teorn88 (567) - Rimini, ITALY - APR 29, 2011
37,5cl bottle. 2006 vintage. Pours deep ruby color, cannot see trough the glass, with a meidum rose head. Aroma is definitely sour cherries, horseblankets, white wine and some grassy-lemony aromas. Taste is quite acidic with a nice fruity presence. Little skunk and grassy notes. Very nice balance between fruity tart cherries notes and traditional lamic acidity. Body is medium with lively carbonation.

abemorsten (1201) - Randaberg, NORWAY - APR 12, 2011
Shared bottle courtesy of tarjei. Clear red with a pink creamy head that disappates. Apples, raspberries, cherries and other berries in the aroma. Acidic fresh flavor with notes of berries and vinegar. Astringent. Medium bodied and a dry finish.

jgb9348 (3369) - Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia, USA - APR 1, 2011
2008 Bottle sampled in early 2011. Great deep red coloured body with a strong hazy dark ruby glow and a thick fast-dying pink head. Simply beautiful. Aroma of pungent cherries, sour grapes, yeast and way more sour flavours - great and mouth-watering! Medium-bodied; Strong effervescence with a great pungent sour flavour at first with grapes and a little yeast behind with a BIG mouthful of sour cherries, light grapes and a good sweetnes for the style. Aftertaste pungent from the sourness with a good cherry sweetness that lasts a long time. Overall, easily one of the best beers I’ve had in Germany, Belgium and Holland this trip - a great beer that should be sampled by everyone! I sampled this 37,5 cL ’split’ bottle purchased from Cracked Kettle in Amsterdam, The Netherlands on 03-January-2011 for €4,65 sampled later in the day from my hotel room in Amsterdam, when I couldn’t find this beer at all in the whole of Bruxelles. Best by date of 21-January-2030!

jrallen34 (3434) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - MAR 22, 2011
This beer pours a deep red almost light purple with a light pink head. there is minimal lacing. It smells very tart, slight notes of cherry and alcohol. This beer is exceedintly tart from start to finish. I wish there was a touch of sweetness and it would take this from an average to outstanding lambic
