Bottle. Pours a honey orange body with an off white head. Tart balsamic vinegar and wild yeast. Chewy cherry pit and skin with a light citrus accent. Sour chewy fruit, this is delicious and less acidic than la folie.

Shared by Rciesla. This reminds me a little of a better version of La Folie. Very good. Excellant flavor. Nice aroma. Nice Flanders Red.

Very nice, acidic aroma. In the Flanders Red style. Tons of yeast in this beer, both in the aroma and flavor. Cloudy, dark orange color. Fruit, some balsamic, and very good, sour flavor. Comparable to La Folie for sourness.

Pint – Bottleworks – Seattle, WA
Aroma: Big sour aroma with lots of Belgian yeast.
Appearance: Light amber in color, clear with a thin head.
Flavor: SOUR holy cow Batman this was sour. A huge beer that in time is going to settle down and become a true classic.
Palate: Dry Sweet Sour finish, with a Good Mouthfeel.
Overall: This was truly the most sour beer I have ever had in my life. It was also very drinkable just an awesome brew. To the Matt’s here to another 10.

Draft pour @ Brouwer’s Sour Fest 2009. Cloud dark copper brown body, somewhat muddy/dirty in appearance. Full on acetic nose, the Love character is so easily evident, the woody/nutty apple cider vinegar acetic acid, wonderful aroma. Salty, peppery, spicy, acetic. Bready, muddy, frothy, soft carbonation. Finishes prickly and spritzy. Seems like a dirtier version of La Folie/Love. Good but not great.

Bottle generously shared by theisti. Pours a cloudy amber-orange with a thin off-white head. The nose is a subtle vinegar-sour fruitiness with a faint candy sugar supporting note. Light to medium-bodied and slick with a tart/sour finish. The flavor is a tart, sour, fruity vinegar, but I find it much subtler in its presentation than many other sours. I really enjoyed trying this one. Thanks again, Tim.

Bottle thanks to AmEricanbrew. The smell is tar, fruits, yeast, sour, and funky. the look is amber in color with a decent foamy head. The taste is tart, fruits, tasty.
