Community Tasting Note

    April 2, 2013 - This is the Italian version that is, as far as I know, not imported to the US. It pours a cloudy red-brown and leaves a thin, sticky foam.

    Great aromatics here! There is just so much going on. Cherry, sour apple, vanilla, wet forest wood. Beautifully fragrant, I could smell this all day. It continues to evolve and move between its component for hours.

    The palate is similarly complex, but not quite as powerful. More lithe, due to such high acidity, and quite tart. The tartness is rounded out by a more forward sweet flavour profile. Still fruity, with a moderate tannic grip.. moderate for beer that is. Sour apple, cranberry, vanilla. Nice length too!

    This is really something else, something worth seeking out & trying. A great combination of the lip-smacking sourness of old-fashioned Lambic beer & the refined nature of oak-aged Flemish Red ales. 4.69/5
