Nov 29, 2008 Poured a chestnut brown body with a very quickly diminishing, off white head. Light balsamic vinegar, cranberries, and apples on the nose. Tasted of sour apples, lemon citrus, and a hint of white vinegar, pleasant. Bubbly and medium palate, watery, goes down easily. Good sour ale.

Nov 29, 2008 A solid drop, but too late to savour after dinner, as I did. Not so complex (obviously) it finishes with a TM sour finish. I prefer Duchess to this, but thats a personal preference. enjoyable

Nov 26, 2008 The bottle I got had an extremely low carbonation level. Poured nearly flat, with a dark amber color and no real head to speak of. Had the aroma of "sour patch kids" candy. Flavor was mildly sour, yet complex , light and refreshing at the same time.
I brought this beer home from Belgium, wish I had brought more than one bottle

Nov 21, 2008 Pours a dark amber with a bit of a white head. Good amount of lacing. Smell is of sour fruit and a bit vinous. Taste is tart to begin with but fades into sweetness leaving the slight vinegar taste behind. The finish is much smoother than the front and leaves a nice taste in the mouth. The carbonation is done well and complements the taste nicely.
Overall this is a very unique brew. The several stages in flavor lead to a nice complexity. I would not go out of my way to get this again, but it is definitely worth a try and I will again soon, I’m sure.

Nov 20, 2008 <b>Bottle:</b> Dark cranberry colored pour with a foamy tan head...very dry, woodsy nose with some fresh cherry notes and peppery malts. Light, crisp body...perfect. Flavor is yet again, dry and oak-y up front followed up by cherries and peppery malts. Though subtle, their is indeed the lactic tartness/sourness apparent which rounds it out nicely.

Nov 2, 2008 Bouteille de 25 cl. Arômes de fruits rouges, présentant une touche boisée et des notes d’acide lactique et acétique. Robe rouge foncée et translucide, peu de mousse. Plutôt mince, la cerise marque l’entrée en bouche et est suivie par des notes boisées et lactiques. Très légère présence vinaigrée. Agréable.
