Nov 8, 2009 13th March 2008. Had a few by this rating! Don’t remember much other than it was a dry and sour cherry beer.

Nov 7, 2009 Bottle, bought @ In de Wildeman.
Pours red-brown with a small, frothy, white-pink head. Aroma is lovely tart, some kriek, funk. Nice. High, prickly carbonation, fine and rather dry mouthfeel. Flavour is light tart, lots of cherries, sweet malts, light cellar notes. Long, lingering, soft fruity tartness.

Jun 21, 2009 Bottle, picked up at Dranken Geers, Oostakker, Belgium, consumed at Kemmel campsite, Belgium 11-06-09 Pours clear red with white head. Aroma is sweet and acidic, with some balsamic vinegar showing and fruit. This is quite dry and acidic and really quite challenging, balsamic flavours again but the cherries do show along with some woodiness. I actually didn’t mind this and the label looked great.

May 11, 2009 Bottled: Medium sourly aroma, hints of cider and citrus. Fruity sourly flavor, only hints of cherries. Astringent finish. Nice sourly kriek, not too sour, not too sweet.

Nov 27, 2008 33 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden deep orange with a fully gone head. Dry and phenolic and cherry aroma. Flavour is solid phenolic with an acetone dry cherry note. Acetone and acidic into the finish. A bit Rodenbach like.

Orangy-red, brief fizzy head. Acidic, almost cidery, and acetone (nail-varnish) aroma. Once you’ve fought past that, there’s some sour cherries. Really crisp carbonation, sharp and acidic. Not all that puckering though, compared with what I expected from other people’s reviews. Beautiful oaky woody body. Really quite sharp, but also quite mellow. Cherry can’t really make its presence felt in the taste. Finish is heady with the acetone and woody phenols, and completely devoid of alcohol. One of the few sour ales to actually be sour enough to keep me happy - it’s right alongside, or even ahead of, Rodenbach. Storming!
