Feb 1, 2005 This was an abolute smashing hit from a recent tasting. Gorgeous ruby color with a delictable rose colored head. Aroma of sourness, wet wood, and light cherries. Serious sour flavor, but not overwhelming a one of the most subtle, wonderful cherry flavors ever. Not overly dry and my stomach didn’t hurt after drinking this. A masterpiece.

does not count  Jan 30, 2005 This ain’t Sam Adams cherry wheat - there are lots of real cherries in this one, and you can taste them! The taste is tart like cherries should be, and the appearance is gorgeous. All in all one of the best beers I know of, and it’s a real tragedy that the brewery has gone out of business. Laseter’s Tavern in Atlanta has had this in the past, but if you take the last one be prepared for a fight ;)

Jan 26, 2005 Bright pale cherry red hue. Pours with almost no head, tart, vinous, acidic cherry aromas, follow through a sharpness, tartness palate with a dry bone flavors a very long winey finish. A very good traditional pure kriek lambic the way i like it.

Jan 20, 2005 #800 for me. Bottled in 2003. I can’t believe the best before date is 2023... there’s no way I could wait that long. Gorgeous deep red beer with a thick sticky pink lace sitting on top. Aroma of fresh cherries, a touch of funkiness, and a light tartness. As the beer warms the fruit becomes more intense with obvious black cherry notes. Flavour however was a bit less than expected. Faint cherry fruit, light sourness, and a subtle dustiness. The palate was fairly watery and the flavours that the aroma promised just weren’t delivered. Improved as it warmed, but still not spectacular. Thanks cheesecloth.

Jan 17, 2005 I know that there are folks in Belgium trying to resuruct this brewery. I found a bottle at Toronado in San Francisco last week. It is an amazing beer; a beautiful red color with a pink head and so sour that it makes you pucker.
