A full-bodied brown ale made with cherries. Has an intense fruit flavor, but no sweetness - and yet, doesn’t have the sourness of a lambic. Worth trying.

Pours attractive garnet color with no head. The nose and the flavor are full of vinous over ripe fruits and balsamic vinegar.

33cl bottle Pours dark red with a hint of brown. Little to no head. Smells sour with cherries, a little vanilla, little oak. Taste is quite sour like it could almost be lambic based yet still like a flemish sour. Overall sourness immediately with cherries, oak, and ends light and dry. Tough to believe 6.8% alcohol!

Very fruity aroma, tart cherries. Pours a dark reddish brown. No foamy head of any kind. Carbonation is mild. 6.8% abv. Quite interesting to consider. Flavor is of very tart cherry and potent oak. Not beer-like in a conventional sense at all. Absolutely no bitterness factor. I am surprised it’s not classified as a lambic, but there’s no indication from any of the beer outlets I shop that it is.

Bottle. High fluffy but lasting pink head. Clear ruby and lovely body. Mild sour cherries aroma with a bit of oak as well. Relatively sour cherries lemon flavor. Would not have guessed on such a high alcohol percentage. Low carbonation. Like the long sour aftertaste. Nice surprise.

Bottle. It pours a lovely, clear, well-carbonated ruby red body with a lasting finger-thick pinkish white head. Cherryish, lemon-sourish aroma with hints of oak. Tart, yet sweetish flavor with cherries and some lemon. Medium, effervescent mouthfeel with palate-cleansing qualities. Cherries, lemon and some sweetness in the finish. So smooth and easy to drink, and wonderfully refreshing. Well hidden alcohol makes it a dangerous one. (080823)
