Dark ruby brown beer with a small tan head. Wooden fruity aroma promising some Flemish goodness. Rather sweet but with the right sour twang and cherry on top :) A solid if not spectacular example of the style.

Bottle picked up from Dranken Geers, Gent, Belgium A nice soft fizziness leads to a sweet/sour fruity slightly woody tasting beer. This actually tastes quite like a soft drink, but its ok tingles on the tongue and the sourness is fine but the sweetness does occasionally tatse just a tad sacchriney sometimes, pours reddish brown with tiniest of heads.

25 cL bottle. Pours dark amber with a brown hue. Lacing tan head. Light woody and mild acidic aroma, has notes of berries and yeast. Sourish flavour with a distinct berry sweet note. Mild brett and woody finish with an acidic berry flavour lingering into the finish.

Reddish brown of color with a thin off white head. An aroma of raspberries, cherry and sour with sweet notes. A flavor with sour notes, sweets, raspberries.

Dark brown, very thin head. Softly tart aroma with sweet malts. Flavor is lightly sour and sweet malty with raspberry-notes. Medium to full bodied with strong, but soft carbonation. Overall nicely vinous summer evening’s brew.
