Bottle shared by bhensonb. Pours orange copper with a sharp yeasty aroma. and a thick fluffy white head. There is a fruity flavor, just a little cherry, and a slightly sour finish. Tastes more like a saison than a kriek.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Tasted this at YNWA on Beer day, with a little gratious help from some out of town freinds.
Fruity aroma, with notes of sour berries, bret, malt, wood and yeast.
The taste is sweet’ish, with a quite tart aftertaste. Fine notes of spices, malt, yeast and fruit. Quite nice, but not as tart as it’s belgian counterparts.

3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
75cl. bottle shared at BeerCentre. It pours a hazy amber-pink bubbly liquid with a very high bubbly durable pink head that lasts throughout the beer and leaves a good lacing. The aroma is fruity and gueuze like, with hints of cherries, a little peach and apricot and a slight wheaty touch. There are some spices too; it smells sour to the core. It tastes very much like expected, not very intense, with a good deal of sourness and a little bitterness and sweetness. In the mouth it feels very lively carbonated (but not annoying), reminding of Asturian cider. It has a light-medium body and a long dry and quite sour finish with an aftertaste of cherry and some other fruits. An exquisite presentation (though it lacks a customized crown cap) for a light original sour ale that makes for a nice aperitif.

Thank you, yespr. Fruity aroma, seems unclean, perhaps just bretty. Cloudy pink/amber colour. The flavour is sweetish, a bit fruit juicy, hint of acid, but not enough to balance sweetness. Also a little funky note. Isotonic mouthfeel.
