Poured a light reaad with a tiny pink halo that stuck to the glass. Nose was heavy on cherries, tart, and smells highly of sour acids. Taste is big on cherry, but not sweet, very tart cherry with a nice level of sour and tart with mild dry funk.

Very sour cherry aroma and flavor. Palate is very overwhelmingly fruity. Dark clear red color with no head. Refreshing and very very enjoyable!

Bottle 37,5cl. Pours a clear dark red colour with no head and little to no carbonation. Aroma is very cherry like, but also the obvious sourness there of a good lambic. Taste is a nice mixture of sourness, alcohol and cheriies. Makes the jaw squeeze by the sourness, but just not too sour, and goes down nicely.

Bottle from Toronado S.D. Pours a hazy deep pink with a thin head but fades. Aroma of very tart cherry, brett, and lots of lacto. Lots of all around lambic flavors including a real sour finish, although not as acidic as some cantillons. Funky all the way through with a moderate amount of cherry that has lost some of its freshness which is nice. Very nice overall- I liked this a lot better than the oud beersel oud kriek.

Color of pomegranate juice and cloudy with a decent sized pink head. Aroma is tart with heavy funk, fruit and wood. Taste is of funk, tart, fruit and wood.

Bottle @ Torre, De Haan. Pours a dark reddish color with a small pinkish head. Has a fruity tart cherry and and cherry pit aroma with some funky hints. Slightly tart sour cherry flavor with some woody hints. Has a fruity tart sour cherry finish.

bottle shared at July BA tasting. Pours a ruby red with essentially no head. Nose is of sour cherries. Taste is tart, sour cherries with some oak. Mouthfeel is thin and the sourness is not overpowering. Rather good.
