Cask at Engelbewaarder, Amsterdam. A hazy wheat colour, with a nice head. Looks very enticing. Quite sour nose, as well as sweet. Taste is overwhelmingly sour with tastes of citrus and lemon. Lots of wood flavour too. Interesting.

Draught at Brasserie de Zalm: Hazy dark amber with nice lasting head. Delicate fruity aroma of sour berries, spices, wood, leather and vinegar. Flavour is very sour, and sour dry finish. Low carbonated.

On Cask at the Engelbewaarder cafe in Amsterdam. Pours a still ruby hazy amber with a thin film on top that dissipates. Aroma is cherry pit, almond, moderate to high acetic acid, typical rodenbach character like the grand cru but not quite as vinously sharp and more smoothed out- with more woodiness as well. Tons of acedic acid in the flavor but not overwhelming- tastes like my flemish red after 3 years or so. cherry pit and wine like tannins with some old woodiness and earth, hhints of vanilla, and almond/cherry pit, a bit of sherry and some red wine and apple cider vinegar. Nice acidity on the tongue, and is nicely sour all the way through. This is great stuff. They should sell this at more bars around europe.
