On Tap at the Bar Fringe, Manchester 09/03/2001 Strong in alcohol with cherry aroma and flavour.

[LCRBM] unexpectedly decent considering the absolutly shocking bottle. cherry aroma, slightly spicey. nice body, dry and tart finish.

[RBG Low Countries 2005] Siruppy, cherrie aroma with a hint of flemish sour ale. Hazy, brown coloured with no head. Sweet, fruity taste with -surprisingly- some tartness. Quite a full taste, just a little too sweet. Not too bad this stuff from the colourfull bottle.

Bottle. Tragic looking bottle, just take a look at the pciture to the left!!!! Sweet and lightly spicy, with some lightly tart/sour berry fruit in the finish, not bad, and better than i thought it would be.

Surprisingly this beer scores this good. Could it be because nobody expects a thing from this beer? Because people compare it to the B12 energy beer? Or just because it is a nice mix of a (sweet) kriek and a flemish sour ale? I just don’t know, but I won’t adjust my rating for that. :-)

No#46. Thankfully the beers is better than the bottle. A nice sour cherry aroma. Taste is same with a nice dry finish. Although not a very complex beer and a good opening to someone who wants to try more intresting beers, still worth a bash.

Bottle at RBG Low Countries 2005 Brown to black body. Lightly brown head. Cherry and cask wood aroma. Lightly sweet, lightly bitter initial flavour. Moderately sweet finish. Very odd, neither sweet, neither sour, a very weird unbalanced beer.

(Bottle 33 cl) God this has an awful, cheap appearance - but fortunately it surprises in a good way. Opaque, almost black with a red glow and a reddish head. Pronounced cherry flavour, sweet and spicy but not artificial or cloying. Wonder what the base beer is for this. 060799
