"L’utilizzo, unico nel suo genere, di susine damaschine rende questa straordinaria birra ricchissima di calde e sensuali note fruttate che sanno contrastare le nette, seppur mai troppo aggressive, punte di acidulo e di citrico. Sorprende, nel palato, un equilibrio notevole, inusuale per birre con un PH così basso, equilibrio assicurato da una notevole pienezza e da un fruttato così imponente da farsi ricordare a lungo." - Lorenzo Dabove in arte Kuaska

Keg at London beer festival, so short rating. Aroma is sour apples/fruit and malts. Murky amber brown body with small head.
Italian cherry ‘oud bruin’ by Loverbeer, vintage 37,5 cl bottle from 2014. Initially thick and moussy, eggshell-white, quickly opening head eventually vanishing completely, over a hazy deep and warm orange-hued amber with brownish tinge, especially after adding the sediment, when the beer becomes all murky caramel brown. Refined bouquet of sweet cherries and cherry jam, strawberry yoghurt, marmalade, raspberry juice, dry white wine, honey, wet wood, orange juice, unripe yellow plums, basil. Very fruity onset, lots of sweet cherry drenched in a natural, unripe plum-, nectarine- and grape-like tartness of the beer, strawberry-like aspect too, softly carbonated; the tartness gently dries the palate but keeps being countered by the fruity sucrose sweetness till the end, aided by a soft, bready and caramelly malt sweetish base; ends vinous, very fruity and juicy and a bit aromatically herbal (basil, thyme) with close to no hop bitterness, a late earthy hop note aside. The cherry-induced sweet-and-sourness persists and makes this beer to remarkably well-balanced, almost wine-like, aromatic, elegant fruit sour, and in that sense a very good, albeit somewhat idiosyncratic and perfumey example of the style. Nice one if you prefer your sours with a lot of fruit sweetness embedded into the whole.

Brownish, hazy body, with a small, yellowish head.
Aroma of overripe fruits, leather, moderate vinegar, some berries.
Tastes similar, with more berries.
Medium, slick mouthfeel, with a low carbonation.
Finishes medium dry, a bit sweet, wooden, leathery, with overripe fruits, berries.
Very nice. Characterful and balanced, with leathery barrel notes and lots of fruits. Not outstanding, but very well to drink.
0,15l from tap at Arrogant Sour Fest. Bourdeaux like color, small white head. Smells sweet herbal, earthy, musty, wood, marzipan, nutty, weird smell but I dig it. Full body, light carbonation, slick mouthfeel. Tastes of berries, sweet herbs, bit citric, wood, nutty, marzipan. Finishes lightly dry and lightly sour with notes of citrus, wood and berry notes. Lovely
Bottle: Poured a clear reddish color ale with a medium size foamy head with limited retention and not much lacing. Aroma of tart notes with some cherry and oak notes also perceptible. Taste is a mix of tart notes with some cherry notes, some oak and subtle residual sugar notes with some hints of acidity. Body is about average with good carbonation. Enjoyable Flanders red style with just enough depth.
Bottle from LCBO. Vintage 2016. Pours an opaque deep pink colour. Aromas of grapes, plums, a whiff of citrus and some yeasty notes. Taste matches the aroma with some sour chetty notes and sour finish. Excellent sour ale.
Cosa volete che vi dica, le solite cose come al solito birra spaziale, da quel fenomeno di Valter...
Bottle. 2012 vintage. Beermoth, Manchester. Colour of red wine vinegar. Barely a head. Nose has tinned prunes. Red wine dregs. Juicy Fruit gum. Some wood and a bit of glue, oddly. It’s kept the plum character really well. Missus reckons it’s all stewed plum. Taste is nicely bittersweet, with light, tangy sourness. Juicy and soft mouthfeel. Light carbonation. Tangy finish that dries out as it goes.

Bärnstensfärgad, disig med litet storbubbligt skum som lägger sig snabbt. Fruktig syrlig doft med plommon, plommonkärnor och fattoner. Syrlig fruktig smak med mycket plommon och kärnor, fattoner, syrlighetet snörper ihop bak i munnen mot slutet. En underbar suröl, komplex både i doft och smak,. Brewdog Firenze.
Bottle at Fork&Bottle, vintage 2014. Pours lightly cloudy ruby-ish amber. Aroma is peach ice tea, light funk. Body is medium, lightly sour and tart, quite fruity, dark and red fruit. Soft carbonation. Quite sweet. Very astringent palate, immediately dries your mouth. Still fruity. Good!
Fruity: berries, strawberry, apple; Sour, like wild yeast sourness; a bit musty aroma as well; body is fresh and fizzy. You have to take some sips to get used to it, but after that it’s very nice and drinks easily.
Tap at Moeder Lambic Fontainas, 7th June 17. Pours a copper colour, aroma is pear drops, peach, sweet. Taste is light pear, prune, strawberry, peach, light sourness, especially after the Tilquin I’ve just had. Lovely stuff.
Cloudy deep bronze colour. Creamy beige head. Aroma is sour candy, pear, and tree bark. Taste is intensely sour , eventually evening out to some peach and pear undertones.
Vintage 2009. Bevuta il 13/05/2017 al bi&b birre e baguettes in Salerno, Italia. Schiuma bianca, sottile ed evanescente. Colore aranciato opaco, di prugna surmatura. Aroma intenso vinoso, lattico, citrico, fruttato. Corpo leggero, carbonazione lieve. Al palato è acida, fruttata, citrica, moderatamente astringente, persistente. Ottima birra.
Thnx to George ! Pours unclear, dark amber, small white head. Smell is somewhat fruity ( grapes ? ) sourness, some oak. Taste is full, intense, dought, malty, mildly sour ( less than the scent gave ) some fruits ( still think its white grapes) Very decent body, carbo, and balance. Nice intensity.
Backlog, ocena przepisana z untappd, w ramach uzupełniania profilu na ratebeer.
Aspetto: bellissimo rosso limpido, schiuma bianca ma quasi inesistente. Aroma: decisamente agrodolce, fruttato (frutta dolce e matura) e vinoso, con anche chewing-gum e floreale. Gusto: decisamente agrodolce, con forti sentori di frutta matura, soprattutto prugna, che permane anche nel forte e lungo retrogusto, dove sono presenti anche freschi sentori citrici. Carbonizzazione e corpo medio/bassi. La birra scivola benissimo ed è appagante.
Bottle at Brewdog (2014 vintage). Copper color, white head. Sour taste with citrus, winegum, tart, cherry, grass and a bit of sour apples. Sour finish with citrus, winegum, tart, sour apples and acidic notes. Very nice sour ale.
Fra flaske på Mi2 Cardinal feb-17: uklar gylden med svakt rødlig skjær. Aroma og smak av bringebær, jordbær, kunstige sukkertøy og noe fruktsyre. Lite og ingenting som minner meg om øl. "Den va’ ikkje god" var omkvedet rundt bordet, og jeg var helt enig. Den eneste som gikk over bordkanten.
Shared bottle at Mi2 at Cardinal 13.02.17. Slightly hazy orange. Small head. Aroma of grapes and strawberries. Sour taste, with sweet grapes, artificial strawberry taste, soap and plum jam. Hubbabubba and bitter wine gum in aftertaste. Unbalanced.
On tap at På kornet, Stavanger. Pours hazy copper with small off-white head. Aroma of plums, dark fruits, vanilla, fruit bubblegum, horse stable, very slightly medicine. Taste sour with a little sweetness. Smoothly tart finish. Low carbonation.
On tap in Olgod, Barcelona.no head, quite flat, plum taste very present, perfect sourness, red color. Very good beer!
Im Birra Berlin gekostet. Intensive Fruchtarome in der Nase. Pflaumenfarbig. Nicht übertriebene Dauer
Light maber with a white head that goes away fast, and low carobonation - Malt aroma with sourness and some wood - Gentle sour flavour that comes with some wood - The sour flavours goes into the finish and lasts - This was good
