Deep rich ruby red with an effervescent fast-fading pink head. Aromas of fresh mashed chokecherries (I’m serious-- this reminded me immediately of the smell in the kitchen when my dad made chokecherry jam when I was a kid) and something musty/earthy. Fresh sweet & sour cherry juice flavour with a definite sour finish that squeezes the saliva from your mouth in the first few sips. There is more here though, something woody and earthy and faintly yeasty too. Beguiling and different and quite good.

25 cl. bottle. Pours a clear deep amber-red colour with a fizzy short lasting head. Sour cherry aroma with a slight rubber touch, alcohol and slight wood. The flavour is sweet and quite sour with cherries, malt, bit woody and a touch of rubber. Sour cherry dry finish.

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.

12 oz bottle, into tulip snifter glass. Pours a luscious tone of pink-red with slightly red tinted, quickly dissapearing head. Nose is dominated by sour cherries, but unusual hints of vinegar, wood, and a very slight malt sweetness show up. Spritzy but thin on the palate, sour cherries give a slight puckering sensation, turns into a strange menthol-like finish. If you like the style this is a decent example.

Sampled on draught: Pours a bright bright ruby red colour with an enormous white head. Aroma is fruity and enticing, licorice, raspberries and cherries on the nose. Taste is creamy, definately well carbonated in the mouthfeel. Flavours of cherries, peaches and soft oak.
