Very sour with a bitterish accent. Definitely an exotic taste for the usual pale lager drinker.

tmoreau (1268) - Lombard, Illinois, USA - OCT 2, 2009
Sampled at a Mead, Cider, and Beer Tasting sponsored by Binny’s Bverage Depot in Glen Ellyn, IL. Poured to my wine/sampler glass a cranberry juice red with a white, bubbly, film and small foamy ring. The nose was hints of funky, barnyard yeast and very tart cherry. The flavor continued the tartness and added a hint of wood and lively carbonation.

Mine had 4% ABV, unlike its related here. Its head was small and pink. Fair lacing. Fully diminishing. Flat, thick, dark purple body, like Fanta grape. Aroma: lot of CHERRY. IF: heavy sweetness and light acidic. FF: heavy sweet and light acidic. Average duration. Palate: light body, watery texture, medium carbonation and light astringent finish. It tastes like cherry juice and also reminds me of a sparkling wine, without the complexity of a Lambic/Gueuze. I did not notice nothing apart from cherry.10s

330mL Bottle. Nice dense, caramelized and jammy sour cherry nose. Pungent, puckery, and tangy. A real rich ruby ring. Pours a murky blood and apple-skin red, with a rose ring of foam. Flavor carries similar punchy cherry notes, heavy on the pie filling and the lollipop characters. More subdued in the flavor, but forward. However, lambic-like character fails to develop. There’s some faint cotton dryness, a touch of barrel, and a light guezey-ness, but not really. A lot of cherry juice. Little acidity. I guess I look for more hybrid lambic-fruit character and much more acidity. This is soft and sugary. Nice fruit character, but a little yellow-bellied, as fruit lambics go.

weaselkenievil (1089) - Cheshire, ENGLAND - AUG 27, 2009
Bottle my good wife was trying to drink somewhere in Belgium. A lot of cherry, very cherry you could say. Aroma was a little vinegar like and sour, cherry again. Flavour is cherry, very drinkable and I thought the sweetness was about bang on.

Pours dark red, small head. Nice cherry aroma, at the end some little sour hints. Ideal on a hot day lile these, enjoyable and light.
