Sep 23, 2008 Bottle, served cellar temperature in tulip glass. Pours very red, dark pinkish with a pink/white head. The glass held in the aromas I imagine, which were quite strong, also a bit inviting, though one dimensional: smelled of candied sugar, cherry candy, but more fresh, less like cheap hallowe’en varieties. Flavours were similar to the aroma. I enjoyed this much more than the chilled bottle I opened a couple of months earlier.

Sep 22, 2008 250mL bottle from the LCBO (wtf? it’s 3.5% abv, why not just go insane and bottle in in larger quantities?) Why is it the LCBO feels the need to cram mass quantities of every inane ’lambic’ with a some crappy fruit flavour from this brewery down our throats, instead of at least bringing in something interesting like the Faro or the Gueze from this SAME F***ING BREWERY? Anyways, sorry for the rant, this one pours a deep red that basically looks like fruit juice. Smells actually okay, like nice cherry pie. Taste is, hmm, fascinating. Starts out overtly sweet and cherry like, but soon rounding itself out with some crazy sour tartness, but not really in a lambic sort of way, more in like a sour candy kind of way. It’s like a liquid gobstopper. Well, it’s not totally putrid. The ingredients list on the bottle is absolutely hilarious: beer, cherries, sugar, flavour. Hahaha. Good thing they put ’flavour’ in, because otherwise it might have just tasted like beer, and like, shit, no one wants that, like get f***ing serious.

Sep 5, 2008 250ml bottle
3.5% ABV
I tried this beer on August 2, 2008 after purchasing from one of my local LCBO outlets. The beer poured a deep red colour, some translucence, with a very thin pink head. The aroma is similar to a child’s cherry lollipop. The mouthfeel is light bodied and champagne like. The flavour is very similar to a sour cherry soda.
