Handbottled from a 10l BiB, kindly shared by yespr I think. Thanks anyway to whom ever it was. It pours a beautiful ruby body, clear and flat as a pancake. Almost sugary nose with hen manure notes, barnyard and lots of cherries. Sweet, sort of, flavor with cherries. Almost candy-ish. Medium body, quite low on astringency. Even though I think it gives a strange sweetish impression, it sure has it’s palate cleaning abilities left. Nice. 090821

10l bag-in-a-box @ Ølbutikken. Beautiful deep ruby, no head. Nose is mildy acidic canned cherries, very juicy and fresh. Similarly fresh flavor, tartish cherry juice, very low funk, some redcurrants. Pretty long finish with some earth. Nearly flat palate. Really refreshing and lovely, though there’s not much diversity.

From handbottle, via puzzl @ BCTC 09. Pours a mostly clear ruby body without any head at all. The nose is quite dry and funky with lots of horseblanket and sour cherry, some nutty cherry pit, almost wood-like notes. The flavor is quite funky as well with a nice not shocking acidity and lots of tart sour cherry fruitiness. A dry cellar cobweb type of funkiness, just a bit of oak. Mouthfeel is bone dry and acetic with pretty well zero carbonation, not sure if that’s the handbottle, or what it’s intended to be. Big thanks to puzzl for letting me have a crack at this one.

Slightly hazy red with a tiny white head. Funky aroma is dominated by horseblanket, with some wood and a touch of cherry. Dry and funky cherry flavour with wood. There is some tannin tartness, but it isn’t very sour, just a lot of funk. Really smooth drinking

Collected from a BIB and carried all the way from Copenhagen til Odense in an authentic Nestlé Ice Tea bottle. Thanks ChristianScheffel! Pours totally flat and clear ruby red coloured. Aromas of cherries, mint, wood, a bit musty, floral and red currants. Soft texture. Mildly sour flavour with bitter notes. Weak flavour, but very drinkable. Thanks again Christian!

Clear red body with a very small white head. Sweet cherries and light acid in aroma. Some wood also. The flavour is sweet cherries with some light acidic touch.

Bag-inbox. No head. Clear red body. Mild vinegar cherries aroma and flavor with fruity and earthy notes. A bit flat and metallic. Low carbonation. Short aftertaste. Had it too long before I tasted it. Deserves a rerate.

[9/6/08] Tap at Verzekering Tegen De Grote Dorst in Eizeringen. Clear deep red color. Aroma of fresh cherries, some sweat and oak. Sourish-sweetish flavor of cherries, wood, light medicinal quality, and a dry sour finish with a hint of astringency. Medium-bodied. A bit too mild but nice.
