Commercial Description:
A very intense Belgian style sour cherry beer. Packed with whole tart cherries for a HUGE mouth-filling flavor. This is NOT a typical ’flavored’ beer, rather, the fruit is used in such a way to create a traditional albeit unique beverage.

A hazy red beer with a huge pinkish head. The aroma is sweet with light notes of cherries - just a bit artificial, and also with light notes of dust. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of cherries as well as light notes of acidity to start off, but the note grows in intensity towards the end. It also has light notes of wood.

(Hand bottled 35,5 cl) Slightly hazy reddish with a neat, dense, beige head and a surprisingly solid carbonation. Fat aroma of cherries - extremely concentrated. Medium body with sweet’n’sour accents of cherries - a shipload of cherries. A whiff of vanilla perhaps? Tart and piquant finish. Wauw, an excellent fruit beer. 191206

50 cL bottle hand bottled, thanks to sk8viking. Pours golden red with a lacing white head. Great slight sulphorish and fruity aroma. Lovely slight dark flavour with a mild fruityness on top. Extremely wellbalanced.

(growler, thanks mj) Small beige head with murky copper body. Aroma is moderately sweet, strawberry, some cherry, raspberry. Taste is medium sweet, cherry through-and-through -- that is to say, it tastes like the entire cherry, including the pit, has been liquefied, revealing the tartness, sourness, and arsenic bitterness contained therein. Medium body, some acidity, light chewiness.

Objectively speaking: A sharp fruit beer that offers a very serious compromise between refreshment and intensity.
I like: This was from Stine’s handbottles via Glouglou and it seems to have held up very well. The carbonation is still very appropriate. Considerable tart bite towards the finish. Well extracted cherry flavours. 8% alcohol never hampers the refreshment.
I dislike: Not much to dislike about this was besides its rarity. It was much drier than I expected and relatively complex in its maltiness with earthy, toffee and a robust palate to boot.
