| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Aug 13, 2009 750ml shared by CaptainCougar at the DC Local Gathering. Sweet and sour Flemish Red aroma. Some vinegar, lots of Brett. Amber brown color, murky. Lacy head. Lacks complexity oddly enough, seems to lean on the Brett to achieve a quality feel. Somewhat thin in it’s pungently sour way. For a sour-freak like myself, this doesn’t quite live up to the expectations. nimbleprop (947), SouthWest, Washington, Washington DC, USA

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Aug 11, 2009 Bottle; a very unique and nice aroma. Sour fruit, yeast, brown malt, and vanilla. Flavor had a nice balance. Brown malt, fruit, balance, and yeast. Really could taste the base beer and the barrel aging was very nice. Excellent. marcus (1902), Sacramento, California, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Aug 7, 2009 This reddish copper ale poured with a decent off-white head and an intense vinous oak aroma. The flavor is quiet fruity and tart, reflecting the extensive barrell aging. This is a subtle sour ale that sits well on the palate. Very pleasant. DaSilky1 (2025), San Diego, California, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jul 24, 2009 Reddish smokey quartz color settles with a perfect microbubbled rim of lace inducing off-white. Tannic vinious nose, boozy, tart, oxidized sherry, alcohol soaked raspberries.lots of alcohol in the nose actually, with deep, thick tart fruits. Tart and ashes in flavors, dry sugarless raspberries, white wine...the body is deep and alcoholic but not necessarily too thick. The flavors are laid out pretty clean and there’s no off flavors getting in the way. I think the only thing I need to make this exceptional is a thick body...but it still not thin, so its pretty close to being top fucking notch.
