A perfect beer to enjoy before a meal. Sakura means cherry leaves in japanese. The leaves are steeped in salt for several months producing a highly perfumed aroma. In Japan, Sakura are also enjoyed as special sweets during spring time.

2020 version, 5.5%. Deep golden colour with no head or carbonation. Aroma has funk, old fruit, almonds, cassia. Starts out fairly sweet. Almond becomes cinnamon becomes tonka in a sweet, earthy, spiced type of way. Later there's a great lemony tart acidity and pleasant fruity funk. Interesting but with the sweet spice elements it isn't my taste.

Backlog March 2018. Clear golden body under a moderate sized white had. A bit odd in aroma, fruity, wood and hint of cherry and cinnamon. Taste is sweet and sour with malt, fruit, lemon, vinegar, wood and funky. Fine body and long lasting aftertaste. A bit different kind of lambic, pretty complex and nice.

Flaska från SB, vintage 2015. Tack Björn! Orange-rosa med liten vit krona. Doftar och smakar blommigt med toner av mandel och kamomill. I syrlighet någonstans mellan citronsyra och vinäger. Mjuk och fin. Gott!

(Bottle) Golden colour with frothy, white head. Fruity, sourish nose with lemon, grapefruit, unripe fruit, cellar, barnyard, oak wood and a touch of flowers (cherry blossom I assume). Fruity, tart taste with lemon, grapefruit, barnyard, gooseberries, hints of cinnamon, a touch of cherries and a tart finish with a slight sweetness shining through. Medium body, mainly dry. Fresh and tasty, well made lambic with a slight touch cherries shining through. Very nice.
