Bottle from Bierkompass. BBE 2027. Poured redbrown with no head. Very flat looking, no carbonation. Aroma is barnyard with some cherry notes. Flavor similar. Felt very flat and dull, not very fruity either.

Bottle; pour is a murky dark red, with a modest off white head that retains on the average side. The nose is funky, basement, sour cherries; this feels like a fantastic kriek; lemon peel, basement, sour cherries, and acidity, very nice brew

Smells like soggy diapers with tart cherries. Drinks fairly similar really tart. Really really tart. But good.

Tap at R’n’H. From what I remember red pour with a funky sour nose with some cherry hints. Taste is very much the same with some slight vinegar. Light palate with very little left to offer.

From a cask at Rattle’n’Hum. Mouth puckeringly sour and funky, and thin on the palate. Good, but was hoping for more.

Bottle at the White Horse, Parson Green, thanks to tdtm82. It pours ruby red, with no head or carbonation. The nose is farmyard, very tart red berry, juicy cherry and vinegar. The taste is super tart cherry, green vegetable, egg, lemon sherbet, red grape, redcurrant, malt vinegar and tangy. The finish is uber-tart, with a sourness that could almost melt your face off, in a good way....

Taster from a bottle at Hanssens. Red body, slightly unclear with a tiny pink coloured head. Tart and sweet to the nose. Taste of soft cherries and vanilla. Refreshing, however, not my kind of beer, yet (Toer de Geuze, Dworp 01.05.2011).

Draft. Pours deep red with a thin head. Funky tart aroma with cherry and oaky notes. The flavor is funky and acidic, with light tart cherry notes and oak. Good stuff.
