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.

Pale dull tan. No head. What a nose, fresh sweet cherries, cherry pits, and touch of cinnamon spiciness. Crazy, this beer is totally different from anything I’d had. Sweet, touch of spice, marzipan/almond extract, and light cherry.

375mL bottle, pours a hazy golden with a tiny head. Nose brings out loads of the cherry blossoms -- very floral upfront, with light funk. Flavour is extremely strong on the flowers, with very subtle kriek notes, and funk. The flowers are insanely potent, with a dry flowery finish. Certainly a unique lambic - never had anything like this. Very good stuff.

Bottle. Creamy White good mostly lasting head. Yellow colour. Moderate malty and buturic flowery aroma. Light sour totally weird flavor. Average finish. One of the weirdest beers I have ever tried. Some sour notes especially the finish.

cherry muted yellow to gold. Small head. Smells like cider and vanilla. Taste is super sweet. Like a holiday pie. Mild tart, lemon and vanilla. Pear and roaster candy apples.

Bottle at GBG Ö&W 2014. Hazy golden/orange with a small head. Cinnamon both in the aroma and taste, also yeast, fruit, wood and funk. Quite light mouthfeel. Not that tart. This was a really special lambic, I could’t avoid to start thinking about Christmas when drinking this.

Bottled at Pressklubben, Stockholm. Clear golden, mid sized head. Funky aroma of lemon, horseblanket and hay. Mildly acidic with an underlying malt sweetness. The cherry blossom is subtle. Some light stale hop bitterness.
