Pours red with slight pink head. Nose is quite tart and cherrylike. Flavor is also tart-like with a smooth underlying sweetness. Nice sipping beer.

Vivid dark ved, medium sized pink foamy head. Acetic acid and an unfortunate phenolic aroma. Tart cherry flavor gives way to pucker tart. Plastic phenol tinges marr the flavor especially noticable in the finish. Mouthfeel is medium light and fairly smooth and dry.

this is yet another journey into "sour-land" for me.im a bit nervous so here we go.this sour ale pours a see through crimson body with a small white head.aromas are of hot alcohol,sour funk,and cherry ludens.flavor is much of the same.with a little smoke,oak,and sherri thrown in.different but not bad.

Aroma of cinnamon and faint cooked apples. What I thought to be rubber was actually oak notes. I need practice. Deep ruby, cranberry color. Flavor of sweet cherry candies(lifesavers) with the great sour base beer as the knockout. Not too tart...oh wait, there it is! It lines the mouth with a carbonated cherry puckering sensation.

08.03.05 330ml bottle, dated 10.31.05 Red body looks like a glass of cranberry juice. Pink head but not much of it. Vinegar and cherries on the nose. Socks. Oak. Cig ash(?). Very sweet and mild, fruit forward. Decent, dry, sweet, tingly. Still seems young, like more time in the wood might be beneficial. Enjoyable in all of the ways I dig on flemmish sours.

BB 10/31/2005... Poured a clear, ruby red color with a thin, off white head that left no lacing on the glass. Aroma of sweet cherries, grapes, port wine, and light oak. Taste of medicinal, sweet cherries, faint oak, and a lingering tartness. The first sip was a shocker, but I got used to this.

Sour cherry aroma. A very sour taste, this is almost wine in which they’ve added some cherry’s.(Bottle 25cl)

Bottle. Deep red with a slim pink head. Aroma of sour cherries. Very sweet, nicely sour. Medium, highly carbonated mouthfeel. Sour aftertaste. Pretty good.
