Feb 3, 2008 Really interesting red-tinged brown with a relatively white eggshell head developing. Aroma is quite acetic with prominent oak as well, cherries, dried cranberries, light acetone. Very punchy sourness up front which quickly fades, leaving sour and sweet cherries, complex woodiness and a lightly bitter, tobaccoey finish. Great stuff, ridiculously drinkable.

Feb 3, 2008 Brown ruby with a thin tan head. Aroma is alcohol, oak, a rum like tinge to it, a little bit of caramel, vinegar and dried fruit. Taste is a very pleasant sourness, light alcohol, black cherries.

Feb 3, 2008 330 ml bottle from Holiday. Dark reddish brown with a fizzy head. Vinegar, fruit, and oak in the aroma. Really nicely balanced between the sweet and sour tastes, cherry, vinegar, and oak dominate with some lemon tartness to the finish. Quite good.

Feb 3, 2008 July 2006 - Aroma of vinegar and cherries. Flavor was sour from the vinegar and some sweetness from fruit (I think cherry). Of course it’s tart, but sweet, too. I’m digging it....not that I know what I’m digging, as I haven’t had many of these. This seems like the perfect blend of tart and sweet.

Feb 2, 2008 Had a glass at Buster’s on 28th. It wasn’t quite as sour as regular Rodenbach, but very smooth and a very welcome option at a local bar.

Feb 1, 2008 Brown colour, thin beige head. Sweet malt aroma under lots of sour/tartness. Complex flavor - sweet (sugar/brown sugar), some oak, fruity (cherry, raisin, lemon), and very sour. But there’s enough sweetness to make this very refreshing. Dry finish.

Jan 31, 2008 Pours dark ruby/raspberry color with 1-finger head that dissipates quickly. Aroma is of cherry, raspberry, a bit of wood, but not much. Initial flavor is tart cherries, less so than Belgian Red but very noticeable. The finish is sour, but not overly sour in a bad way. Well balanced between the sweetness and the sourness. Thought this was pretty solid, would buy it again.

Jan 31, 2008 12 oz. bottle, 2007 pours with perfect appearance, fantastic deep, dark raspberry color, but head rapidly fades to almost nothing. Aroma is a mix of sweet fruit and vinegar, offputting at first but inviting towards the end. Flavor is complex, producing different accents of flavor with each taste. Predominant flavors are cider vinegar, rhubarb, raspberry; finishes with a little sour cherry. Finally a sour ale I really enjoyed. Found the balance between, sour and sweet exceptional. Overall, impressive and unique. Now for a little to cheese to finish it off with.
