May 20, 2007 2002 bottle shared by someone at DLD. Aroma was pretty sour and sweet both at the same time. A lot of belgian yeast notes coming through. Pretty tastey but will have to be compared to by 2004 bottle.

Apr 30, 2007 Updated: May 13, 2008One of the best sour beers I have ever had. Smelled sour and spicy. Taste was much the same, some sour funk, light malt, spices, an apple/cider taste, and balancing dark fruit. I liked this a ton better than the regular oerbier.
Re-rate: Really the same as I remembered before. Great balance, apples throughout, nice touch of funk. Great stuff. No chance I would guess this is 13%

Apr 19, 2007 2004; Color is dark amber with a small white head that dissipates quickly. Aroma has lots of tartness and a less pronounced plum and apple smell as well. Flavor is much the same, very "tarty" with apples plums and grapes and a slight bit of biscuit. Alcohol is very well hidden, medium to full body.

Apr 13, 2007 12 oz bottle - 2005. I drank this beer at Stuffed Sandwich. I ordered this thinking it was the regular Oerbier, and was caught by surprise by the sourness of this one. Lots of sour fruits and an almost wine like quality throughout. This beer kind of reminded me of a dark, robust temptation. Pretty good.
