Jun 23, 2008 (Bottle 37,5 cl) Courtesy of toncatcher. Hazy amber golden with a small off-white head. Sourish and Brettish nose. Medium body with plenty of fruit, a weak cherry touch and plenty of wood. Tart and lightly salty with a slightly astringent finish. Very interesting. 190608

Muddy reddish-brown. Deep cherry aroma with lots of tartness and wood. Really dry...a woody, austere character. Complex palate with some fruit, but almost astringently bitter late. The finish perhaps lacks of roundness but otherwise it’s a really nice sour ale.

Aroma: huge cherry aroma with a balance of both the sweet and sour cherries, oak is still present but well behind the cherry, yeast adds a bit of nice funk that blends well with the cherry,
Flavor: cherry flavor is a bit subdued allowing the malt character more room but still well in balance, the yeast adds a wonderful silky smoothness and brings out the cherry as well as balancing oak,
