ZBF 2008.
Deep red-amber colour, with pale-pink head. Sweetish cherry stone aroma with woody notes and very gentle. Light sourish in flavour with cherries, and nicely tart. I did not find it very complex though. Still, very tasty!

Jul 14, 2008 Bottle from bstill, I think. Thanks Brian! Have had this many times before but not in a while. I forgot how much I love this beer. Nice, sour cherry aroma. Earthy, sour cherry, oak, stinky farmhouse flavor. Delicious. Very approachable sour and quite tasty if you didn’t understand what I meant my delicious.

Jul 14, 2008 Bottle-sampled at three-years-old: Pours a nice glowing, muddy ruby red with a dense, pinkish head that fades to a film. Fantastic aroma! Very funky with earthy farmhouse, funked/lactic cheese, leather and a touch of cherry skins when it warms. Fluffy and sharp texture. Sour flavor with lots of earthiness. Has some oak, farmhouse, leather, lemon juice, grapefruit, and just a touch of sour cherries, which becomes more apparent with warmth. The finish is fairly clean. Tart and cleansing. Nice stuff!

Jul 1, 2008 750ml bottle from WLV Liquors consumed on 5/25/08. Pours a pink red with a pink white head. Sweet sugars, fruit, pale malts, and hay in the nose. Sour cherries, fruit flavors. Sweet with slight tartness that is clean and without any funk. A little watery, but a tasty beer.

Jun 22, 2008 Bottle, green glassed and wrapped without a label, corked and capped. Best before end of 07-2009 implies this was bottled in 07-2004. Very tart, acidic nose with a little stale tire air. Big, dark (black) sour cherries and just a touch of lemon. Woody with some funk. The kind of nose that I know is going to taste amazing, but that requires stomach preparation. Noisy pinkish head on a lovely ruby-pink body. Extremely robust taste is extremely sour, mouth-puckeringly and head-shakingly so (with a few moments of single-eyed squinting thrown in), huge sour cherry and solid acidic lambic base. Medium-full body, very dry kriek ending. A simple thing done extremely, extremely well.
