chicagobears (376) - Elk Grove Village, Illinois, USA - MAR 5, 2006
Squezzed cherry color and head. Very tart and sour cherry-peel flavor. Can get a bit too much after a while. Strange enough I did not expect the cherry flavor to overpower everything else. I have not tried any other lambics. I will try some others like Cantillon to compare to this. Unfortunetly, this destroyed my palate for anything else I Itried that evening. The tart cherry lingers and lingers and lingers...

bgburdman9 (838) - Beavercreek, Ohio, USA - MAY 6, 2006
Aroma of tart cherries and sourness. Flavor was also very sour. The flavor was very unique though. It was a little too sour for me. Not horrible but not a style I am going to seek out.

reakt (946) - Greater London, ENGLAND - APR 1, 2007
UPDATED: SEP 2, 2007 cask @ southwark tavern. Clear red w. pink head. Smells like cherry cough drops. Tastes like cherry cough drops. Finish of dried fruits. Very artificial and sickly sweet. Its only redeeming feature is the creamy full body.
