Thick, lightly pinkish head, stable over orange-pink, clouded beer. Very fruity (& vinous) nose; cherry, but also other fruit - rosehips definitely possible. Quite some acids emerging in the nose: fruit-, lactic, but I seem to get also faint acidic. But intensely fruity and iniviting. Sourish, near-tart fruity flavour. Again sour cherry, pomegranate juice, rosehips, wild plums, and also the elderberries emerging. Finish is dry, with a spicy touch. Feels more carbonated than it looks. Dry, extremely refreshing, light body. Excellent fruitbeer. Really nice and aaaarrrrghhh ’more-ish’. Many thanks to Chris Kabouter and Freddy!

Bottle. Pours Reddish amber with off white head. Nose and taste of florals, vinous notes, sweet fruits and red currants with some oak. Mild tartness. Medium body.

Looks like grapefruit juice. Minor head. Smells like oranges, flowers and juniper berries. Sort of a champagne mouthfeel, tastes like candi sugar and lots of floral notes, some honey and orange juice.
