shrubber85 (2428), Wallhalben, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany Jul 11, 2008 Bottle (2005). Musty basement and red cherry aroma. Ruby red color with moderate head. Dry musty tart cherry/lemon peel flavor. The finish is so light and dry, it’s almost like drinking air. Not so much a beer as a work of art. Bockyhorsey (1915), Mesa, Arizona, USA Jul 11, 2008 Sampled at Bocky Bash on 7-5-08. Had a fermented fruit aroma. Red body with pink head. Good cranberry flavor with the lambic tart in the mix. Good stuff. SuperDave70 (641), Arizona, USA Jul 8, 2008 Sampled at Bockyhorsey’s Bocky Bash on 7-5-08. Nice cloudy red pour with a foamy pink head. Lots of sour cherries and red fruits in the aroma. Same in the flavor with a bit of lemon, spice, and funk. Nicely carbonated. Slightly dry finish. Fantastic! Sparky27 (417), Phoenix, Arizona, USA Jul 7, 2008 2001 bottle courtesy of guerde and shared at the 7/5/08 Bocky Bash locals tasting. Pours a cloudy cranberry with white head. Nose is funk, vinegar and cherries. Taste is sour cherries, lemon juice, funk, balsamic vinegar and aspirin. Prickly, medium mouth feel. Very good – thanks Andy! yespr (5566), Copenhagen O, Denmark Jul 7, 2008 75 cL bottle. Pours hazy golden red with a huge pink head - slowly diminishing to nothing. Aroma is dry cherries with a note of the classic Cantillon barnyard dryness. Light almond note too. Flavou is solid acidic with a stringent sulphorish note to a dry yet fruity cherry flavour. Reveals almond like note into the far finish.
