Bottle from Willems in Grobbendonk. Poors very dark brown, nice, red shine, no head. Aroma: sour with light lactic touch, distinct chocolate roasted malts, hints of vanilla and wood. Taste very sour, red fruits, tasty roasted malts. The sourness is distinct but lacks a bit of taste ( only lightly lactic and some red currant ) but the chocolate malts are decent. Nice, creamy, chocolaty lingering aftertaste.
Bottle. Dark brown with red color, almost without foam. Aroma: wine, dried fruits, a little plum, red wine, a little jam. Taste: sweetish, caramel, wine, a little wine vinegar, tart, oak, a little dried fruit, pleasant.
Bottle 50cl. as Alvinne Morpheus Undressed Foederbier, bought 27/11/2015 (bbd 10/2019, lot foe), @home poured into a tumbler. Strong sour cherries nose; deep ruby brown, thin beige foamy head, mostly diminishing, almost no lacing; aroma sour cherry, red fruit, wood, some cinnamon; taste medium sweet and sour, tart, cherries, red fruit, light vinegar; sticky sweet and sour aftertaste, cherries, woody notes; medium body, sticky texture, flat carbonation; quite nice and refreshing oud bruin.
Piana minimalna, sycząca, szybko opada do zera. Barwa czerwono miedziana, ze sporym osadem na dnie butelki. W aromacie czerwone owoce, wino, ocet balsamiczny. W smaku umiarkowanie kwaśne, jednoznaczne skojarzenia z octem jabłkowym, czerwonym winem, kiszonką. Niskie wysycenie, dość proste, lekko cierpkie w odbiorze.
Ogólnie bardzo mało się tu dzieje - kwaśność z lacto i w sumie nic poza tym.
Duft syrlig kant karamel malt kant, smag syrlig citrus eftersmag karamel sur og tør
330ml bottle from Favourite Beers, Cheltenham. Pours clear ruby brown with a minimal off white head. Aroma: tart berries, vinegar, floral, dried fruits. Taste: light to moderate tart, balsamic vinegar, red berries, fruity, intense, wood barrel. Medium body, light carb, oily texture, dry, tart finish
Bottle with an alternate lable. Foggy brown pour. Small beige head. Poor retention. Aroma: fruit, marmelade, vinegar, caramel. Light to medium body. The taste is fairly sour. Acetic, fruity. Brown sugar on ending. Overall, the sour side is over the top still it is very drinkable.
11.2 oz. bottle, consumed on 1-29-18. 2012 edition (five or six years of age). Pours dark brown with a moderate amount of taupe head. Nice color. Tart aroma features scents of bubblegum, cinnamon chewing gum, minerals, pond water, chlorine, carrots, toffee, caramel, hazelnut, bran muffin dough, cinnamon, and coriander. A touch salty in smell. Strange aroma, more interesting than it is good. Quite sour taste, much more than I expected. If anything maybe a little too sour, which I rarely say. Lemon juice and vinegar flavors. Tonic water. Cigar tobacco and generic smoked malts in the flavor (I have no reason to believe than any of the malt actually is smoked). Hazelnut, carob, and chocolate-covered raisin; there’s definitely a brown maltiness to the beer (as if “brown” is a flavor, but I think you know what I mean). Not as much complexity in flavor as I expected. My guess is that a lot more flavor notes are there, but they’re being buried by the very strong sourness. Light to medium body. Some fizz in the palate. Unremarkable palate effects. Somewhat disappointing overall, but not a bad beer and certainly different from most American sours. 6.4.7.3.13=>3.3
Bottle. Brown-reddish color with soapy eggshell head. Aroma is chocolate, berries, wood, . Taste is chocolate, wood, tannins, balsamico. Silky mouthfeel with low carbonation. Super stripped down, super complex, and super tasty indeed! I like!
Bottle @ No5, DØE tasting, Alvinne sour collection Undressed. Redbrown with a small head. Aroma of ripe fruit and light sourness, barrel notes. Flavor light sweet fruit, then heavy sour vinegar, ending dry. Medium bodied, medium carbonated. Aroma better than flavor, despite I really like sour ales.

Na wstępie zaznaczę, że lubię flandersy i zwykle je oceniam troszkę polubownie. Zaskakuje niskie wysycenie jak na ten styl. Zaskakuje też barwa, jest ciemne (wręcz bliżej klarownej czerni niż brązu), nawet przewijają się delikatne nuty kawowe/palone. Kwaśne srogo! Ale nie jest to jakaś dokuczająca kwaśność wykrzywiająca twarz. Jest górna granica normy, ale przyjemnie pod tym względem. Octu jest troszkę, szlachetnego. Ciut tanin i konkretnej cierpkości od beczki. Raczej słodkie, średnie ciało. Czerwone owoce, stylowo. Nie ma lipy, dobre piwo, zwłaszcza im dłużej się je pije, tym bardziej smakuje. Warto.
330ml bottle from Vanuxeem. Pours hazy dark brown, small creamy coloured head. Aroma has leathery nutty dark malts, sour. Taste continues with a good dark sour character, razor sharp, with burnt brown sugar, oak and pleasant sweetness. Very good.
Beavertown extravaganza. Light sour with added grapes aroma. A reddish brown. Thin dregs of a bubbly beige head. Medium sour. Some umami. Light - medium bodied. Slick. Flat carbonation. Astringent finish. 'Winey'. Decent.
500ml bottle from Zly Casy, Bottle Shop. Opaque dark mahogany, small head disappearing fast and completely, some lacing. Sweet and sour aroma, balsamic vinegar, oak, woody, red grapes, cherry, earthy and toffee. Medium bodied, medium carbonation, tart and smooth mouthfeel. Tart taste with green apples, cherries, balsam vinegar, oak, a bit vinous, sweetness from caramel and chocolate. Dry and tart finish.
Bottle thanks to Jeremy. Pours a hazy copper with small off white head. The aroma is leather, grape, oak, funk. Medium body, oak, leather, vinegar, light funk, good.
Bottle - Soured dark malts. Clear dark Amber with a small beige head. Soured dark malts with some dark sugars.
Sweet little bottle brought back from belg. Pours out crisp amber topped with a s head. Nose is nice cherries lots of wood barrel. Taste is more of the funky barrel and bugs.
Robe brune, pas de mousse. Nez acide, boisé, légèrement salé. Bouche aqueuse, acide, vineuse, vinaigre, puissante, mais sans excès. Note boisée et cuir léger. Douceur très légère malgré l’acidité franche. Acide citrique. Notes de fruits rouges. Finale acide longue. Corps très fin, texture lisse. Oud bruine légère, vineuse, acide, simple, rafraichissante.

Robe brune très foncée presque noire, zone de la paroi du verre tapissée de toutes petites bulles. Col très court beige, moyennement crémeux, moyennement persistant. Nez acide, fermentation spontanée sur une base de malt grillé, café noir, fruit rouge. Bouche fraîche et légèrement piquante : l’acidité franche convoit l’arôme de malt grillé, de marc de café. Un côté très fruité se révèle alors : groseille verte, fruit rouge, rhubarbe. Carbonatation très fine, texture aqueuse. rood bruin gourmand avec la touche morpheus d’Alvinne.
Robe brune foncée, presque noire, plate, pas de mousse, pas de bulle. Nez de malt grillé, pain grillé, café, cidre, pomme verte, citron. Attaque très acide, pomme verte, cidre, citron, en fin de bouche les arômes de grille (café, pain grillé) se devinent. Plate, bonne longueur, très forte acidité. Intessant mais vraiment pour les amateurs de bières très acides (dont je ne suis pas...)
Sample from plastic barrel at Foeders Amsterdam, The Netherlands.30.03.2017. Taste with kermis. Pour it dark brown color with no head. Aroma cherry, balsamic vinegar. Taste nice smooth and pleasent, salty, tartish, not agressive balsamic note, light sweet finish, medium sourness, medium body, slick feel, soft carbonation, long finish. Interesting.
Vom Fass im Muted Horn Berlin 2017-03 getrunken. Ein sehr typisches Sour Ale mit einer deutlichen, aber passenden Säure. Ein kräftiger Körper sorgt für Spaß im Glas. Hmmm Lecker!
330 ml bottle, bb 01.12.21. Big bad gusher! Aroma and taste is winey, oak wood, malt and red friut. Quite tart with light fizzy carbonation. Pretty nice Oud Bruin on the sour side with a perfect balance of tartness, oak and fruit. Great as a refresher for a warm spring/summer evening.
Heel veel hout in aroma en smaak, misschien iets te veel van het goede. Rood vrucht en mooi rood bruin. Licht wrang houterige afdronk.
the aroma is fruity and winy with shades of caramel, oak wood, tart fruits and yeast... the taste is sour, fruity and winy, with notes of sour berries, plum, red wine, apple vinegar and oak wood... sour, dry and tart aftertaste...
From a plastic container at Wateringhole. Brown with no head. Aroma of oak barrel, tart overripe dark fruit, light caramel and soft funk. Flavour is light moderate sweet and moderate sour. Medium bodied with very soft carbonation.
