Bel rubino-colore ambrato,schiuma cremosa. Profondo aroma di aceto, legno, zucchero, lievemente fruttato.In bocca è vellutato, perfetto equilibrio tra dolcezza e acidità; delicate note di ciliegia.

Dec 13, 2009 1996 33 cl bottle shared by psprings at Hellbilly’s Feb. tasting - Pours a hazy amber color with no head or lacing. Aroma is tart fruity esters and a hint of vinegar. Flavor is much of the same and it actually tastes pretty good. Not as sour or tart as some of the others I tried. Medium body. I don’t know if it’s the quality or the age of the beer, but this is one of the better Sours I’ve tried. Thanks Paul.

Nov 1, 2009 #700 - Bottle shared by the South FL crew. HUGE thanks! Vintage 1989. Poured a murky red/brown. Nose is ripe fruits, fig, grapes, over-ripe cherry, some earthy wood, lactic sourness, funk, basement, musty and vinegary. Flavor was insane! So complex. Ripe fruit, tart cherries, sweet malt, burnt sugars, cinnamon, wood, musty earthy cellar, oxidation, tart acidity, apple cider vinegar, fig, and prune. Unreal!

Oct 26, 2009 Bottle best-by 1995. Looks good. The beer in the glass copper-brown, small head. Fruity aroma. Starts very, very fruity with woody notes, cherry, also quite sourish, but soft at the same moment. Really goes down like velvet. Incredebly drinkable. An awesome beer!

Oct 13, 2009 Bottle several times over the years. I never really rated it as much as Grand Cru which to me has a more delicate balance. I alwas found this a little too sweet at the expense of the sourness. It’s a shame that it’s been retired and maybe those bottles still around have aged superbly. I am keen to find out.
