Colour of Coca-Cola; head idem ditto, and not more stable. Nose starts with chalk, bit nutty, brown bread, ending in buttermilk. Very bready taste again, with a lactic aroma retronasal, sourish palate. Watery, thinnish texture. Very plain, unremarkable. doesn't even come near the real Oud Bruin style, or the old Anglo-Belge on which it is based. A dark, lactic lager.

This one has virtually no head, it should be named more something like 'tafelbier'. The taste is ok, but too weak. Seems like I don't like beers like these.

Dark with a smallish head, sour/brett aroma. Sour fruity grape/plum flavour. Thin acidic finish.

Served pretty cold, which made the head die quickly. Dark ruby color. Tart aroma of cherries. Decent flemish sour.

May 2003 (BB 1998). Dark red-brown coloured, small head. Typical flemish sour ale aroma, sour and fruity, very good. Not as full-flavoured as i was hoping for. Very watery finish.

Red-brown colour, brownish head. Sweet, little malt aroma. Salt flavour, little sweet and fruity too. Not good at all.

very uncomplicated but decent rodenbach substitute. nice dark red colour with offwhite head that styx around. smooth and shallow maltiness followed by slightly tart finish.

surprised that no one else seems to like this. it’s pretty low on flavour but pleasantly woody and drinkable
