Apr 28, 2009 375 ml corked bottle from TheEpeiist, thanks! Pinkish color. Cherry, marzipan and oak in the aroma. Quite sour, but also velvety flavor with cherries and lemon. Excellent beer, maybe just lacking a bit of the intense complexity of the very best lambics.

Apr 27, 2009 Bottle at DLD. Floral, light sour and tart cherry aromas, somewhat thin but refined and gentle. Prickly cactus, mild chewy kriek flavor, yeasty and full bodied with a vinegar sour finish. Pretty nice. This wasn’t as sour as the straight lambic, but was more refined and didn’t just taste like drinking a bottle of balsamic, so I liked it.

Aroma of tart cherries, horse blanket, a hint of vanilla and oak. Taste is sharp sour, medium bodied, with flavors of tart cherries and a little barn yard funk. Finish has a light tart aftertaste with some funk, yeast and oak.
