Draft at GBBF ’06. Dark red with a white head. No, it has a faint pink tinge to it. Cheese and sour cherry aroma. Vinegary sourness, but not overpowering as it blends wonderfully with the sweetness of the real cherries. Superb.

Bottle purchased yesterday at Nikki’s Liquor in Providence. Date is best before 10/18/08. Pours a really nice dark red with a tan half finger nose. Taste is very tart with a nice cherry feeling, the kriek aspect of this is interesting and all over the place and overall its a tasty sour. Not the best and not the worst.

Deep red color, pink head. Aroma is like a flemish sour ale, oak wood, cherry, but with some sweet cherry kriek added. Taste is like the duchesse de bourgogne, but just some kriek added to it, not really well balanced. Taste is quite ok though, sour and a bit sweet.

Well I would love to rate this one based on a good bottle, but I cannot...the one I had was pure vinegar. So I will give this an average rating...right down the middle.

Bottle. Musty cherry aroma. Ruby red color with moderate head. Sweet cherry evenly blended with musty sourness. Nice mixture of sweet and sour.

Delicious sour cherry aroma. Cherry pie and vinnegar. Reddish brown with a light head. You steel yourself for the sour cherry onslaught and still your defenses are breached as the sour cherry coats your mouth and sinks in between your teeth. Not as complex as some others but simple, tart and delicious.

Bottle. Ruby-raspberry color with a quickly disapating pinkish head. Dusty, earthy, tart, fruity aroma. Fruity (cherry) flavor with light earthy tartness. Nice complexity. Lingering earthy, cherry flavor.

Sampled at le Mondial de la bière 2005. Pours a clear dark red color with a thin offwhite head. Sweet aroma of cherries. Sweet and sour flavor of cherries. Light to medium body, soft carbonation.
