Dec 8, 2008 Updated: Apr 22, 2009Draft at capones. Pours a beautiful ruby body. Cherry tart with a tinge of vinegar in the aroma. Lightly tangy with balsamic notes and lemon. Had again at Rattle N Hum tonight, nice Flemish cherry character and a light oak accent. A fantastic brew for sure.

Dec 4, 2008 Incredibly dark ruby, clean white fluffy head. Tart kriek aroma, some vinegar. Quickly sweet of ripe cherry then explodes with tart brashness. Lemon rind finish, actually gets more sour with each sip. I love this beer!

Nov 29, 2008 Growler courtesy of Alexsdad06. Pours red/brown with a thin white head. Tastes tarte with a nice vinous quality. Venry dry with a great hint of residual sugar quality. Very surprising.

Nov 28, 2008 On tap at Capone’s. Poured a medium to deeper reddish/brown color with a smaller sized off white head. Aromas of wood (the wood really came out as it warmed up), earthy, light funk, and cherries. Tastes of wood, cherries, some vanillla, and lightly vinous. This was fine, but I kept thinking I want my sours to be a little more ’sour and tart’.

Nov 21, 2008 On tap at Toronado SF. This dark brown ale poured with a thin beige head. There is a smooth sour brown flavor that gives this beer a Belgian feel. This is a well-crafter brew that holds up to the better Belgian examples of the style. It’s Rodenbach on steroids.

Nov 20, 2008 On tap at Tyler’s in Durham.
Poured opaque burgundy, in appropriate Ommegang Rouge glassware (nice touch). Aroma of cherry. Oak finish mellowing the sourness and slight apple-vinegar flavor, very acidic. Medium carbonation. Solid, clean finish. Good american rendition of flemish red that could’ve gone more sour to style but oak aging took some of the edge off. Not an everyday sipper but definitely a welcome style to add to a good line.
