some Vintage bottle@Kulminator: deep red colour, smells like some kind of cherry cocktail mixed with some musty & sour cherries, taste is like cherry juice & cherry cocktail, some cherry candy, mixed with something you would get if you tried making a traditional kriek outside of Pajottenland (musty, rotting & sour cherries), some vinegar, overall a strange clash between two sides of this beer with the latter clearly having developed largely with aging, medium body & carbonation, slightly oily

bottle at kulminator

head: none
colour: deep cherry red
smell: vintage , sweet , cherry candys , cocktail cherry , rodenbach yeast/malts ( sour )
taste: not what i expected , i expected a very sweet beer , but it tend out to be a more rodenbach like style , ( so a bit sour ) with a mild sweet cherry taste in it ... end is oily and skunky/sour malty ( like a oud bruin ) aftertaste is almunds/earthy ... actually not that bad ...

Bottle at Kulminator. Clear red brown coloured with a small off-white head. Sweet and fruity aroma of cherries and marzipan with notes of metal and solvents. Fruity flavour of cherries and marzipan with notes of metal and solvents. Fruity finish.

transparent red amber, thin white ring for a head. Nose of cherry sweeness, light balsamic, bit lactic with hints of syrup. Really light lactic cherry nose, bit of bitter acetone in finish. Too light flavor, too off nose.

Home (33 cl bottle): A deep red colour with some brown-shine. Aroma is slight sweet with strong fruitness of cherry (sour). Als some wood/vanilla in the aroma. The taste starts sweet with a sour fruittaste of cherry. Also vanilla. The taste finish is slight sweet, sour with still a lot of fruitness. There is also some bitterness in the end (wood-like)

THE this beer losses points for me. Ten smackers!!! Little high for a low alcohol beer. But the flavor was nice and the finish was sweet.

Draught at R&H. Cloudy red amber with no head. Aroma is sour feet, though light and not pungent, rye bready. Taste is light sour, hints of farmhouse, horsey, beautifully light on tongue. Very easy to drink but still substantial body.

Draft. Pours red-brown with a beige head. The aroma has a cherry like sweetness and some acidic/sour notes. The flavor has a nice balance or sweetness and tartness with cherry notes. Nice.
