iowaherkeye (1428), relocated to Santa Rosa f/Iowa, California, USA Jun 24, 2008 375mL, <i>Foeder 132, #006099</i> from <i>pepsican</i>. Clear caramel orange with 30 bubbles that took 10 seconds to fade. Lots of lemon and cherry sourness going on. Dry leather and wood are also present, as well as a bit of malt vinegar. Flavor is pretty sour again with a lot of leather, wood and all the same sour notes I stated in the aroma with some sour apple. A pleasant slight cereal grain sweet finish appeared after the semi-dry immediate finish, if that makes sense. Sourness/acidity probably peaked around a 5-6. Alcohol is covered very well, until after the 5th swallow there was a slight burn in the back of the throat. Medium body with just a slight tingle of carbonation, surprising since it was still. Really damn good.
castsbyfly (2), Bishop Burton, East Yorkshire, England does not count 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 (4306), Delft, Netherlands 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 (4779), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 27, 2008 Bottle shared courtesy of Jason. 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. Gar4016 (18), , Iowa, USA 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. Blom (368), Odense, Denmark Sep 29, 2008 Golden with no head. Sour and funky aroma - like wood, vinegar and wet soil. The flavour is acid and sour too. dominated by vinegar, white wine and bad apple juice. I don’t get this one and find it way beneath the Grand Cru.
