<i>Bottled, thanks cquiroga! </i> Pale brownish amber, no head. Acidic lighly oaky strawberry aroma. Dryish with soft malt and gently sparkling mouthfeel. Complex flavour of wild strawberries, vinegar, oak and blueberries. Vinous with near Cantillon-like acidity. An ultra superb beer that left me speechless.

Bottled. Amber colour, mediumsized white head. Aroma is brutally sour, fruity, woody and leafy. Flavour is very much the same in an excellent balance. Very complex, sour and lovely.

Hugely focused sour cherry nose might not be the most complex, but rings an aura of pleasure that is just undeniable. Juicy and tart flavours emanate from the muddy copper hue that barely wears a ring of off-white head. Upon further evaluation, discoveries of grape, kiwi and litchi undertones can be found underlying a vanilla essence. If its soul comes from the cherries, its strength radiates from the cask wood ammunition that procures it the necessary red wine tones to showcase its tartness among all its earthiness. A globally sweet example that knows what the important things in life are.

<i>Bottled</i><br /> Hazy brown color, small off-white head. Sour, earthy aroma. Sourish .. cherry flavor is dominating. Smooth carbonation. Very stylish, balanced Rodenbach-like sour ale.
