[1] Review by Brett from Far from good beer, OK, USA who has tried this beer once. (9/24/2008 9:07:43 PM)
"Sampled from bottle. Pours mahogany with a good head. Aroma resembles dried cherries/prunes. Very earthy. Unpleasantly sweet for a Flemish sour. I'm overwhelmed with malt sweetness. There is some sourness in here somewhere, I suspect. "

[2] Review by BeerHunter from Green Bay, WI, USA who has tried this beer once. (8/31/2008 8:51:01 PM)
"This beer poured a clear copper color with a reddish hue and a tall beige head with nice lacing. It had a sour aroma with notes of cherry. Its flavor was crisp with noticeable malt and fruity notes giving at almost candy taste. Strongly resembled New Glarus Belgian Red, but not quite as good."

"wow, a very different brew indeed ... lots of complex and strangely exotic (erotic?) flavours ... crazy good full mouthfeel ... it is uplifting and tangy, with some jump up and dance qualities .. a fitting beer for the 2008 champions league! ... full, delicious, and a damn enjoyable beer... Come On United!!! "

[4] Review by Sap from Tucson, AZ, USA who has tried this beer a couple times. (6/12/2008 6:21:59 PM)
"Sampled September 2003
A nice burgundy color, quite clear and pours with almost no head. Tastes lightly sour, with a hint of sweetness. Smells lightly woody and a bit sour as well. This beer tastes tart with a hint of cherry. A much more everyday, easy drinking version of Rodenbach Grand Cru. Maybe some hints of vanilla in the taste, followed by a bit of tannic background. No bitterness just a wonderful marriage of tart and sweet flavors. A hint of alcohol in the finish."

[5] Review by Cybercat from Atlanta, GA, USA who has tried this beer once. (6/1/2008 12:12:39 PM)
"This comes out of the tap a beautiful opaque chocolate brown, very appetizing. Strong aroma is more like a hard apple cider than a beer. Flavor is mouth-filling and pleasing; apple taste dominates, and there is a hint of hop bitterness. Finish is very smooth and cider-like."
