Sample at the brewery. Pours pink/red with a small head. Some lacings. Aroma is acidic, tart and fruity cherries. Taste is tart but not much acidic. Cherry sourness with a dusty finish.

Bottle at Cantillon in Brussels. Deep reddish-purple color with a light pink head. Aroma is sour cherries and funk. Flavor more of the same, very tart, funky, and vinegary. Sharp and biting on the palate. Good but not my favorite Cantillon.

RBESG Sheffield 2009, day 3, The New Oxford, Manchester. Bottle, shared by Dunkpigen, thanks Signe! Reddish pink colour, pink head. Aroma of cherries, almonds, tartness. Flavour is sour, cherries, marzipan. Refreshing, but way too sour for me.

Small pinkish head. Hazy pink-purple body. Intense funky barnyard aroma with vinegary fruit notes. Dry-sour taste with sweetish wooden metallic cherry notes. Intensely astringent and source. Sourness lingers. Surprisingly drinkable. (Oslo beer junta rating. Need to rerate.)

Poured a beautiful red, with no head. Smell was of cherries. Taste was of cherries, with a tart kick at the end. I really enjoyed tasting this beer!

Pours reddish, clear with filmy pinkish short lived head. Smell is funky, dirty and cherry like. Taste is sour, vinegar, unsweetened cherry, and funk. Watery palate with low carbonation. Eh...Not very good and I have no desire to drink this.

Pours like a liquid ruby with a nice lacy pink head. Extreme cherry smell with barnyard quality and kind of stings the nostrils like sex panther. Full mouth feel and very dry. Hits your tongue with a burst of sour and doesn’t let up. Extremely refreshing.

Bottle. Pours with a small pink head and clear ruby body. Aroma of broth and balsamic vinegar. Tastes of balsamic vinegar, blood plum and chapagne with quite an acidic finish. A difficult beer to rate.
