Sammy (3934), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Jun 2, 2007 Expensive and unusual, this is not for anyone not appreciating tartness. White head on a golden body. Strong aromas, wine and cherry and wood. Complex taste of wine, cherry, wood. Balanced by malt, and while sour is not aggressive on the palate as I wouod expect. A sipper. Up there with the Cantillons but a top beer because of its similarity to wine?
holdenn (1432), Chicago, Illinois, USA May 29, 2007 3L bottle shared by drewbeerme at his wedding shower. Pours a clear glowing amber with a beige head. Nose of sour grapes, apples, oak, and brett. Whew that’s more sour than i expected. Grapes, pears, earthy, all around tart and oaky. The acidity is a little too much at times but this is a great beer. Big thanks to andrew for sharing this. MadIndian (987), Levittown, Pennsylvania, USA May 28, 2007 Bottle from Capones, thanks Stegosaurus. I don’t like flemish sours and this one doesn’t change my mind. Too bitter for my taste. It’s just not for me. I wont totally kill the ratings. xnoxhatex (1305), Grand Rapids/Chicago, Michigan, USA May 28, 2007 3 litre bottle, batch 2. Drewbeerme (also known as stripey) shared at his wedding shower. Red-orange with nice white head. Aroma was heavy brett, apple, citrus. Flavor was green apple, tart, a little acidic. Med body. F’n awesome. I loved this beer and thought it was pretty fantastic there was basically a never ending supply of it. tupalev (2605), Toronto, Ontario, Canada May 24, 2007 Bottle shared with Blankboy, biegaman, and Hogtown Harry, Harry’s bottle. Thanks for letting me crash your little tasting guys! Neat orange rust pour - thin slick white head. Love that colour! Really strong aroma - sour, cherry, cherry skin, vanilla, leather - complex and stunning. Taste is sour, acidic, almost a little wine like. Very quenching. No alcohol. Complex. Maybe just a tad too acidic after a while. A pretty stunning beer. axilla (962), New Providence, Pennsylvania, USA May 24, 2007 Gushed...Cloudy orange/brown with a rocky tan head. Musty nose with some oxidized red wine notes. Flavor had just the right sour/funk balance. Finished like a freshly opened Chianti. Lovin’ the sours!! MrBendo (1039), Swedesboro, New Jersey, USA May 22, 2007 Cloudy orange with a small head. Aroma of dust, funk, brett, oak and cherries. Vinous and tangy texture. Balanced and complex. Wonderful. jason (1620), Easton, Pennsylvania, USA May 21, 2007 Bottle batch#2. Poured a red ruby body with nice thin head. Aroma is musty funk, yeast and cherries. Flavor is slightly sour, sugar sweet cherries. Some oak being felt. Nice mouthfeel. A complex beer.
