Red, brown colored brew. Fruity (cherry), yeasty aroma. cherry, fruity flavor with modest sourness. Enjoyable.

Deep ruby-red / brown colour, small off-white head. Aroma is fruity (a lot of cherries) and yeasty. Flavour has cherries and berries. Finishes with a nice sourness. Ok beer.

Bottle shared by BeastieFan2k. Aroma is distinctly lacking, vegetal and thin, very reminiscent of a pale lager. Wtf? Flavor is a little better, a slight touch of sour cherries, but mostly just pissy, catty, cactus kind of stuff.

Had on tap at Brasserie Beck in Washington DC. Nice smooth beer with some good sour notes. A hint of cherries and fruit.. Good beer and just sour enough to tease.

Clear brown of color with a nice off-white head. An aroma of fruit, weak sweets and sour notes. A flavor of caramel, sour, fruit and weak sweets.

(Bottle 75 cl) Courtesy of BelJohansen. Pours a clear, orangey brown with a dense, off-white head leaving some laces. Sweet and sour aroma with a woody touch. Rather light-bodied, vinous, notes of dried fruit, berries and lots of woody accents. The finish is lightly sour. Not exactly overwhelming but a pleasant and quaffable sour. 220308

Deep dark burgundy color. Fruity cherry aroma with touches of blackberry. Fairly sour with a good tart whack and a berrylike fruit rounding it out. Clean finish. Slightly vinous with a mild oakiness as a complement. All around really nice. I’m happy with this.

Woody, old wood, fruit, strawberries, earthy aromas. Pours dark red with a thick off white head. Very earthy and oaky, a lot of vanilla, with some dry tartness, and some slighty sour berries. Way more oaky than sour, reminds me of a much milder st. bon chien 05.
