has aroma of cherries obviously, smells very fresh. very dark maroon colour with a thin head would get a 5 if head was bigger yet still very nice looking. tastes like cherries. a little bit sour. goes down very easily. as close to ideal as i have found.

Reddish colour with bubbly light-red head. Sweet acidic cherry aroma. Sweet cherry flavour with notes of wood, some bitterness and sourness in the end.

I liked this beer because the cherry wasn´t overpowering, the beer was warming, and got better as it got warmer. Not the best fruit beer, but pretty good.

Holder et nydeligt skum for typen. Farve og duft er som forvente. En anelse svag i kulsyren, men ellers meget god (igen som forventet) smag af syrlig kirsebær. Flader dog lidt ud til sidst. Okay, men ikke imponerende. Smager godt, og kan sikkert drikkes i pæne mængder.

This one kinda reminded me of cherry flavored soda. It pours to a deep reddish color with a thin pink-white head. Smells like cherries, as expected. It has only a slight tartness from the cherries, no real lactic acid sourness is detectable. It seems like a subdued lambic/ fruit beer, but would probably be a good introduction to the style for the less adventurous.

Pours a big fluffy head. Medium brown with dark red tinges. Very aromatic nose of confectionary cherry notes - true to form. Poor flavour profile - sour sourness and citrus from the fruit is let down by a skunky, slightly stale feel. No traditoinal beer flavours to speak of. My first Lambic so I don’t really know what I’m doing. Maybe not m bag but I’m sure this is a bad bottle.

Bottle. Dark, red coloured with a slim pink head. Aroma is cherry and medicinal-ish. Disappointing flavour, cherry, medicinal and wood, no nice sourness to be seen. Poor mouthfeel.
