Nice appearance, but disappoints by being almost like a sparkling wine as opposed to a lambic. It’s still drinkable and solid, but lacks complexity and a bit of quality.

Bottle. Shared with Own and Danny. Thanks guys. Pours a soft pink with small head that disappears pretty quickly. Initial aromas are of cherry cola but this settles to revieal sour cherry, almond and some vanilla. Whilst no huge lambic flavours there is definately there along with plenty of sour cheery. There is also plenty of sweetness which nicely balances these sour flavours. Overall a nice beer.

Bottle. 25 cl, 4.0%. Tre Små Rum Gothenburg. Red colour with a pink head. Cherries, lightly sour, sugary & sweet, a bit watery. Drinkable but simple and not very complex. Almost more lika an alco-pop.

Very sour with a bitterish accent. Definitely an exotic taste for the usual pale lager drinker.

Bottle. Red colour with a pinh head. Aroma is cherry, yeast. Flavour is pleasent, cherry, yeast, sour.

Sampled at a Mead, Cider, and Beer Tasting sponsored by Binny’s Bverage Depot in Glen Ellyn, IL. Poured to my wine/sampler glass a cranberry juice red with a white, bubbly, film and small foamy ring. The nose was hints of funky, barnyard yeast and very tart cherry. The flavor continued the tartness and added a hint of wood and lively carbonation.

Mine had 4% ABV, unlike its related here. Its head was small and pink. Fair lacing. Fully diminishing. Flat, thick, dark purple body, like Fanta grape. Aroma: lot of CHERRY. IF: heavy sweetness and light acidic. FF: heavy sweet and light acidic. Average duration. Palate: light body, watery texture, medium carbonation and light astringent finish. It tastes like cherry juice and also reminds me of a sparkling wine, without the complexity of a Lambic/Gueuze. I did not notice nothing apart from cherry.10s

330mL Bottle. Nice dense, caramelized and jammy sour cherry nose. Pungent, puckery, and tangy. A real rich ruby ring. Pours a murky blood and apple-skin red, with a rose ring of foam. Flavor carries similar punchy cherry notes, heavy on the pie filling and the lollipop characters. More subdued in the flavor, but forward. However, lambic-like character fails to develop. There’s some faint cotton dryness, a touch of barrel, and a light guezey-ness, but not really. A lot of cherry juice. Little acidity. I guess I look for more hybrid lambic-fruit character and much more acidity. This is soft and sugary. Nice fruit character, but a little yellow-bellied, as fruit lambics go.
