Bottle @ fonefan tasting. Nice head with good duration. Color is golden. Aroma and taste are brett, fruits, wood, wine, pepper, malt and hops.

75 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden orange with a small white head. Aroma is fruity, light toasted malty and brett. Smooth fruity, light brett and mild peachy. Lingering fruity and berries. Medium dry brett finish.

Very good, dense, faintly amberish tinted head over well-carbonated foxy amber bere, cloudy and riddled with volcanicaly erupting, upwelling utterly ugly UFO’s. Wave of wild fruit in the nose - and a touch of Brett?!? Rhubarb, bit of caramelmalts, but not suggesting sweetness. Again wild fruit and agàin an impression of Bretts - halfway between the lambic and the floormop variety. Ends on some faint caramel, and some vague fruity esters. Spices are there, but not overwhelming. Warming up, some strange aromatics, reminding me of aftershave, whilst the Brett impression fades away. Well carbonated, seriously alleviating the slickness & body. And now for the $ 10,000.- question - where are the cherries? Or put differently: how much were actually added? Maybe as many as the masking spices? And (UUUU) where the hell do they get that gruesome looking yeast?

Red amber colour, beige head. Aroma of old lambic, rhubarb, hubba bubba chewing gum, red fruits and light caramel. Malty flavour, light sweet, light wild yeast. Finish red fruits and hubba bubba chewing gum.

Bottle, 75cl corked. It’s a hazy, golden-orange beer topped by a small, dense, off-white head. The aroma is lightly fruity, with some spiced hints and sugary maltyness. Quite weak. The flavor is sweetish, fruity and with a nice bitterness, Not much cherry going on. Some white sugar, and a faint touch of pine cones. Medium to full body, soft carbonation. Not impressive in any way, but sure drinkable. 130215
