lightly carbonated, ruby red pour..aroma is very similar to their Grand Cru..huge black cherry, vinous grape, and vinegar..amazing flavor of tart cherry, sour funk, raspberry vinagerette..also has an interesting minty finish .wonderful in every way. this may rival the Grand Cru in my books...a wonderful dicotomy of sweet and sour elements...

Small bottle. Graciously shared by my cousin, ggaughan, before he moved to Luxembourg. Poured reddish brown, capped with a small tan head. Rich, complex aroma with sour cherry, wood, and mild acidity. Flavor is moderately tart, with sour cherry, oak and caramel malt. It’s a pity this is no longer produced.

Bottle at Mr. Pickwicks in Stowe VT. Pours a deep reddish brown with a light white whipped head. Aroma is nutty and vanilla with a huge punch of acidic cherries. Body is med-light with an avg. amount of CO2. The flavors follow the aroma and are perfect with huge amounts of sour cherries, a throat biting lactic sourness, and a beautiful sweet nutty finish. Very nice beer. Glad I paid the $9.75 for it.

bottle graciously provided by big bad bear bbb63. Thanks Mike! Pours a red brown with an offwhite head. aroma of cherry, funky fruit, gummy bears, and a strong medicinal note. Flavor is cherry pie, earth, some light tartness. A more sweet than tart funky cherry beer with some medicinal notes. neat beer. peculiar, could use some more tartness. Glad to have tried it!

Brown red with a small foamy white head. Huge acetic acid aroma with hints of tart cherries. Acrid vinegar flavors, with a burgeoning vein of cherry that cuts through even the sourest of it. Finish has a lingering cherry tart to it. I will leave the lavish descriptions of what acetic acid tastes like to more experienced sour beer enthusiasts.
