| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Apr 17, 2005 A tasty flemish sour that’s remarkably like Duchesse de Bourgogne. Very sweet yet also slightly tart. Quite true to the best the style has to offer. Delicious golden red/brown color with a thin beige head. Enjoy. thegreenrooster (1835), St.louis, Missouri, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Mar 25, 2005 Pour is a deep ruby red with no head at all. Aroma is very interisting. Its sort of a winey almost vinegar aroma. Just the right amount of mustyness to leave you guessing. FLavor is a sour cherry with a woody backbone. Kinda weak flavor brings down the beers rating but it is still a very interestion brew. A bit more alcohol could help. Probiere (992), Iowa, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Mar 14, 2005 Deep clear ruby color. mild aroma of cherry and acidity, also nuts. Taste a bit vinegary and fruity, but not enough depth of either. Finish sour and chalky. Not bad. heemer77 (4304), Savannah, Missouri, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 10, 2005 Dark ruby body when held up to the light. Traces of a head. Aroma of sour cherries and wood. There is a hint of leather. The taste is slightly sour with chocolate, cherries and some apples. Very light in the mouthfeel. Finishes with dried apricots. This is a great summer beer. wunderbier (1267), Tampere, Finland
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Mar 7, 2005 Updated: Apr 18, 2005A nice balance of vinegar sour and cherry sweet in the aroma. Sweat (in a good way) yeast aroma. Deep ruby-red color with a nice, tall off white head. Moderately sweet and sour at the beginning with a moderately sweet and bitter finish. Sourness fades at the end and is replaced by cherry tartness. Medium full body, slick texture, average carbonation. The bottom line is: I wish the sourness stuck around for a while longer, but very solid. Thanks for splitting Em.
Re-re-rate...I’ve had this two times since the original rating and it stays at 4.0...good stuff. Vac (2389), San Diego, California, USA
