Looks like I am one of the few people here not liking this sour red stuff.

Bottle. Brownish red color.Beige head. Sour ales are really not my type but since I never tried it before I took a bottle. Fruity acidy taste. Rather complex. Not bad

Pours an absolutely gorgeous deep runy color with a very small white head. Aroma is cherries, sour-wood and plum. The flavor is sweet and tart all at the same time with a really nice dry kick at the end. Really a wonderful Flemish sour.

If there was only one beer in the world, and this was it. I would be a happy man.

Bottle - 33 cl. The nose is rather vinous and vinigar-like with burned notes. The head is light brown and the body has theis deep brown with a redish edge. I taste grapes, hay, sour winegums and glue. It has a buttery and sparkling feeling in the mouth. Must admit that sour-ales doesn´t belong to my favorites...

This is a very palate cleansing beer. It is very carbonated and leaves a very sour taste in your mouth. A little too sour for me but over all a great beer.

I’m sorry but I just don’t get this type of beer. Reddish with a small head. Vegemite smell and a very sour and tart taste. Grows on you slightly.

Dark red coloured, tan head. Aroma is of sour cherry and wood. Flavour has sour fruits and wood. Complex beer.
