Jan 29, 2005 My first Flemish sour. Poured gorgeously, amber-dark brown. Head stayed up like it was on Viagra, with more lacing than your grandmother’s doilly collection. Cirtus, honey, oak and cedar tones. Smooth on the palate, perfect carbonation. Sour after, with slight sweet stickiness. Can’t wait to try this again.

Jan 19, 2006 Smells a little sour. A nice reddish color. It seems to have some faint cherry flavor, and easily the lightest and smoothest Flemish sour I"ve had. Quite nice, almost lambic-like.

Jun 8, 2004 Bottle at the Cock and Bull Pub in Sarasota, FL. Pours a murky red/caramel brown color with a very attractive medium off-white head. Lacing is excellent throughout the glass. Beer can’t look much nicer than this. Aroma is sour grapes, vinegar, overly sweet fruit, light yeast and toffee, along with a mild barnyard character. A masterpiece of aromas, IMO. Flavor does not dissipoint. A sour vinegar start with some interesting butterscotch and farmhouse notes. The sourness is not overdone yet is prelevant in this beer. Finishes somewhat oaky with a nice medium body. This is really a great beer. I continue to love this style of beer.

Aug 6, 2004 Dark copper/brown with a great head. Bought a bottle at Dranken Geers in Gent. It has a malty, sweet aroma. It has that great Verhaeghe sweet/sour flavor with a hint of vinegar (in a good way). It must have the same base as Caves and Vichtenaar. Delicious, especially if you are an oud bruin freak like me.

Aug 1, 2004 Bottle at DrewLaPalooza 2004. Small sized tan head with fine-large sized bubbles that completely dissipated. Uncarbonated, transparent and a reddish-brown hue. Sweet, wine, alcohol, somewhat sour and fruity aroma. Excellent aromas! Yes, indeed! Sour, alcohol, wine flavor. Tingly mouthfeel. Medium bodied beer with sparse lacing.

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.
