Jan 22, 2006 Best before date isn’t notched on this bottle. Transparent dirty orange color with no head, a few carbonation bubbles and that’s it. Aroma and flavor both have a candied cherry character to them with musty farmhouse funk taking over in the finish. Long cork/wood aftertaste.

Jan 17, 2006 Brick red muck. Compact pinkish head. Nose is dominated by paint and medicinal cherry aromatics. Touch of musty concrete. Softly carbonated. Soggy, heavily sweet frontal notes of cherries which is entirely one-dimensional. Flabby sweetness steadily climbs and the sparse acidity fails to allay the aggressiveness of it. No complexity, whatsoever. Finishes just as it started, only with the faintest note of iron swirled with a strawlike malt accent as the temperature rises. A “kriek lambic” eh? Back to the drawing board because this is borderline abominable.

Jan 2, 2006 I’m going to be contrarian on this one. Pours hazy ruby with very small white head. Nose is faint cherry. Cherry flavor predominates, very sweet, with some oak leaves and a faint mustiness towards the end. Refreshing, easy to drink, and underrated.

Nov 11, 2005 Aroma of cherries, a bit of sourness. Poured a burnt amber with a tiny bit of soda like head. Flavor was totally off, funky, unpleasant, and palate was way too thick and creamy for a lambic.

Oct 25, 2005 Smells a bit of cherry chloraceptic. Raspberry colored with a thin pink-tinted white head. Cherry flavor in the fore, but some odd pesticide flavor follows strongly afterwards. Cherry-Raid! It tastes like it could almost be good, but as it is that pesticide flavor is way too off putting.

Oct 16, 2005 I liked this one. Not exceptional, definitely not an everyday beer, but an interesting experience nonetheless. The smell has some odd associations, cherry glue, sweet, almost artificial and cloying, with very candy notes.
Teaste is not as sweet as belied by the smell. Very sippable.

Sep 21, 2005 Tap, ZBF 2005. Hazy red brown, thin pinkish head and low condition. Artificial syrupy sweet cherry notes pervade throughout. Not at all pleasant.

Sep 3, 2005 Cough syrup/oak/candy sugar/and a little carbonation to save the day. Not bad but nothing I’d seek out again.
