750ml bottle from Beers of the World. Finally more ratings than Tim! Body is deep ruby & mahogany, head is pinkish and foamy. Nose is cherries, caramel, malt, wood, acetic acid. Some muted lemon pith as well. Flavor is rich malt & cherry, wood, acid & balancing sourness. Finish is tart cherry soda & woody dryness.

Bottle. Nose is sour cherries, light sweetness. Pours a dark red color with a big steady white head. Flavor is a refreshing balance of tart and sweet cherry. Clean, easy drinking. Delicious.

Flaske. Dybrød øl med masser af bundfald. Kraftig duft af kirsebær. Fantastisk smag af kirsebær med en sur balance der gør at man vil have mere. rigtig god øl.

Bottled, Very unique ruby color head. Nose smells like a lambic with generous amounts of cherries and slight strawberry jam. Surprisingly very good, not annoying with an overuse and single focus on a specific fruity flavor. Acidic notes, cherry, strawberry, a beady core, and medium body.

I really enjoyed this beer. Hazy medium pink-brown pour with nice fizzy head. Earthy, sour cherries on the nose, but not over the top. Taste is nicely tart, but again not overly cherry. Great sour finish. The palate was perfect to me--velvety fizz. Just a great experience all around.

Bottle courtesy of goldtwins. Pours reddish-brown. Aroma of sweet cherries. Taste is very sweet, though not cloying here. A bit syrupy on the palate and some tartness arrives in the finish.

Poured a lsightly hazed copper color with an off-white head. Sweet and tart aroma with cherries, leather and funk. Sweet mildly tart cherry flavor. Light to medium bodied.

Bottle from Goldtwins. Surprisingly nice aroma, lots of cherry pits and cinnamon, apple pie, a bit sweet but very nice. Flavor is similar, a touch more sweet, but it perfectly compliments the light sourness and great cherry. Pitty and delicious. This is great.
