Bottled. A hazy red beer with a thn off-white head. The aroma is sour and dusty with a note of rotten fruits. The flavor is sour with notes of berries, fruit, and alcohol that tickles the tongue. The finish is tart.

UPDATED: JUN 13, 2005 (Bottle) Very beautiful clear and pronounced red beer, with a sediment that sticks to the bottom of the bottle and a slightly rosy head, that descends flat and creamy. The beer is quite dry. The cherries are obvious, but doesn’t add sweetness, more sourness. The base-beer is probably a blond ale. 191004

Bottled. Cherry red. Bigaroon aroma. Medium bodied with clean mouthfeel. Juicy flavour of bigaroon (not at all the typical cherry flavour you’ll find in most Belgian kriekbiers), some lighl acidity and some sweetness. Unlike the other beers I had from t’Gaverhopke it doesn’t really take off.

Clear red with a tiny white head. Sourish cherries in the nose along with rubber. Flavour was soruish with cherries and almonds. Finished dry and sourish.

Pours hazy golden with a small white head and lacings. Barnyard, dust and earth. Marzipan and a vague tartness. Medium bodied.
