Almost artificial like Sucrets brand throat lozenges. Tastes the same. Slightly tart and slightly sweet at the same time. Puckering in the mouth after swallowing. Decent. This is almost the same profile as the original Transatlantique. There is a slight bitter aftertaste. Decent beer.

Bottle shared with Dutchdrebus and Joes. Slightly unclear reddish color, small off - white head that diminishes almost instantly. Smell krieken, slightly sourish and sweetish at the same time. Taste sour cherries, a touch of sweetness, dry. Although I was having a bit of a hard time holding it down in the beginning it’s actually a very good beer.

3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle:
Small sized, pretty quick changing (into a thin lacing) off white ashy head on top of an almost clear red colored beer.
Smell loads and loads of cherries. Smells like those uber sweet krieks.
Luckily the taste proves different, lovely tart with cherries, berries, yeast and some malts. Not much else. The tartness changes slowly into a more malty bitterness which tends to go to nasty but stops on the border.
Aftertaste is some cherries with malts, bitters, dust and some light yeast tones.
Low carbo, soft light dry mouthfeel, good medium body and a light watery texture.
4.2 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle at Ben’s. Rosy Amber. Aroma is like no other beer I’ve tried. Haribo fizzy cherries from the Tangfastic bag. Jammy. Slightly sour. So Fruity. Brilliant.
