Bottle shared with GregClow, Hogtown Harry, Jerc, Blankboy, and Garthicus, courtesy of Harry. Fantastic sour and tart aroma. Almost pink, hazy, like tomato juice, small white head. Great taste - very sour - mouth puckering. Some spicy notes as well and of course cherries. Terrific.

Bottle shared with HogTownHarry, blankboy, tupalev, jerc & garthicus - courtesy of HogTownHarry. Hazy ruby-pink. Aroma is funky and tart, like a spicy and yeasty cherry vinegar. Flavour isn’t quite as funky as the aroma suggests, but it’s pretty damn tart, with big sour cherry notes and a drying, yeasty finish. Perhaps a bit too bracing, but still pretty nice.

Bottle (750ml) shared with HogTownHarry, GregClow, tupalev, jerc & garthicus -- courtesy of HogTownHarry. Pours a murky red with an average size diminishing pinkish-white head.

3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
750mL bottle. Pours a very bright, medium ruby-red color; decently sized bright pink head with good retention and fine-bubbled lacing; really nice pour. High levels of solid acidity and tartness in the aroma: fair show of funk, tart citrus, pitty red fruits (skins, minimal tannins) including cherries and red raspberries; very nice, developed tartness. Lively carbonation and mouthwatering acidity. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: loads of upfront red fruits (cherries, raspberries, and slight strawberries), lemony citrus, and reasonable amounts of funky cheese and tartness; crisp, and dry overall; very nice rendition of a kriek-like sour ale without taking away too significantly from the solid fruit character; very enjoyable. Lengthy, tart finish: lemons, cherries, and lasting sourness and funk.
