Rodenbach Grand Cru

I appologize for the late reviews...

A flemish sour ale, sounds weird - I think I'm going to have to try it!

Surprisingly good, very refreshing in an IPA lemondade sort of way. Smells like some kind of sweet tangy fruit, like sweet grapfruit jucie with some kind of oaky tone. The first sip gives you a little bit of a sour pucker but finishes pretty smooth. Further sips get smoother, with bitterness building back up toward the bottom of the glass. Good sitting around in the sun with friends beer, but at $10 a bottle I don't know if I'm going to be getting more bottles.

Interesting and definatly something different without going too overboard - give it a try if you have the chance.
