Run of the mill sour. Nice lacy head. Rhubarb is there.

Saint Lamvinus 2020

Just learned a new German word - pelzig. Supposedly describes the tongue-smacking that happens with some dry sours. Lot of that happening here. Delicious!

Fou' Foune

The head is lacy and lasts a good long while. Fruity more than sour.

Vigneronne (2021)

Ohhh… really great balance. Sour gushiness and then bone dry. Really sudden pivot. This would be spectacular with food.

Oude Kriek Boon

Funky funky cherry with… cardamom?

Geuze Mariage Parfait

Funky oak on the nose. The palate starts with an airplane fuel note. There’s oak and tartness, but they’re not dancing together.

Kriek Boon

Super easy drinking. Nice, sharp effervescence. Tart, but not puckeringly so. Cherry cobbler finish. Only wish it were slightly stronger.

Rosé de Gambrinus

Not nearly as sweet as I was expecting. In fact, there’s no sweetness at all. Smells like raspberry jam, tastes like a gueuze. Looks pretty.

KBS

Oh my, that bourbon sings! The alcohol heat hits at the end. Not as viscous as I had feared. I don’t get a huge amount of coffee, maybe the bourbon overpowers it.

Kriek 100% Lambic

Just a whisper of cherry. I really like the balanced finish, a little tart a little dry. I was waiting for a big flavor gush, but didn’t find any.

Classic Gueuze

Sour and incredibly dry. I get that awesome fenugreek flavor from Belgian gueze. Only note: finishes a little too soon.

Tweaker Coffee Porter

Smelled malty but I don’t get as much of that in the flavor. More bitter than I had expected from the nose.

It's Blowing Half A Pelican / Det blæser en halv pelikan

A little thin but I like the flavor. A hint of cheek salivation but it fades fast.

Beer Geek Flat White Kieni Coffee

A bit on the sour, fruity side of coffee. This on nitro would be great. If you’re going to call it flat white, then more creaminess would be nice.

Jackie Brown

Just not a fan of brown ales. Tried it with a hazelnut chocolate and the pairing was better than the beer on its own.

George Bourbon BA

Like a brownie in a glass. Sweet but not cloying. This is yummy!

Trippelbock Frederiksdal Cherries

Takes me on a journey. Tart cherry, then chocolate.

SpontanAcai

Hmm... tastes like a lambic, not sure I get açaí. Also not sure I would be able to tell you what they taste like though.

Spontanbergamot

Yummy! Bitter like citrus pith, sour like... citrus. I love this series.

Heated Seats

Nice start, ends a little thin. Leaves a little tartness in the corners of my mouth.

Beer Geek Flat White 0.3%

Smells fantastic. Not a nice sour flavor, reminds me of some bad schwarzbiers.

Riesling People

Really bordering on wine and ipa flavors. Tried it after a sour, so I couldn’t get much of the tart.

Iskold Classic

Still haven’t warmed up to maltier beers, and there’s quite a lot at the front. But finishes bitter and thin.

Beer Geek Dessert

It certainly delivers as advertised. Sticky sweet, syrupy, chocolatey.

Chipotle Porter

Hmm... the spice is faint. Coffee, yes. I like the dry finish, too.

MBCC'20 Berliner-style Weisse With Fruits of the Sun

Pretty thin body. The fruits (orange and grapefruit) are there but fade in a second.

Bean Geeks - Session Porter

Like a fancy chocolate milk, sans milk. Finish fades a little too fast, but still good. 5.5% counts as session?

Unblended Oude Lambiek Foeder #76

Shame about the weak finish. Kind of reminds me of a cidre naturelle.
