A very intense Belgian style sour cherry beer. Packed with whole tart cherries for a HUGE mouth-filling flavor. This is NOT a typical ’flavored’ beer, rather, the fruit is used in such a way to create a traditional albeit unique beverage.

Natürlicher Kirschantrunk, der von einer kräftigen Karbonisation begleitet wird. Eine herbe Nuance ist vorhanden, steht aber weit im Hintergrund. Die vorhandene Süße unterstützt das Kirscharoma, das deutlich im Vordergrund steht. Zum Ende gleicht das Bier schon fast Kirschsaft, es sind wenige andere Aromen vorhanden. Süßlich-vollmundiger Kirschnachgeschmack. Nett! 9/11/10/11//11

growler shared at CCB. pours reddish/amber, white head. aroma is loaded with cherry goodness, reminded me of these baker’s cherries. flavors, again this is just pure cherry flavors, light tingly palate with some cherry tartness, sticky syrupy mouthfeel, light malts with a mild lingering bitter finish. This is very close to matching NG Belgian Red, although Selin’s version is higher in abv. Just delicious.

on draft at the brewpub, pours dark red, thin light pink head. Aroma is tart cherries, thin notes of vinegar and medicinal syrup. Flavor is very good, tart, sweet, juicy cherries. All over the board, this beer captures every essence of the cherry and it a great sipper.

Handbottle thanks to Vikinghammer. Pours with a large khaki-off-white head over a murky brown body. Head stays for a while. Aroma is lightly tart, some wood and a lot of fresh and vibrant cherries. Floral, nearly raspberry (or other berry varietal) honey. Light notes of red wine. Taste is tart, with a lot of cherries and floral honey notes (I could see pie filling, but I think good quality honey is a closer match). Lots of wine notes, slightly earthy finish with possibly some acetobacter. Lively bubbles with a very thin body, especially for 8%. Very refreshing and nice.
