Brewed by Brouwerij De Regenboog
Style: Belgian Strong Ale
Assebroek-Brugge, Belgium

Murky brown pour with a thin light brown head. Aroma of yeast and tart fruits. Good flavor of yeast and fruits with a strong sourness that remind me of flemish sours. The body is light to medium with medium carbonation. Very interesting.

Bottle: Pours a clear copper color with a big off white head. Aroma, spices, yeasty, some honey, and some sugary sweetness. Flavor, honey, spices, light tartness, some sweet fruity notes, a hint of funk, oranges and banana towards the end. This was pretty good I thought.

Pours a dark amber with a nice white head. Super thick sediment on the pour, and the nose gives off a real sweet/sour character. Nice tart apple like bite on the front palate, with the honey, and great spiciness following into the finish.

Cloudy brown color; poor head retention. The aroma has a lot of caraml with a touch of fruits. Medium body strength, caramel flavor, with some sweetness and a light sourness, making it refreshing. Good.

Bottle.

Pours a murky brown; aroma has some brown sugar, some berries, and a powerful nose of beeswax. Flavor is a touch sour along with the sweetness; malt driven, cherry and apples. Neither dry enough to be refreshing, nor sour enough to be sour, but off-sweet enough not to really be dessert either. I’m left lukewarm.

Strange, and possibly bad, but I could not tell for sure. Sourand sweet, but in a bad artificial way. Murky brown color, below average "sour" smell, and strange. Below average for this brewer.

330. Pours deep murky brown with a thick, fizzy white head that falls quickly away to a slim rim of foam. Enormous sour funky nose, almost unbearable. Thick body, but not oily or sticky. Fizzy. Sour-forward attack. Figs, raisins, honey, caramel, and humongous lemony sour funk all over the place on the mid palate. Tangy pucker of a finish. Not a whole lot of fun, but maybe the sour freaks will feel differently.

very dark murky brown with a large creamy tan head. aroma is hard to pick up but i notice some brown sugar and raisins and belgian yeast. flavor is lightly sour with notes of grapes, lemon, brown sugar, raisins, cherry, caramel, nutmeg, and cinnamon with a bready finish. i like it. who is this guido character?
