UPDATED: FEB 15, 2020 Ruddy hazy orange-brown pour, small off-white head. Apricot, peach, apple, oak, cherry, toffee, intense. Quite acidic and tart.

UPDATED: JAN 2, 2020 750 ml bottle shared by Keith - thanks again, Keith! Notes of chocolate, vanilla, oak, dark fruits (plums, berries), earth, toast, leather, dust, funk, and subtle spice. Medium-bodied, with moderate carbonation and a fruity, sweet, funky mouthfeel. Drinking great for 12-13 years old. Basically a Flanders red, but just funky and not tart.

750ml bottle pours out amber brown color topped with a fizzy head. Nose is nice funky notes some cherries a little basement notes and a cork. Taste is more of the nice funky dusty notes and a light fruit note.

Barnyard, crabapple aromas. Appearance cloudy just like apple cider in color. Almost no head light carboinnation. tastes of barnyard and granny smith sour apples and yeast. Refreshing bier de garde.

Tasted the 2006 version on 4/18/15. This great beer still tastes remarkably fresh despite it’s age. It is holding up extremely well and aging very slowly. I found it sitting on the shelf in the store. Compared to the 2013 it is still very acidic with just a hint of increased malt in the background. Carbonation is light to moderate, unchanged compared to the 2013, just perfect for this beer. Aroma: Lovely balsamic vinegar blended with apple cider, vanilla, with a hint of leather, cherries and peaches in the background. No hint of hop bitterness. It has subtle but noticeable barnyard funk, hay and aged cheese along with the bread on dough. The taste parallels the aroma; it is incredibly complex and well balanced despite the high acidity. The mouth feel is delightfully velvety and viscous, but not syrupy. This beer tastes like a super concentrated, super complex great OUDE GEUZE. It is fascinating and absolutely delicious. It is built to age well for a long, long time. Be forewarned; This unusual beer will not appeal to everyone. I consider this an ’extreme on the edge beer’. If you don’t like complex sour beers with funk, this is not for you. I rate this and the 2011, 2012, 2013 (and all the Grand Cru versions) 100+.

750ml bottle. Sampled with Jerome. Wow an amazing red sour, peppery tannic qualities but sournes sand funk, cherry skins, tart fruit, acidicty.

Bottle thanks to Tom. Pours a murky brown with paperthin beige head that diminishes to nothing. The aroma is funk and sour fruit. Thin mouth with cherry skin, oak, light funk, lingering tartness, good.

Bottle pours a murky toilet brown with no chunks. Aroma is caramel, leather, basement, and tart cherries. Flavor is acidic tart. Tasty.

Bottle. Pours murky chestnut, small off white head, good lacing. Aroma is funky basement, oxidized sugars, mushroom. Flavor is light sweet, light tart, light funk. Medium body, good carb.

Bottle, shared with friends on game night. Murky orange amber, minimal head formation. Musty, yeasty aroma, light acetic sourness. Mouthfeel is tampered by low carbonation, but the flavours are nice enough: unripened berries, caramel, yoghurty lactic sourness, musty cork.
