dark red brown coloured body with a off white head a sweet cherry candy aroma a sweet cherry candy sour taste with a cherry bitter finish

Dark red coloured beer with small off-white head and only few carbonation visible. Full cherry aroma. Full sparkling and fruity palate. Finish is cherry sweet ending dry.

Bottled (from beerplanet.eu). Ruby colour, small reddish beige head. Aroma is cherries, mild sour wood, some slight barnyard as well as quite wooden notes. Flavour is tart wooden and cherry notes along with some slight yeasty notes as well as mild red berries.

Big old cherry cough drop nose. Flavor is sweet, but not cloying; nice balance of acid and sugar. Reminds me very much of Jones Black Cherry Soda. Not very funky or particularly complex but pretty pleasant drinking.

Bottle. Red colour with a pink head. Aroma is cherry, sournes, vinous. Flkavour is cherry, sourness, vinous. Medium body. Nice beer.

Bottle, 375ml corked, from trade with jbrus. A dark candy red beer with a small pinkish head. Lots of cherries on the nose, almosts and a funky touch. Vinous, at least a little bit. Slightly citric on the palate, dry and medium-bodied with good carbonation. Cherries and almost flavor, lacking a bit on the funk. Cherry finish. A very smooth drinking beer that slakes the thirst, but not a world class example of the style. 100326

bottle, reddish colour with almost no white head. Smell: sourness. Taste: sour, sweet and a wit watery. Cherries and lemon. Very average for a gueuze-beer, but still good!

Bottle. [thank you, Hildigöltur]

Pours deep ruby red with a nice, creamy, pink head. Aroma has almonds, cherries and pistacio. High to medium carbonation, fine sweet mouthfeel. Flavour is sweet, cherries, light almonds and mild tartness. Actually quite fine and elegant for a sweet-ish kriek.
