Dec 30, 2008 Slight honey sour nose. Poured amber color with medium head, slight haze. Was a bit candy sweet, some notes of sourness, but not nearly enough. Medium carbonation with a full body, finish was sugary. Not horrible, certainly not what I was expecting. Might be an OK started for someone to try the style, but the Cuvee Rene is far superior and a clear choice over this one.

Dec 20, 2008 bottle, Auchan Illkirch-Graffenstaden. Hazy deep golden yellow, nearly amber, small fluffy head. Sweet-sour and fruity nose. Sweet and sour flavour dominate, not as sour as other Gueuzes, not as sweet as some other commercial ones. Well-balanced, pleasantly fruity. A really thirst-quenching and refreshing beer.

Nov 27, 2008 Bottle: Pours a rusty bronze/deep orange with a wispy off white head. Relatively sweet aroma for the style, seems Faro-like. Just a hint of wild fermentation- damp wood, along with rotted apple sweetness. Very underdeveloped. Light body, mildly carbonated, and very sweet for the style. (This isn’t a Faro?) Sugary, sweet marmalade, with a nondescript sweet fruitiness overall and old wet wood. Finishes clean. It lacks depth with no real funk or sourness. Has just a bit f musty character. It seems like a Faro.

Nov 18, 2008 $4.999 bottle from PP bottle shop. Amber color. Quickly vanishing head. Some skunk in the aroma. Lots of apple and iced tea flavors. Mild tartness. Not very good.

Oct 24, 2008 Bottle thanks to David. Amber dark golden body with some floating sediment. Surprisingly large white head. Sour wood aroma; sweet. Notes of cork, must, cheese, apple juice, cider vinegar, and cherries. Sometimes reminiscent of a Flemish red in an odd way. Overall, incredibly sweet and not very impressive.

Oct 24, 2008 Picked up at Maruhn Getränke in Darmstadt. Pours a deep cloudy golden color. Aroma is sourish, musty, yeasty. It has lively carbonation. Flavor is a sour vinegar like taste with some light creaminess and a hint of sweet. Can really taste the funk in this one.
