Carlus12 (361), London, Greater London, England May 7, 2008 Bottle shared with DownsouthGav @ Hoopers, Camberwell. Dark amber colour with thin off-white head and low carbonation. Aroma is sour fruits, malts, cherries. Taste is funky cherry, slightly metallic, fruity, oak and a little vinegar. Nice sourness but not overly so. Very nice. M0RHI (1067), Luxembourg, Luxembourg Apr 25, 2008 Bottle, ’t Pothuiske, Maastricht. Reddy-chestnut with a thin off-white head. Nose is sour cherry and some berry tones with some dark yeasty funkiness. Mouth is a tart cherry, then some icing sugar and a little yeastiness too. Some woody tones at the end. Good. riversideAK (2648), Shoreline, Washington, USA Apr 19, 2008 Bottle. Poured a reddish color with a thin head that went away quickly. Aroma of sour cherries, and a good amount of bretty funk. Nice tartness, followed by cherry, funk, and a little metal. Pretty funky with nice tartness. Enjoyable. Maria (6056), Thisted, Denmark Apr 12, 2008 Dark red amber with a huge and lasting head. The aroma is sourish with notes of yeast/brett and berries. The flavour has an OK berry acidity, a light sweetness, notes of berries, black berries and cherries. It’s refreshing and pleasant, but I would have liked the cherry notes more clear and the brett-like notes a bit subdued. bweezy (53), Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada Apr 3, 2008 Pours a brown-red with decent light red head. Smells of citrus and vinegar. Flavour is heavy on the cherries, it has an odd sweet yet vinegary character to it. Not one of my favourites - slightly too sour for my liking. DSG (1501), Tel Aviv, Israel Apr 1, 2008 (2/27/08) Bottle at Zolder in Bruges. Best before 6/2009. Hazy red with a small pinkish head. Lovely aroma of cherries, oak, some brett and a bit of malt. Flavor has lots of cherries, wood, some malt and some sugary sweetness. Flavor is a bit too sweet but still has a nice dose of sourness. Medium-bodied. A well-made cherry sour ale - very pleasant. lampeno420 (321), Zeeland, Michigan, USA Mar 30, 2008 Nice funky smell that pours a nice deep red. Nice and sticky mouthfeel with what I thought was wild lambicy yeast. Reminded me of Redbach, but this one felt it had more natural flavors. kmweaver (2396), Sebastopol, California, USA Mar 29, 2008 11.2oz bottle, purchased at Pizzeria Paradiso - Georgetown. Pours a dark ruby color; very thin, off-white head with patchy lacing. Funky overripe cherries and strawberries and musty fruits in the aroma; slight tartness and funk. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: red fruits (strawberries, cherries), sticky earthy malts, overripe fruits and a touch of caramel and lingering sugar. Slightly sweetened sticky kriek. Lengthy finish, showing bitter cherries and bready malts; sweetness is reasonably well-contained.
