Aroma is tart with refined wood character. Malt aroma is rich and elegant. Pours beautiful red-burgundy with off white head, that left some lacing. Flavor was strikingly sour, yet balanced and malty with slight woodiness - would drink this everyday.

Dec 10, 2009 On tap at Capone’s. Smells of sour cherries. Tastes of sour cherries. No head. That’s all to say. If you like a super smooth sour with cherry flavor and great red color, this is for you. Even if you don’t, try it just for the heck of it. Great beer.

Dec 9, 2009 Draft at trappeze. A great brew. Reminiscent of red poppy, but a little more full bodied. Great.

Dec 5, 2009 Aroma of tart apple and cherries. Murky red appearance with creamy head. Flavor of BIG tart apple vinegar with a sour cherry\apple finish. Palate was bubbly. Pretty good.

Dec 4, 2009 On tap at Capones. Served in a snifter. Dark red with no head. The aroma is very sour and somewhat acetic with lots of cherry and raspberry character. The initial flavor is very sour cherry with some funk coming forward. Mid-palate the sour diminishes and wheat dough, and olive flavors emerge. Sourness is nearly gone by the finish which is also slightly astringent. That initial hit though is quite amazing.

Nov 30, 2009 Draft Sampler at Tyler’s Taproom. Pours a red beer with a thin off white fine head. Aroma is very fruity and cranberry apple smell, very smelly. Flavor is Super sour right off, then a sweet bitterness. Very sour and very smelly, but good!

Nov 20, 2009 In short: An intense and slightly acidic Flemish Sour ale. Very good sipper.
How: Tap at Rattle ’N’ Hum, New-York
The look: Clear ruby body topped by an off-white ring of foam
In long: Classic Flemish sour nose with sour cherries and such. Taste is pretty much aligned with the classic Belgian Flemish sours except that this one seems more acidic than most. Typical Flemish Sour flavours of sour cherries, oak and friends with an extra dose of acidity. The sweetness, acidity and tickling carbonation made for a “Pop Rocks” candy sensation. This is a tasty Flemish Sour, this is not a session brew. I was told this is not oak aged, if this is the case then they did an amazing job at simulating that oak flavour of classic Belgian Flemish sours. Felt authentic to me. Very good brew. We call it the Red and it is very sour, just like a former leader of the Communist party now working as a grocery store clerk.
