An old rating i finally got to entering. Tart aroma of funk and cherries with some yeastiness to it. Flavor was tart and really bubbly on the tongue. Nice beer.

Thick red cloudy amber with a thin white head. Good solid flemish, sour aroma. Flavor is nice and citrisy and not too heavy or fruity. I feared too much cherry flavor and I was not let down - it doesn’t overpower it at all. After the second glass - your tongue starts to regret the acidic brew though. So beware!

Very nice to find a lambic (or lambic wannabee) at a local. Nicely done, acidic and sour with enough sweetness to help balance it all out and cherries somewhat subdued. All in alll, an excellent offort. Would only be better if available in bottles.

Pours a hazy maroon-ish, dark cranberry color with no head. Smell is tart cherry, sweetness, and a bit of vinegary sourness. Taste is quite sour with a hint of funkiness perhaps and a noticeable sweetness, but nice. Some grainy flavors along with the sweet and sour cherry and light carbonation. Pretty tasty and fairly drinkable for the style.

Small snifter at the brewpub: poured pinkish red with no head. Nice aroma of cherries and lacquer. Mild sweetness on the tongue at the start with that quickly subsiding and turning to tart cherry. Lacquerish notes and more cherries come through throughout. I really liked this one.

Bottle shared by moejuck at cbus 9. Pours a hazy reddish brown with a faintly pink head. Aroma is tart cherries, funk, oak. Flavor is more tart cherries, light oak, dough. Palate is light bodied, medium carbonation, finished tart and funky. Awesome.

Bottle RBSG. Pinkish brown pour with a white head. Aroma of light sour, cherry, subtle bready malt/piecrust and cinnamon. Flavors were dry tart cherry, pie spices and sweet malt. Medium body, sour/fruity/tart/dry with a dry/juicy finish. Really nice brew.

Bottle at the RBSG grand tasting on 6/23/07: Pours a hazy dark ruby pink with a thin-lacing off-white head. Aroma of sweet fruity cherries and some complex oak and tartness, very enticing. Body starts with a full dissolved carbonation and some lightly sweet fruity cherries and lots of tartness before a drier, lightly oaky complex finish. Very well balanced, authentic and enjoyable.
