Oct 1, 2009 WTWBA, 2009. Red. Moderate carbonation. Sweet balsamic vinegar with real sour cherry flavor. Far from the most sour beer I have had, but good sourness flavor. Good complexity.

Sep 30, 2009 GABF 2009, Big sourness, cherry tartness, tart acidity, mouth-puckering tartness. Solid sour cherry aspect, nice mouthfeel, One of the largest lines @ GABF & rightfully so

Sep 30, 2009 9/28/09 notes: poured at GABF, sampled twice. Pours red-brown with almost no head. Aroma and flavors display overlying sourness, complemented subtly with tart cherry, strawberry, and cherry. Really wel balanced, finishing with apple cider vinegar. Good twang to this beer. My lasting impression is that Sang Royal is a handsome twist on a Flanders Red style, amped up Cascade style.

Sep 29, 2009 draft @ Uber - thick, dark red with heavy off-white head; resiny nose with rich mix of cherries, dark fruit, malts, oak; quite wine-like; mild fizz on the lips with sweet tartness from the cherries; lots going on here; tartness and sweetness balance out well; i think the port adds another level of richness not found in the Sang Noir

Sep 27, 2009 GABF 2009: between GABF sessions and Dr. Bill’s tasting, I think I drank more of this beer than any other over the GABF weekend. Pours a muddy reddish brown color with a full, fluffy light brown head. Nose is a nice, sweet, cherry vinious dark complex thing, i must say. Flavors pretty much reiterate that nose...sour cherry, dark malt complexities, clean as can be...tart as fuck and lovely.

Sep 27, 2009 Sampled at GABF 2009. Muddy brown pour. Sour, funky, oak, and tart cherry aroma. Very tart lemon flavor with a slightly vinegary taste as well. Exceptional.

Sep 27, 2009 Updated: Dec 15, 2009WTWBA 2009. A very cherry sour aroma with the usual funky notes I’d expect. The port comes through very mildly which was nice - I was worried it might overpower. Very similar flavor profiles. I have a bottle of this coming in trade and can’t wait to spend a little more time with it!

Sep 26, 2009 Updated: Sep 27, 2009750ml bottle from Todd of all places ... Pours a muddled dark amber caramel brown with a very light beige head... Aroma is very la folie like with tart/sour cherry and wood notes. Light caramel backbone... Flavors are wood, cherry , and wood with lighter caramel notes. Soft and less compelling then say la folie but still self-deserving. Light and creamy mouthfeel. I do like this so i say yes
