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.

(Poured from bag-in-a-box at Ølbutikken, thanks Jeppe) Bit murky red. No head. Cherries and cherry stones in aroma. Medium bodied. Cherris, malts, light sourness, sweetness in taste.

Bag-in-a-box, handtapped on plastic bottle. Mild cherry aroma, seems a little sweet. Beautiful dark red colour, seems quite clear. The flavour has some fat cherry notes, not a lot of sweetness. A little dry in the finish.

Handbottle 50 cl. Courtesy of Theis. Clear warm red with no head. Fresh cherry aroma. Light body, tart and sulphury cherry notes. Vague butter accents. Dry finish. 300809

From Ølbutikken. Pours red with no head. Aroma is vague with a hint of sweet ripe cherries. The flavour is also quite vague. Its dry with notes of ripe cherries and has a woody touch. The after taste is slightly bitter/sour and is quite nice but also watery on the palate, due to the lag of carbonation.

Plastflaske fra bag-in-box. Flot rød øl med næsten ingen karbonering. Rigtig dejlig tyggegummiduft uden den altfor søde nuance der let kommer. Ekstrem drikbar, meget kirsebær lidt surhed der fint bakker op. Fantastisk øl.
