Jun 25, 2005 Clear, reddish-bronze body and a soapy, light tan head. Big balsamic in the nose and flavor. There’s some serious acetobacter action here. Oakiness comes through and a fruity, cherry malt quality emerges as it warms. Some noticeable oxidation with a note of cardboard. Medium-high apparent sweetness and medium acidity. Good stuff.

Jun 12, 2005 Dark amber color. Light nose, with some sweetness, candi sugar and sourness. The flavor is too simple, more deceiving, light mouthfeel, poorer than the other Verhaeghe...

Jun 10, 2005 Sampled at le Mondial de la bière 2005. Pours a reddish brown color with a thick, diminishing offwhite head that leaves beautifull lacing on the glass. Sour aroma and flavor of cherries, the sour is balanced by some sweetness, the finish is mild and sweet. The body is light, the texture oily and carbonation soft. Very good.

Jun 4, 2005 Pours a deep nut brown with hints of ruby, 1/4 inch khaki head with lots of fine lacing. Smell is fruity and sour. Tart cherrry and vinegar.
Puckering and sweet. Lightly oaky with hints of vanilla. More sweet than sour. Could use a bit more sour to balance the sweet but lots of flavor. Full bodied with a lightly sour aftertaste. A pretty good Flanders red.

Jun 4, 2005 Brownish-red, big beige head. Aroma sour, fruity, funky. Flavor sour, fruity (cherries, plums, pomegranate,) funky, some oak. This is one where I don’t miss hops; enough is going on without them. Not full-bodied in a way that would involve heaviness, but thanks to the sourness it fills the mouth in a really nice way. I’m reminded again of why I became a beer geek.

Jun 3, 2005 Dark brown body with reddish glints and a thin off-white head. Sour/fruity aroma with some toffee and brown sugar notes. Taste is very well balanced and smoother than I was expecting. Some woody hints, and a respectable sour finish. Nice sour ale.

May 16, 2005 Calandro’s Supermarket, Baton Rouge, La., 11.2 oz bottle. Pours a dark crimson with a thin off white head. Sour aroma with a touch of vinegar and sour cherries. Flavor has an enticing, lip smacking sourness to it, reminding me of sour apple gum, old burgundy wine and vinegar. Very good "sourness" with good puckering flavor. Mouthfeel is excellent - puckers you up like a sour ale should.
