| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Feb 1, 2009 Had at the brewery during their open day in 2008. Citrus and bready flavours were dominant. It was extremely grainy, yet complex, with notes of fig, pear, apple, vinegar, and vanilla. Hides the alcohol well. Beer2000 (1828), Kristiansand, Norway
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jan 25, 2009 330 ml bottle. Clear golden body with a thin white head. A complex and lovely aroma of acid, wine and oak. Flavor is complex as well, sweet caramel and malt in perfect balance with a tart sourness, acid and oak together with sour and fruit. A finish that lives forever and surprisingly no signs of alcohol. I just love this beer. MiP (9099), Sønderborg, Denmark
| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 19/20 | Jan 8, 2009 Bottle, 10%. 2004 bottle, cask 132. Very nice aroma, mouthwatering citric, a bit like white wine. With a faint hint of mold. Clear amber colour, looks quite flat. It does have quite low carbonation. Small frothy head. The flavour is very citric, not vinegary, but getting very close. Has a little sweetness to balance. Again a faint hint of mold, probably the oak casks coming through ever so slightly. The aftertaste is of course citric, very cleansing, but it does not seem to hurt my throat. It does not really taste its 10%, perhaps the oak and the alcohol balance each other out.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 13, 2008 Golden coloured and clear. Has almost no head. But the colour is excellent. Sour aroma, almost acetic acid, sulfur. Some fruity notes too. Apple. Flavor is heavy acidic. Long duration. Had it with shimps, worked real fine. castsbyfly (2), Bishop Burton, East Yorkshire, England does not count | 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 10/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Dec 4, 2008 Tasted this great beer in a tasting house in Brugge. No head, very fine carbonation. Smooth taste and quite sour as your expect. After taste is of pure grain and bread. Not an every day drinker at 7+ euro each, but well worth a couple. jbrus (4893), Delft, Netherlands
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Nov 28, 2008 Bottle@Home. Amazing aroma, that’s all I can say! Clear, light amber colour, tiny head, no lace. Sweet, sour, apple, vinegar, wood. Soft and warming. Not a big complex beer but certainly fine and very interesting. hopdog (5609), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA

Poured a medium golden color with a smaller sized white head. Aromas of cheirries, light vinegar, wood, funky, and earthy. Tastes of cherries, vanilla, wood, and citrus. Nice sour finish.

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 25, 2008 Pours dark golden color. No head whatsoever, even when poured from decent height. Smells like cheese and sour grapes/apples from some yeast funk. Flavor is quite sour, my friend said ’’atomic warhead’’ but I wouldn’t go that far, still drinkable. Has a dry champagne feel to it, medium body that ends with a crisp malt flavor. You can certainly tell this was aged for a while, It doesn’t really resemble ’’beer’’ as much as something else, still quite tasty and drinkable though.
