I forgot to mention that it is also washed with beer. I think this might also add to the general sour/bitter taste. Blame it on the Belgians - it's right on the border between the two countries!
I tried it while in France this Summer and loved it. The trip was my first exposure to "real" cheese, so maybe I just don't know any better. I'm certainly having an impossible time finding it here in the states.
Sounds more like a cheese to be appreciated under general anaesthesia.
