Bottle @ Mid March Tasting, Ulfborg 2012. Batch 278. Pours cloudy blood red with a small bubbly head. Sour and funky cherries with a bit of marzipan. Dry and acidic flavor. Fresh and tart. Nice.

Slightly hazy, reddish brown cherry colour, slight pinkish white head. Aroma of tart cherries, light sweet cherry touches, wood and vanilla tones. Quite tart flavour, sour cherry, lots of fruity cherries. Light cherry pips. Finish fruity cherry with a slight astringency. Very nice! Whether it is age or the different recipe I don’t know, but I like this one much more than the newer Kerasus.
(From 33cL bottle @ RBBWG Antwerpen. Thanks for sharing, 77ships!)

33 cl bottle @ RBBWG 2012, Antwerpen. Thanks to 77ships. Hazy reddish brown coloured beer with some light carbonation and a rather small white head. Roasted malty hinted aroma with a nice sour fruity balanced palate. Finish is again rather shour, light roasted oaky hinted. Nicely oaked matured beer. I believe this one is more sour than the newer Kerasus. But still very enjoyable.

33 cl. bottle sampled @ RBWG 2012 – personal contribution – pours a bright cherry/pomegranate colour with basically no head – smell is lots of tart & slightly sweet cherries – taste is tart cherries, lots of them, clear & defined, very fruity, touch acidic followed by an undertone/aftertaste of sweeter cherries, bit syrup, liqueur-like, touch old wood, easy drinkable, soft carb. very nice

50 cl bottle @ RBBWG 2012, Antwerpen. Courtesy of 77ships. Couleur rubis acajou avec une mousse fine laissant qcq bulles blanches. Arôme est agréablement fruité avec ce profile cerise et peau de cerises broyées / noyaux. En bouche, profile aigre très prononcé laissant entrapercevoir des tanins de cerise, le tout sur une note épicée voire boisée. Une sour qui est prononcée et garde ce fini très aigre fruité qui est appréciable mais pour les palais avertis.

Bottle at yespr. Hazy red brown coloured with a medium sized beige head. Fruity and light acidic aroma of sweat, berries and red wine. Fruity and light acidic flavour of cherries and red wine. Tart finish.

at yespr tasting. cloudy brown, small light brown head. aroma is sour and tart, dark fruity, complex. flavor is tart and dark fruity, sour, slightly citrussy. spicy. The spices sort of draws down a little bit. Otherwise nice and refreshing beer.
