Pours a reddish pink with a bright pink head that diminishes quickly. Nose is not as tart as expected, tart cherry and slightly medicinal. Flavor is slightly tart with a medium sweet finish, will re rate when I open my other bottle. PJClarke (709), London, Greater London, England

An opaque red fuzz with a baby pink head. Very interesting to look at. True cherry, tart and mouthwatering. A hint of sweetness is soon overwhelmed by the perfect level of acidity. The flavour of the fruit is wonderful and accompanied well by the lightly woody finish. The odd little carbonation leaves something to be desired but that is pretty much the only flaw.

Pours a hazy cranberry sauce color with no head, maybe a few small white bubbles. Aroma is nicely sour and biting on the nostrils. Excellent farmhouse earthy notes along with a pleasing sweet and tart cherry. Flavor is immediately sour and tongue pinching, nicely acidic and funked out. Dry finish with some lingering tannins.

| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Nov 12, 2009 Sample #29 at 1st CST, 2005. Pours a murky purple with a great white/pink froth. Nice tart cherry pie aroma, pool water, great depth of cherries, lovely woody/cedar character, some spicy depth. Flavor is of sour mold cherries, pool water, lots of funky tart cherries, very very sour yet mellowed for a Cantillon. Med/full body with softer fluffy carbonation. Love it... have another 05 bottle in the cellar. DJMonarch (6941), Northwich, Cheshire, England

Sour fruit aroma. Blood red coloured sour fruity cherry flavour with a little dryness in a crisp lasting oaked finish. cmillward (437), Orlando, Florida, USA
| 4.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 19/20 | Nov 12, 2009 Bottle, 1999 vintage, sampled 2009. Kindly shared by TheCheeseMan. Pours red with a faint ring of head. Nose is still donimated by cherry even after 10 years, hints of acidity, lots of funky barnyard and spicy brett. Flavor is more cherry, tart, acidic with some nice tannins. Dry and lush in the mouth. Drinkable with tart cherry and wonderful sourness throughout. Stunning. TampaBrew (889), Tampa, Florida, USA
| 4.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 19/20 | Nov 9, 2009 04 bottle. Poured red. Flavor is a perfect blend of sour and sweet fruits and super tart funky, cheesy, lactic acid beer. The perfect amount of cherry and dry dry champagne like carbonation. This beer is phenominal. Musky wet cellar, funky dusty yeasts, mouthwatering pedio sourness.
