Very nice sour which my lil bro traded for some nice California beers.
I have to say this being my very first de Garde beer, pretty impressed. There are some decent qualities. Overall, not the fruit I was expecting but very sour and tart. There is something missing in the body I cannot identify but very nice start to the beer. I would like to try other things from de garde but I'm not willing to give an arm and a leg for this stuff.

Perfection. One of the best "sour's" I've ever had. Beautiful sweetness from the raspberries and cherries cascades into excellent level of mouth-puckering acidic tartness. Kind of like if you put a cherry in your mouth and began chewing, then put a raspberry in. I've had a few de Garde's and they've all been excellent, but I was not expecting this. I can't see what more one could ask for from an American Wild Ale.

Really enjoyed this one. Probably one of my favorites from them. Such balance with fruit and tartness. Very well done.

Beautiful beer, special rouge indeed. It's something when a beer looks like some kind of magic elixir. Fantastic taste of smooth berry and fruit. Clean and tart. This is amazing.
