L'Amoureuse - Brasserie Trois Dames

L'Amoureuse  - Brasserie Trois Dames.  Uhhhh yeah so this is one of those that I tried because it was supposedly sour and I have no real idea of what i was getting.  Sounds almost like a St Lam from Cantillon but lesser known.  This bottle after pouring was heavy and its heavy duty so if i ever need a club/bat to ward off drunk people i know to go for this bottle because it has double the glass as any regular 12 oz bottle.

Appearance - Small lacing of foam but also really bright grapefruit, brown & ruby color to it.

Smell - Hawaiian punch, boozy grape soda & some sort of gummy flavor object that is a mixture of both said before.  I am not sure what to expect because it has the smell of most belgiums with the sweet fruit flavors but has that crazy sweetness in the smell that is telling me that the 8% abv is going to really show.

Taste - Boozy with a light flavor burst of grape soda.  The alcohol flavor overtakes a lot of the fruity characteristics of this beer but the hints of grapes are subtle and is almost musty in flavor.  The smell of gummy flavored candy disappears and we are left with a dry grape booze flavor with very mild sourness to it.

Mouthfeel - Easy to drink I must say for being an 8% abv fruit/little bit sour/belgium boozy kick to it. 

Overall - This thing needs time in the cellar but i know if i need a weapon to bludgeon a robber I know this bottle would be perfect and would not break under the force of impact.  Time will also free this beer into subduing the boozy characteristics and I can see this going well on the fact that the fruit flavors will come out and become more floral.  I would buy this again to cellar but drinking fresh i would be interested in taking a sip to see how different age will have an effect on this beer.
