Commercial Description:
This is the result of blending black cherries lambic of different ages followed by a second fermentation in the bottle. Storage is similar like geuze. All bottles are champagne corked and can be reserved, in normal conditions, for more than thirty years. It is obvious that an amazing taste evolution takes place.

375 mL bottle from Market Street Wine Shop & Grocery, Downtown, Charlottesville, VA. Pours a slightly hazy strawberry color, or should I say cherry? Medium cream off-white head. Decent head retention and lacing. Aroma is tart cherries, an earthy funkiness, berries and citrus. Taste is tart cherry pie filling, slight herbal notes, raspberries and strawberries, citrus. Very tart throughout with a bit of residual sugary sweetness. Medium bodied. Tasty.

375ml bottle. Pours red with small head that disappears fast. Nose is tart, quite vinous and sour cherries. A bit too vinous for my taste (I can’t stand Rodenbach). Taste is vinous and sour. It gets much less vinous at the end. Start would be 3.4, end would be 3.7. Intensely sour, mouth puckering. I’m a bit disappointed about this one. Not for me.

(bottle - corked & caged 750 ml) Deep red pour with a slightly pink head. Aroma is incredibly sour and tart with lots of cherry notes. Good and funky. Flavor is sour and earthy at the start. Lots of fruity acidic notes and a lot of sour funk. Finishes with a tart and tangy cherry aftertaste. Really nice and really sour.

Oh man this stuff looks like happiness in a glass! I wish I had the wherewithal to age some of these for decades. It’s deep red with white fizzy foam. The aroma is spritzy, fruitily acidic, a little bit of chalk, fresh. The flavor is lightly sweet, acidic yet calming, it’s like the Platonic form of what a cold tart cherry should taste like, the finish reminds me of cherry skins. There’s an undertone of horsey funk too. Mouthfeel is light and fizzy. This is delightful, just the beer I wanted today.
