Bottle… Clear and extremely dark (deep ruby when held up to the sun) with a huge, pink cotton candy head. Good retention. The nose is of sweet black cherries with only a fraction of the cool funkiness found in their gueuze. Light to medium-bodied with spritzy carbonation. Cloyingly sweet and fruity with mild acidity and almost no bitterness. Cherries and candy sugar. Cherry Swee Tart® finish. Bottle provided by ygtbsm94!

Pours deep red and a frothy pink head. Sweet cherry pie aroma, not bad but lacks some sourness. Overly sweet cherry flavor as well, rather thin mouth. Commercial and boring.

Couleur rougeâtre, apparence semi opaque surmontée d’une énorme mousse rose. arômes de sirop de cerise et de punch aux fruits, le comble de l’artificiel. Saveurs unidimensionnelles de jus de cerise, de gomme baloune et de friandises pour amuser les petits. Aucune caractéristique sauvage ni d’acidité n’est au rendez-vous. Carbonatation piquante prenant beaucoup d’espace, texture aqueuse. Ne devrait jamais pouvoir porter l’appellation de lambic. Bouteille 37.5cl (de trop), Délirium Café, Décembre 2005.

75cl bottle, vintage 2011. This is unfortunately a sweetened lambic. Tastes like cherry sweets, no funk or sourness and its colour is a muddy brown which seems odd. Won’t be what your looking for if your wanting a traditional example of the style.
