Piro Bruin

Brewed by Verhaeghe
Style: Sour Ale
Vichte, West-Vlaanderen, Belgium

(33cl bottle) Pours a brownish amber body with a medium off-white head. Aroma of mustiness, white grapes, old books, balsamic, and light grain. Flavor of subtle sourness, raisins, light cherry, wood, and vinous.

Cloudy dark amber color. Light sour and fruity aroma. Light body structure, some sweetness, light fruity touch. Ends with some strawberries. Simple among the Flemish Sour Ales, but still quite good.

Brown reddish coloured with a small off-white head. Nice malty and fruity aroma, some raisins, and cherry? Medium body, light sour, with a good balanced finish, sweet-sour. A nice Flemisch sour ale.

Dark brown colored, medium sized beige head. Sweetness, mild chocolate, raisins, sourness and some aroma from port wine, fine aroma. Medium bodied. Mild vinous tones, raisins, sourness and cherries in flavor, mild metal in aftertaste. Some lace in glass.

Bottled: Reddish brown coloured. Huge dense brownish head. Has a huge vinegar nose. Notes of prunes. Flaovur is full of vinegar as well. Is sour and has a balanced fruityness. Is dry and medium bodied. Ends on light sour fruitnotes. I really dig this beer.

Bottled (BB 09/2006)
Dark red ruby, small steady off-white head. Aroma of vinegar, coffee and plums. Slightly sour, same time sugary, roasted flavor. Quite "easy to drink" Flemish sour ale.

(Bottled) Clear, dark reddish amber color with a small, lacy head. Sweet, somewhat sour aroma of raisins, plums, cherry and port, with a hint of metal. Sweetish flavor with a slightly sour background, roasted malt and some metal. Medium-bodied, a bit thin palate with foamy carbonation. A decent and drinkable, sweetish flemish sour - but not very memorable.

Balsamic nose that is earthy, rust brown color. Sour malt, raisin, cherry. Medium body with nice tart end. Decent sour ale.
