Clear ruby red with fast disappearing tan head. Raisin and fruit cake nose. Rum and raisin, cherry, some fresh cut wood. Tart cherry notes on first sip, with strong wood notes. Boozy, some malts peeping through. Well balanced. A keeper

0.33 l bottle from 'AH XL' (Roermond), best before October 2028. Almost clear, deep ruby with a thin, slowly diminishing, off-white head. Slightly sweetish, sourish, quite fruity and a little funky aroma of lemon, rhubarb, balsamic vinegar and sour cherry. Slightly sweet, quite sour, quite fruity and a bit vinous taste of lemon, rhubarb, balsamic vinegar, sour cherry, oak, some caramel and hints of sherry, followed by a medium long, fairly tart, moderately dry finish. Medium to full body, quite astringent and gently effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Much sharper than I remembered, really refreshing but also complex beer.

08.10.2014: Clear ruby colour with a thick tan head. Aroma of red wine vinegar, sour cherries, redcurrant and raspberries. At first, taste is slightly sweet but that is quickly replaced by heavy sourness. Thin body, soft carbonation and a dry, tart finish. The fruity aroma and the acidity make it just adorable. Michael Jackson called it "the most refreshing beer in the world". Well, he must have known!

En la copa luce un marrón cobrizo bajo una fina espuma beige. Aroma vinoso con notas de caramelo, frutos rojos y madera y vinagre balsámico, mejora y adquiere profundidad conforme atempera. En boca es agridulce, ácida, asidrada, notas balsámicas, frutos negros, roble. Pedazo de cervezon

Bottle at HopDog, best before Feb 27. Murky deep brown, reddish. Tart, wood, cherry funky. Full, front heavy, but then long. Chalky dry oak, but not in a bad way. Fruity, tangy. I like this.

On tap at BeerGeek Bar. Pours clear copper with an off-white head. Very dry nose, plenty of raisins and other dried fruits. Flavour has raisins, craisins, gentle but present acidity. Feels a bit timid, but still very enjoyable.
