Commercial Description:
A fully fermented beer with a full flavor - not surprisingly strong, but with a gentle but sharp bouquet.

(bottle) Dark red (almost black) body with small brown head that fades fast. Balsamic and vinegar aroma with cherry-like fruit. Flavor has that same acidic sweetness. Very, very tart - I love it. A round, soft, medium-to-full mouth-feel. I love flemish sours.

Bottle. Minimal white head, some lace. Hazy amber/brown liquid. Vinegar and lots of yeast with spiciness. Very dry and sour vinegar flavor with saltiness. Medium body with lots of Co2. Good one!

(0.33 l bottle at Konttori, Tampere, on 2008-03-08) Dark reddish colour. Hardly any head. Very sour nose. Malts and acidiness in taste. Fruitiness and vomit in taste.

From my backlog. Layers of sweetness within here. A great representation of the style. Moderate acidic notes, gorgeous color and poured a beautiful head and lacing. Upfront yeast notes with bits of balsamic vinegar and lime. Quite a bit of dried cherries present with a slight character of oak mid-palate. Just a bit sharp with the intensity of acidity for myself.
