Commercial Description:
This is the result of blending black cherries lambic of different ages followed by a second fermentation in the bottle. Storage is similar like geuze. All bottles are champagne corked and can be reserved, in normal conditions, for more than thirty years. It is obvious that an amazing taste evolution takes place.

Bottle from Uto. Opaque pinkish brown with no head. Not like the picture at all. Funny, it’s more of a lemon lime nose than cherry, much like a regular geueze rather than a kriek. Sour and tangy, which I like but still no sign of cherries, did I get a mislabelled bottle?. Salty with notes of yeast. Acidic and fizzy, sediment from the last pour adds some body. Good but not what I expected. (8/3/8/3/16)
Bottle from Nelson Wines. Wow, this is the best bottle of this I’ve ever had, so much rich black cherry and lambic funk, wow, just amazing!

Pours dark amber with almost no head. The aroma is lightly sour and quite tart with some light cherries that add to the other tartness. The aroma is quite full for a lambic. Medium body that is more full than most lambics with lots of crisp sharpness. The taste starts with a lush version of tartness, wild lambic yeast, sharp spice and tart cherries - very rich for the style, yet there is a sharp citric bite. The finish has much of the same. Thumbs up </B. for this enjoyable and wonderful lambic.

750 ml bottle Very sour acidic cherry aromas off this very ruby brew. Very small head that left quickly. What a crazy sour flavor. I have had plenty sour beers, but this one seems to be the sourest so far. Sour cherries, and still acidic through the finish. Very yummy. Now to have this pucker surgically removed from my face....

0.375 bottle. Hazy red-amber color. Strong sour and leathery aroma with sulphur, rose, strawberry and cherry. Intense sour flavor with strawberry, raspberry and cherry. Fairy acidic beer, but not overly so.

750ml bottle at Cohen and Cook in Bowling Green, OH. Pours a lovely red with a thin head. The aroma is tart cherries and lambic funk and both dominate the flavor as well. Lively on the palate and sour, the tartness continues into the dry finish. I got a friend to try this one who doesn’t even like beer and she liked it, so that was nice.

definetly has that barnyard lambic smell. pour a deep ruby red with a little pink head. Not much depth in the flavour though, i can detect some cherry in there, but the sourness is quite overpowering. The sourness is definetly taking away from the cherries.
