Valley Brew Decadence Grand Cru 2007

I agree with the more sweet than sour comments. Nice malty character, chewy and strong.

<b>7/28/2007</b>: Valley Brew Decadence Grand Cru has a golden color with a pink hue to it. Mellow, soft cherry, tropical fruits, some acidic sourness, and some vinegar grace the beautiful aroma of this beer. This beer is mildly sweet with tropical fruits, some malt, and a hint of alcohol (which pops out more when the beer warms up). There is a bit of white wine flavor in the mid-palate and some bitterness in the finish. It addition to the wonderful flavor, this beer has a soft, smooth, mellow, and milky texture. This is a really, really good Grand Cru!

Stone Sourfest. Enjoyable and interesting. Honey on the finish. Malty and sweet up front. Nice for a 12% sour.

Sampled at the Stone Sour Fest. More sweet than sour, but I love a good sweet beer. Some cherry and berry flavors on the aromas. Some more on the flavor with touches of citrus too. Very nice.

On-tap at Stone Sour Fest. Pours cloudy brown orange with a moderate sized head, specks of lace. Smells sour and malty with some vinegar and alcohol. Tastes sweet and alcohol malty, some sweet fruity citrus notes. Full body, subdued carbonation.

Dirty sloppy brown color with a slight orange tint and nothing on top in the way of head. Very plump peach aroma with floating soil notes. Peach flesh flavors with hotness behind it...very chewy mouthfeel, quite meaty in fact. I’m having a really hard time finding y notes of a 3 yr old pomegranate lambic. It’s a nice chewy ale though. On another note, why would the Ratebeer spell checker not recognize the word "Lambic" or even "Ratebeer" for that matter?

Sampled at the Second Anual Stone Sour Festival on 7/20/2008. One of my favorites of the afternoon. Where can I get more?

On tap at Stone’s Sour Fest 2008. Wow. Excellent. Probably my favorite of the fest. Cloudy amber color. Sweetish. Mild sourness. Nice bite on the finish. Thicker body.
