
