3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
375 ml bottle @ home.
Pours a cloudy red colour with a frothy pink head. Sweet aroma of cherries and oak. The taste is sweet too, but it isn’t very complex as the body is way too thin. Sugar ruins it. Light bodied, watery to fizzy mouthfeel and soft carbonation. Average.

2008. Pours a nice ruby red with pink head. Aroma is sweet n sour cherries. Taste is a nice mix of malt and tart cherries. Finishes smooth with a light tart after taste.
3.9 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
On tap @ Belgian Beer Weekend 2010. Very beautiful red beer with small head. Very fruity and acid aroma. Typical lambic flavour with nice sourness and nice presence of cherries. A very good fruit beer.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
2008 vintage. 750 ml bottle at De Heeren van Liedekercke. Pours a bright red color with a huge fluffy pink head. The aroma is all sweet cherries and some wood. The flavor is very nice; not over the top sweet but very sweet nonetheless. Huge cherries, very natural. No tartness. Nice.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Tap at RnH. Cranberry pour with a pink head. Aroma is cherry syrup, and that is all. Flavor is cherry syrup, and that is all. Thankfully it is sweet without being cloying. Crisp, slightly acetic palate. This is fairly one-dimensional but is also fairly good.
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
A blood red brew with a tart fruit aroma. Flavor is of tart cherries, with a good amount of sweetness. Not something I’d want every day, but rather a good dessert beer for that special occasion - or to turn on your wine drinking friends to what beer can be!
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours ruby red with a lasting, pink head. Aroma of sour cherries. Taste mostly of sour cherries with notes of wood, vanilla, bread and alcohol. Well balanced. Medium bodied and slick. A little carbonation. Not my favourite lambic but still pretty good.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
2008 bottle. Pours a nice red with a thin head. Not a ton of carbonation. Tastes like a red wine, but not as dry as I would’ve liked. I enjoyed the flavor though - sour and sharp, yet full of cherry and possibly some oak? Maybe not quite as sour as I would’ve liked, but no complaints here.
