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.

Beer & Ball Champions League night. Olympiakos - Manchester United. Hazy red golden with a lasting white head. Aroma of cherry and wood, with some earthy funk and grass. Dry and tart flavour with funk, wood and cherry. Earthy character that is a bit different than other lambiks

Bottle courtesy of Kermis. Poured a clear medium amber with a broken bubbly white head. The aroma is big cinnamon and rich fruit. Smells rather like a wedding cake! The flavour is medium sour with a rich malt biscuit red berry fruit marzipan cinnamon palate. Light to medium bodied with soft carbonation. A truly unusual beer!

Bottle #279 of 1000 courtesy of me, thank me very much! Nearly clear golden color, thick white head. Aroma of dusty cherry skins, meadow flowers. Taste is funky, dusty, sour barnyards, but in a delicate floral way. Fantastic. Remins me vaguely of the floral perfumy characteristics of the J & J Roze, but with less complexity.

Tasting at Bruce’s Pad. Hazy gold beer with a small cream coloured head. Somewhat of a dusty tasting start. Light woody sourness contrasts with and stands apart from sweet floral cherry blossom. Then the dusty taste comes back. Light crisp finish. A very interesting beer but also a bit messy.

Bottle, big thanks to the Deeblo. It pours golden orange with a small white head. The nose is floral (particularly rose), wood, light sherbet, parma violets, cherry blossom and some musty funk in the background. The taste is crisp, floral, sherbet, damp wood, lemon, nice tartness, mild acidity, touch of chalk, lemon sherbet and green apple with a dry, tart finish. Medium body and fine, crisp carbonation. Not to everyone’s taste, but I really enjoyed this.

Bottle shared at my 5K tasting at Bruce’s pad, big thanks to our host for this one, 13/11/13. Batch 2 #314/1000. Hazed golden with a moderate white head. Nose is cherry blossom alright, sugars, grass, nutty, light berry notes, floral. Taste comprises cherry blossom, rose petal, floral, lightly tartened berry fruit tang. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, clean floral finale. Ok but overly floral for me, does what is says on the tin for sure!

Light sweet flavor with light, dry cherry, some sweat, pale wood. Light bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Sweet finish, lightly jammy cherries, dry wood, white grape. Tasty stuff.
