Monk’s Cafe - Flemish Sour Ale
Brewery: Brouwerij Van Steenberge N.V (says BA)
Type: Flemish Sour Ale
ABV: 5.5% (again, according to BA)
Quaff date: 3/27/2009
Poured at: Casa Muerte
Drunk from: n/a
Poured a deep ruby red; big head with loose bubbles. Smells of sugar and sour cherries - reminds me of cherry lifesavers (to be trashy about it). Sweet, a little tart - refreshing, maybe too much so - it goes down awful quick and then there’s no more. Not the most complex sour beer I’ve ever had, definitely good for someone who hasn’t tried a sour before.
