750 ml bottle. Pours a slightly hazy reddish color with no head. The aroma is tart cherries and perhaps a hint of citrus. The flavor is more tart cherries and general sout character. This was decent, but not one of my favorites.

12oz bottle. Pours a cherry red with no head. Aromas of funky barnyard yeast, cherries, and......charbroiled meats? Flavors of wild yeast, cherry, fruit. Plate seems a bit thin, but what do I know? Overall a great drinking lambic.

Can´t give it as much as the geuze for some reason. Tasted after tour of brewery. Very cherry but very dry which is great. These people really know what they´re doing.

Not as good as the gueuze, but still quite a nice beer. Beautiful appearance. A little more tart than I would have preferred, but not bad. This beer poured ruby red and opaque, with head of tiny white bubbles contrasting the red body...gorgeous. Aroma was gueuze-like with some barnyard funk. Flavor was just slightly sweet, very tart, but not as fruity as I expected. Mouthfeel was clean but not crisp...lingers in the mouth and throat. Pretty good, but not as good as the Cantillon Gueuze. I had this at the Cantillon brewery in Anderlecht, in the Brussels suburbs.

22oz 2004 bottle at the SATRG. Pours a reddish cherry color, very cool poor with a small pinkish red head. The nose is just crazy with hints of cherry, alot of vineagar but not as much as I expected. Also some vanilla, alot actually and some funky brett. WOW this thing is motherpuckering in a good way. Very complex, cherry skins, acidic with some strong funky cheese notes and a vanilla end with a pure cherry jam finish. This is a heck of an amazing beer.

Not a big big fan of sour brew but this was great. Bought mine from a local international shop it had been sitting at the top of their shelves for a while (almost 7 months) in the light. Im sure it lots some of its properties but was still good. Very sour tart. Cherrys other light fruit. Good brew. great color btw
