Bottle. Pours a hazy amber with an orange hue, some sediment and a tan head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a good amount of sour red fruit with a bit of acid and a strong barrel backbone. Flavor is a bit more acid forward with a good amount of barrel and a red fruit note.

Bottle. Salmon-crimson color, cloudy, with lace. Lovely lactic nose, cherries, vanilla, yogurt, wine. Creamy cherry flavor with vanilla and a nice level of tartness, though a bit simple. Dirty finish. Some wood. Nice, though the nose is best and could probably do with some age.

Waxed 375 from Capitol Beer in Sacramento, CA. Pours bright copper with a slight beige head. Aroma is oaky sour berry. Med body. Flavor is oaky cherry in a quite tart way. I think the barrel aging removes it from the range of Westvletteren sour red/browns, but there is certainly a kinship.So the flavor is sour/tart/oak/cherry. It is somewhat astringent. Mouth puckering. Quite a nice ale.

Draft - Balsamic and cherry with a bit barrel. Clear Amber with a decent off white head. Malty, light soured notes with a touch of cherry. Not bad, but doesn’t hold a candle to the staples.

On tap at Saraveza, pours a hazy orange amber with a small white head. Aroma and flavour of floral notes, lightly tart fruits, and farmhouse notes. Very well-balanced with some residual sweetness. Decent one, but not so enjoyable for me.
