Jun 21, 2009 Nose full of cedar, sage, cherries, and bourbony malts. Pours a GORGEOUS dark amber/mahogany brown color. Notes of delicious sour/sweet cherry dominate this fruit driven malty backed work of beer-art. Two thumbs up!

Jun 17, 2009 This pours a dark brownish red with a white head. The aroma is classically fruity vinous, reminding me of champagne, except for the brettanomyces aromas that add a nice complexity here - barnyard, horseblanket and so on. Dry hay-like taste with an evident sourness and notes of wood and barrels. Light vinegar in the aftertaste. Very interesting, it’s a-nice, I like! Chinqui!

Jun 7, 2009 375 mL bottle from Grape & Gourmet. Mildly carbonated; pours a muddy red. Sour aroma of cherries and...well, cherries. Excellent cherry flavor to go with the carbonation. The body is thin and this tastes more like a cherry soda. But it is a very good cherry soda if that’s the case. A very good beer that is really somewhere between a kriek and a sour.

Jun 7, 2009 Bottle, "Kriek." Right after I explained that this beer had a cork to some friends, the cork shot up in the air about 15 feet... Good times. Nice darkish-pink color with a small off-white head, very pleasant. Slightly farmy aroma accompanied the clear smell of sweet cherries. The flavor on this one was exceptional - sweet cherries met with a light to medium sourness which, accompanied by a little horsey funk, made this an extremely refreshing, balanced, and drinkable beer. Very happy I got a chance to try it. Even a non-beer-drinker in the group loved this one.

Sweet cherry malt aroma foretelling of dryness. Dark garnet with a lasting, beige-pink foam. Flavour is sweet and sour with cherry, lotus root and malt. A tiny touch of vinegar. Simple and delicious. Light body, moderate carbonation, tingly fruity finish.

May 16, 2009 750 ml. bottle (2008) in a wine glass; pours a slightly unclear bronze color w/ a surprisingly large head for the style (brownish-red); aroma dominated by sweet cherries, funk, horse blanket; flavor has more cherries, but more sour than the aroma suggest; ends incredibly refreshing. I liked this a fair bit- sweetness done just right, lacks the disgusting bubblegum flavors of a lot of fruit beers and is extremely refreshing.
