Jan 9, 2009 Brewed in Belgium....... Courtesy of AFI96, thanks Waylo. Pours a dark garnet color with a small off white head. Aroma of cherry wine and candy. Taste is of tangy fruits, malts, and oak. The mouthfeel was very foamy and sweet. I was sadden to find out there was scarcely any sourness in this Flemish ale.

Jan 7, 2009 Pours dark reddish brown topped by a small khaki head. Smells of cherry candy, grapes, red wine. The taste isn’t as sour as I thought it would be, the sour is there but is backed by a lot of sweetness. Flavors of cherry, banana, and grape. Finishes with a grape Jolly Rancher flavor. Not as impressed as I was hoping but I could easily drink this sour all night.

Jan 7, 2009 12oz bottle from Greens Buford Hwy. Best before July 31st 2008. Pours dark amber with a small tan head. Sweet and sour. Kind of applely. More sweetness that I would expect out of a sour beer, but I get lactobacillus isn’t that alcohol tolerant and requires heat and long times, which is enough to create sourness, but maybe not enough to eliminate sweetness. Buttery slickness, that I used to interpret as diacetyl, but now I think this is barrel plus acidity.

Dec 19, 2008 Pours a brownish red with a thin white head. Sour vinegar aroma with a hint of cherry. Malty cherry sour taste, slightly puckering. Very complex and interesting, the flavors meld together really well and would have to be one of my favorites of the style mainly due to the drinkability. Finishes with just enough tartness to make you want to come back.

Nov 28, 2008 33cl bottle from Swann Avenue Market (Tampa, FL). Pours a dark cola brown with hints of red; thin white head that provides little lacing on the glass and disappears almost immediately. Aroma is sweet and sour with notes of brandy, vinegar, sour white grapes, and spices. Flavor is a complex blend of malts and spices with notes of soy, nuts, ripe tart fruit, vinegar, tart cherries, some hints of wood. Syrupy and sweet with a slightly tart, slightly sweet finish.

Nov 21, 2008 Deep brown with red highlights. Sour cherries and woody vinegar in the nose. Very clean fruit especially cherries in my first sip with the astringent quality coming in behind. My mouth is watering as I write, waiting for my next drink. A nice refreshing mouthfeel and a classic West Flanders. Similar in character to a fresher Goudenband. Like it alot.
