A real rich flavour, and a palate to dream away on.

Complex and compelling. Just the right amount of tartness. I can see where this beer could go bad, but a nice sample is rewarding.

Very dark browwn in color with a spicy aroma. The taste was extremely tart that finished of very dry almost to a "pucker".

Complex nose of cherries, wood and vanilla. Tart, sweet, currants, lemon, woody. Pretty good, but I think I prefer Liefmans Raspberries one, both excellent products though which make me love the style more and more

Sweet malt and winy tastes, this is not a pucker bomb I was expecting from the name Flemish sour ale but decent ale none the less.

Poured hazy amber brown with a fluffy light brown head. Aromas of cherry and vanilla with some dark fruit. Yeasty goodness! Medium bodied, starts off sweet but finishes with a slight sour note. A bit sweeter than expected, but may do well with age.

Bottle. Sour cherry aroma. Dark reddish brown color with a tiny head. A sweet-sour cherry flavor primarily with spice tones (nutmeg, cinnamon). An old hay aftertaste which may not please everyone but I really enjoy. A good unique beer.
