Bottle from the Offie, Leicester. Drunk at home. Pinkish red, translucent with a ring of off-white head. Sour cherry, some vinegar and oak on the nose. Sweetness in the taste, rounded out by tartness toward the finish. Medicinal cherry in the aftertaste. Medoum carbonation. It's an incredibly good beer: delicious, balanced and more cherries than you can shake a stick at.

From a 330ml bottle on 13/12/2019 (ABV 5.6%, "Aged in Oak Foeders"). Pours a cloudy reddy brown with a small head. Has a slightly tart nose, dominated by cherries. Flavour wise, it's very sweet upfront, again with cherries to the fore. This is met by a moderate, refreshing sourness, which balances things out beautifully. The mouthfeel is slick and the carbonation quite lively. Sours are generally not my thing, but these Flanders red ales are an exception. A delightful dessert beer.

Bottle from BIshops Arms Östersund. This one came across as awfully similar to the fruitage, so strong sweetness and very easy drinking. Prefer them a bit meatier myself.
