Commercial Description:
First blended by Glenn & Urbain at the Bles Festival in Zottegem Belgium, last October 2008, for the beer geek public, and around closing time. Many positive feedbacks around the blend, kept following both breweries. As a tribute, and honour to the late Pre-Zbf 2009 festival, we decided together with Alvinne, to officialize this blend to a one time labelled bottling this year. Only a thousand 33cl bottles were filled, to be distributed and sold on this fest, and in our respective shops.

Dammit,(2500th hundred rating, hell yeah, 2.5 beer god, rock out rock, out, I am rocking!) I thought rating 17 of this beer would be from an American rater, yet someone has rated it I bet he though not likely /she has lived in Europe for a while but forgot to change their locale. This alright is very good. Dammit I was ready for this but I went to the pour, it is a gusher, a big old gusher for a damn small bottle, i’m sad for what was lost. Pours pinkish red, with a thin tan ring. Taste is tart cherry, very nice. I like this despite the fruit beer with some sourness i faced in this beer. Nose is sweet cherry some tartness. good and bad, thanks Capedbrewsader for saving the day.

Bottle at Pre-ZBF. Wow. Really pleasant and interesting beer. Soft, tart, wild cherry nose. Flavor is not quite sour, more like softly tart, with a tasty cherry-stem nuttiness that carries long into the aftertaste. Really damned nice.

Bottle. Ruby red color. Soft cherry, cherry pits and marzipan aroma. Moderately sour flavor, with some cherries. Some lemon and the slightest touch of brett. Surprisingly short aftertaste. Seems a bit too young. Nevertheless a fine beer.

Bottle at the Alvinne pre Zythos event 09. Possibly my favourite beer label of all time. I love Rene Magritte. Lovely real cherries with some sourness and a cutting Brett yeast. Beautiful really. Lovely stingy tingling finish, but the mouthful of cherry fruit completely stuns me. This is heaven. Yummy.

Bottle. Good cherry aroma. The flavour is nice cherryish with a good citric, lactic note to balance. Hazy dark red colour. Small light pink head. Good lactic aftertaste.

Bottle PZF & PZT. Wow! Pours Pink Pink and More Pink. Aroma :Full ripe cherries,creme fraise,tart with some funk. Flavour: full bold and deep in cherry characters slight lactic acid but very moreish as it is not overlly sweet. Prefer this to normal Kerasus as the flavour is much bolder and fuller in body.
