Mar 18, 2007 (Bottled) Nice, deep ruby color with an almost unexisting head. Sweetish, tart cherry aroma with some oak barrel. Sweet-sour, mildly tart cherry and cranberry flavor with low bitterness. Medium-bodied, slightly astringent, but mostly sugary palate with a bit foamy carbonation. A quite nice dessert kriek, although there is too much sugar.

Aug 3, 2005 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.

Oct 31, 2004 Dark red color with no head. Cherry aroma. Very old, cherry taste, like they are old to the point of mushiness, but not so far gone that they are rotten. Odd presence of malt as well. It didn’t strike me as sour.

Jan 15, 2005 Updated: Apr 21, 2005Best before June 6th 2005 bottle. Don’t know why most readily available Flemish Sour Ales in the U.S. are so heavily filtered, but this one sure is. Still, a ruddy-strawberry rhubarb color, with some medium dark beige/brown tones and a small but somewhat persistent off-white head. Aroma of new plastic, light cherries, a touch of acetic acid and light oak suggestions. Flavor, to my surprise, is not as simple and cherryish as I would have expected. Having not particularly cared for the Vichtenaar, I thought I would like this even less (I don’t like fruit in lambics or sour ales as much as I like the classic rendition). But the cherries do not dominate, there is a lightly sugary flavor, but the beer does present a decent oakiness, with some good instances of sourness along the way. It’s nothing that knocks your socks off. Lightly tart yeast notes, oak and vinegar notes mix with the cherries on the finish. Strange chalk or gum-like consistency to it, almost like chewing a cherry candy chew. Much better stuff out there (can you say "Alexander"), can’t see myself drinking this again.
