Sep 21, 2005 Clear and bright red with a big loose pinkish head. Sour candy aroma with some floral hops and old milk. The tartness in the flavor is overwhelmed by the sweetness. Some oak in the caramel sweetness. Not bad.

Sep 19, 2005 Interesting aroma - berries, caramel and butterscotch, balsamic vinegar - like some kind of italian dessert. Clear ruby-brown color, decent sized tan head. Flavor matches the aroma with a little brett funk thrown in, however it is over-sweetened - almost tastes like it has high-fructose corn syrup in it. Full bodied, kind of syrupy. Not a bad beer, I just wish they didn’t sweeten it so much - it would be better if they let some more dryness and acidity come through.

Sep 18, 2005 Dark brown/ruby. Hissing bubbly, tan head disappears quickly. Wild yeast, fruit in the aroma. Sweet and sour with wild yeast and nice malt backbone, crisp hops, dark berries- very refreshing. Easy drinking medium body with some tingling carbonation. Very good.

Sep 15, 2005 12oz bottle stamped 11/27/2005. Clear dark brown body under a dense tan head which leaves thick, solid sheets of lacing. Very assertive dopplebock-like aroma. It has a dark raspberry/plum malts wrapped up in a fruity yeast with oak providing a drying background element. Chocolate creaminess as well. The emphasizes the fruity parts of the aroma but now they’re NOT dopplebock-like just straight-up raspberries and blackberries with oak and aged leafy hops offsetting the sweetness. The flemish sour tartness appears in the finish but it balances the sweetness rather than provides a leading flavor element. Both the aroma and flavor do remind me of cough syrup but only in the tastinest way! I always did like the stuff. Creamy medium mouthfeel with the faintest carbonation zip. This stuff is a worthy alternative to Rodenbach Alexander. Delicious and underrated.

Sep 13, 2005 Bottle. Pours a deep brown color with ruby highlights seen when backlit. Very nice, long-lived off-white head forms and leaves great lacing behind. Aroma is pleasantly sour with hints of sugary sweetness. Body is light and well carbonated. Flavor runs to the sweet side of things, slight tartness is present but just doesn’t really pack the punch of other Flemish Sours. Begins to get a bit medicinal towards the end of the glass. A mild example of the style. Fair.

Sep 7, 2005 Dark mahoganey in color with a thick white pillowy cap. Balsamic vinegar prominent with a hint of vanilla and maple syrup aromas. Sharp smack of acidity followed by green apple flavors. Sweet and sour flavors meld into a pleasant dry finish.
