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 Utobeer. Reddy orange colour with no head. Sour cherry lambic farmyard aroma. Really good integrated fruit and tart lemon/cherry finish. Very nice, if a little (i.e. a lot) tart.

Reddish pink color with no head. Blast of sour cherry aroma with a little bit of horseblanket funkiness. Tangy cherry flavor is ultra sour with no fake sugary sweetness added. Most of the cherry is in the middle, sandwiched by sourness at the start and finish. Sour taste lingers for a couple minutes after every sip. Delicious.

Aroma: Vinegary, horseblankety, cherry-strawberry with malt coming in late along with barely perceptible noble hops. As the beer warms the cherry aroma becomes more prominent. Almost clear, raspberry juice apperance with only a bubbly head that formed from the pour and not from the almost non-existant carbonation. Flavour: like biting into a sour strawberry; vinegary cherry with little sweet tingles that sparkle on the tongue. Very dry and mouth puckeringly sour. This is a bit of a young bottle. Light body and not enough carbonation (barely any, in fact).

[bottle from beers of europe] Aroma is cherry skins, horse blanket, woody, acidic. tickley carbonation with a dry and very sour finish. Great Stuff.

Aroma has brett, yeast, and cherry as well as acid. A cloudy pink beer; nearly still. Very sour and acidic but the cherry is part of the sour flavor. Not harsh at all, but much too sour for someone who doesn’t enjoy lambic.

Bottle... This beer rocks!... Mostly clear, red-orange ale with a small, fizzy, pinkish head. Earthy, fruity aroma with notes of black cherries, lemon, damp wood and leather. The flavor is fairly sour... no sweetness; no bitterness. Fruity and woodsy. Medium-bodied with a creamy mouthfeel and lively carbonation. Finishes sour and fruity. Finally dries out. World class!

Hazy blush with a thin white head. Fresh, tart cherry aroma. Sweet and sour cherry flavor with a long saccharine acid finish. Nice flavors but a bit sweet.

Bottled:
Very sourly with much acid and cider notes. Only a touch of cherry flavor. Sourly, astringent finish. Acid notes are maybe too extreme.
