Mar 24, 2008 Bottled. Dark red/brown, small beige head. Woody, sour aroma. Apples, pears. Tart. Taste like a fantastic sour ale should: sour, apples, vanilla. It’s dry and tart, but lack the woody flavours and some of the complexity that its big brother has. Very balanced.

Mar 17, 2008 Clear sangria color, low carbonation, minimal head, low retention. Aroma of sangria, cherry, mango and iron. Tart and a litlle sweet with a faint metallic bitterness. Medium mouthfeel, finishes abruptly. It lacks the oakiness and tartness of the Grand Cru. Very accessible for a sour ale, not bad but Grand Cru does it better.

Mar 10, 2008 Poured a hazy dirty brown color with little head. Dry fruity aroma, This was my first sour ale, really caught me off guard was much more sour than I expected. Once I got used to the idea of it be so sour it’s a really good ale small sips for me, very tart fruity flavors, almost like a malted sour candy. sweet.

Mar 9, 2008 ZBF2008: From tap. Pours hazy and dark brown with a lacing tan head. Dry and light roasted malt. Flavour holds that rather fruity towards cherry flavoured Rodenbach yeast with a distinct ether note. Light roasted malt flavour too. Slight sharp spiced flavour towards the finish. Goes slight dry.

Mar 8, 2008 I had one sour ale before and I have been waiting to try another one for quite some time. This was a solid beer. Pours brown with a very thin head. The aroma is of sour fruit, mostly cherries. The flavor is only slightly sour...I was actually hoping for a little bit more mouth puckering from it. Still very good and drinkable though.
