Commercial Description:
This beer was brewed in sept. 06 and has since then been aged in oak barrels until bottling on March 22. 2008. The beer is blended for roundness but is still very sour and a little bit acetic. We think our first attempt has been a great success and we will definitely try this again.

Flaske: Flot brun øl der gushede lidt da den blev åbnet. Sød karamel i duften med en svag tone af surhed. Brandvarm i munden men stadig overraskende smooth og drikbar. Virkelig en positiv og lækker overraskelse. God øl.

Bottle. Poured a clear dark brown-orange color with a light brown head. Smelled of old socks (in a good way) cherry, red wine vinegar, and spices (particularly clove). Medium bodied with pleasant moderate acidity. Cherry, red wine vinegar, and mixed spices came out in the flavor. Yum.

500 ml thanks to Cmillard. Pour a dark brown with traces of purple. Very nice nose. Lots of red wine along with some other dark fruits, plums, unfermented red grapes and nice oak aroma behind it all. A little too much acetone comes out in the flavor for my preference, but I know many will enjoy that aspect.

Dark brown color; creamy head; high carbonation. The aroma is sour, woody, and with some caramel; dusty. Good body strength, good caramel flavor, light residual sweetness and light fruity touch; it has a medium level of acidity, but mostly acetone; vinous oak. It’s a difficult beer, quite aggressive, and not very stylish. I can expect people liking it just because it’s sour, but...

(Bottle) Pours dark mahogany with a pale nougat coloured head. The aroma is heavily funky and spicy (cardamom, vanilla and mild nutmeg) with tones of (oak) wood, muddy earth, black cherries, green apples, blackberries, balsamic vinegar, citric acid, lacto, sticky figs, candi sugar, mouldy wood/basement and horse blanket. Bit too medical/chemical to really be enjoyable. Mild oxidized hints of leather. The nose is typical for the style, yet unpolished. The flavour is light sweet, light bitter and medium acidic. Tones of old oak wood, spices, medicine, citric acid, green apples, vinegar alongside hint, mould and horse blanket. The mouthfeel is full and round. The finish is mouldy and acidic sharp Medium bodied. Not perfect, but this is still the best brewery in Norway.

Dark red colour, with a big creamy yellow head. Aroma of sournes,fruits, malts and some caramelly nose in the end. Flavor had a nice smouth sour/citrus malty mouth feeling. Medium body. This was a nice mild sour beer. This beer will be nice to fruits and chees in sted of red wine. Well done Handbryggeriet!!

Bottle. Not my cup of beer, although I like sour ales. The flavor is too acidy without being anything else really. I don’t like the strange aftertaste either.

Bottle. Pours dark mahogny. Aroma like an ordinary flemish sour ale. Taste is way to sour and acidic to be enjoyable, poured most of it in the zink.
