Bottled. A hazy deep red beer with a lazing light tan head. The aroma is sweet and sour with notes of berries - primarily cherries. The flavor is tart with light notes of wood, almonds, and fruit, leading to a tart almond and cherry finish. The body is thin.

Slightly orange-tinged red colour with a thick, frothy head. Light cherryish nose is a bit too faint for my liking. Tart body, with some brown sugar and strange, almost phenolic notes. Slight stickiness detracts from the presentation. Reminds me of Storm’s lambics.

Hazy brownish with a medium beige head. Aroma was sweet sourish with plums, caramel and wood. Flavour had sour cherries, wood, cinnamon, almonds and vinegar. Finished very sour with sour cherries. Refreshing stuff.
