Style: Sour Ale
Heule, Belgium

A Mes rate. Bottle at the brewery. Damn Glenn, I was not expecting this. Straight out of the bottle this looks fantastic. An awesome candy apple red colour with an impressive tight pink head. Beautiful. Aroma, my god this is good one. This is only quite young but already it is starting to sing. Fresh and luscious. Sniffable in the extreme. The flavour is a stunning full cherry hit. Gloriously fresh with some wonderful green grassy stuff in there too. Amazing length on the cherries that lasts and lasts and develops a wonderful sourness that will eventually become more pronounced. God it is lovely. Once the wild yeast really kicks in this is going to be incredible. Amazingly clean mouthfeel. Stunning stuff chaps.

Draft at Rattle N Hum. Pours a bronze body with a white head. Fruity fresh pear with hints of banana’s. Drinking this beer is like biting into one of the most lush pears fresh and absolutely delicious. Pear skins and nectar with a dry tart finish. Awesome brew!

Intense pink head over clear, ruby-red beer. Cherry nose, cherry skins & kernels, slight lactic nose, but essentialy fruity. Just love it - and now put REAL in front of every time I’ve used the word ’’cherry’’, please. Dry, but quite fruity cherry flavour, some slight cookie malts behind. Lipsmacking cherries’ finish. Mineral water quality, spritzy, refreshing. Excellent fruitbeer by Alvinne. In fact, both among the best ever tasted from this brewery, and among the best not-lambic based kriekbieren available.

(33cl bottle, BB Sep 2013, Lot: 278) Pours a cloudy red body with a small pink head. Aroma of cherries, earth, and florals. Flavor of strong, bold, fresh cherries, funky sourness, and some marzipan. Excellent sour!

Second taste from bottle, 33 cl. @ home firsth days off this year. (tasted on Bles Happening) Dark red color, with almost no head. Aroma cherry. Medium body. Taste is fruity, cherry, dry, refreshing. Very nice now.

Bottle, thanks to oh6gdx (Patrik) for sharing. Perfect cherry-red/purple color. Any scant fizzy head disappears almost immediately. Aroma is a little disappointing, especially as we tried the Keralensis first. Getting lots of yogurt/lactic acid. The fruit is fairly subdued and more marachino-like than the blend too. A nice degree of carbonation here, barely there and pretty flat except for a soda water like spritz. The flavors are much more cherry than the aroma lets on. Tons of fruit here. A very nice cherry quality. The beer is very drinkable and finishes astringent. Has a nice degree of natural tartness, minus any funk.

Pours brilliant ruby. Very brilliant. Mild cherry aromas. Very cherry flavor - not too tart cherry with some cherry skin. Fiishes mildly tart and sweet all at once. Extremely refreshing.
