From bag in a box at Ølbutikken. Pours clear and golden red with almost no head. Aroma is sweet, slight butterish and almondish aroma. Dry and phenolic to suplhorish flavoured. Dry and almondish flavoured too. Dry and acidic finish.

Sampled draught at Akkurat, Stockholm, Sweden.
Dark clear red. Aroma of black cherries. Fruity and intensely flavourful with balanced acidity. Though it is complex and very vinous, and the flavour of the cherries is just wonderful it takes a bit of the edge of the complexity of the unblended lambic, making it only slightly less superb.

Draught @ 16th Weekend of Spontaneous Fermentation 2007, Opstal. Clear dark red color with virtually none head. Aroma is moderate cherry, butter. Flavor is moderate sweet and light acidic with a short to average duration. Body is light to medium, texture is watery, carbonation is flat.

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.

Draught. Dark ruby red colour, not much head to mention. Aroma is butterish cherry wth some slight hints of caramel. Flavour is sour wood, caramel, cherry and a bit wineous hints. I liked it, a lot!

Draught at weekend of spontanious fermentation. Clear red coloured with no head. Aroma of cherries and marzipan. Light acidic flavour of cherries, fruits, wood and marzipan. Tart finish.
