Pours clear red with a big, frothy, off-white head. Reduces fast. Aroma has cherries, tobacco, Althea drops, herb. Very interesting and special. High prickly carbonation, okay dryish mouthfeel. Flavour is mildly sweet, cherries, dry herbal notes, marzipan sweetness. Fairly sticky sweet and a bit ordinary in flavour compared to the very interesting aroma.

Cloudy golden with a tiny white head. Sweet aroma with malty and fruity notes. Sweet flavour with malt, fruits and yeasty notes.

Bottle. Paper and aniseed aroma. Hazy red colour. No head. The flavour is of aniseed and sweet apple. Good citric apple notes as well. Sweet plum aftertaste.

Small, cream-coloured head over fully hazy ruby-brown beer. Concentrated fruitnose, obviously cherry, both with sweet-syrupy and sourish vectors, as well as slightly milky. Not bad as aromas. Clean-tasting foreground, spritzy and acidic, hiding an again concentrated-syrupy background. One difficult to fathom, this one, but generally pleasing. Smoky cherrystones glimpsing through. Apart from the cherries, a faint sweet apple flavour, and as to the spices, I suspect cinnamon. Medium bodied, very slick, near-syrupy feel that is difficult to describe. Nice kriek, but the syrupy touches disturb. The nettles have become inconspicous.
