Pours a brown-red with decent light red head. Smells of citrus and vinegar. Flavour is heavy on the cherries, it has an odd sweet yet vinegary character to it. Not one of my favourites - slightly too sour for my liking.

Tap at Ginger Man: Pours a nice ruby color with a creamy off white, lacing head. The aroma is fruity and fairly sweet with notes of candied/maraschino cherries, marzipan and almond paste. Sweet, yet welcoming. Nice chewy feel with mild carbonation. The flavor is dominated by sweet/tart cherry flavors. The presence is very natural, however, making it pleasant. Has some almond paste sweetness and tarter cherry characteristics of cherry skins/tannins. Doesn’t offer much funk/tartness or wild fermentation suggestions, but has a very natural fruit presence and is pretty tasty overall. An easy drinker.

Nice, deep ruby profile. Lots of sweet cherries and wood. Ligh vanilla notes. Supercarbonated with a very thick, tangy finish.

Tried thanks to poperinge! Pours a dark red hue with a fluff pink head. iron on the nose with a hint of cherry, full cherry stone flavour with a background tartness that is extremely dry, a pleasure to dink!
