Strength of vinegar distracting making me question whether I have a bad bottle. Need to re-rate after finding another sample. TChrome (1303), Bedford, Texas, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Apr 22, 2007 Beer pours dark reddish brown with a beige colored head that somewhat dissipates. Aroma is really nice with lots of cherries and vinegar and wet wood. Mouthfeel is very nice, lively carbonation, yet very soft. Flavors of cherries, moderately sour and wet wood. Finish is dry and and carbonated like ginger ale. Quite an enjoyable beverage. omhper (12305), Stockholm, Sweden
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Apr 17, 2007 Updated: Jun 26, 2007Bottled at Belgobaren, Stockholm. Deep ruby, almost clear, airy head. Tart aroma of black cherries. Intensely citric with notes of wood. Light bodied with spritzy mouthfeel and lots of freshening acidity. Lightly earthy with notes of blueberries and tart cherries. Excellent! JoeinUccle (911), Brussels, Belgium
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 17, 2007 Reddish-brown, thin but lasting head. Sour, coppery, cherry aroma. Flavor is fruity and vinous with cherries and red grape. Lively mouthfeel--bubbly. The tartness is the highlight, but it’s controlled, and there’s a dry, musty finish. Refreshing and far from simple.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 14, 2007 Pours a ruby reddish brown, thin head. Very strong aroma, but smelled vinegary behind the initial blast of cherry scents. Great strong tart cherry and apple flavors. Like a cider at first, but not so sicky sweet. Nice tight fine carbonation. Long tangy finish that warms the throat a bit. But very refreshing. Really an outstanding drink. PhillyBeer2112 (2093), Orange Park, Florida, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Mar 30, 2007 Now that’s an aroma! Plainly acetic, it smells like a weak balsamic vinegar, although there’s also a touch of apple cider vinegar, also lightly oaky, I wanna say there’s some fruit in there but I can’t really isolate it, perhaps plum. Purply brown color, minimal head and effervescence. Weird, it tastes a touch acetic, with a vinous note that kinda reminds me of grape soda, or wine made from concord grapes. Actually it reminds me of the sangria soda - yes thats it, it has the combination of mild tartness, astringency/tannins, and carbonation of the sangria grape sodas sold around here in latin-american groceries. I guess its a good thing I like those! There’s a lingering oakiness in the finish, alongwith a lip smacking sugary sweetness. Not the most complex, nor sour, flemish sour ale, but it is light and easy drinking.
