24/11/2011 33cl bottle @ Horeca Expo 2011(2011-675) Thanks to Miek for the beer!

Little cloudy red to rust brown beer, small light brown head, unstable, non adhesive. Aroma: bit soapy, sweet fruits, flowers. MF: good carbon, light to medium body. Taste: sweet fruity, strawberries, citric touch, sour cherries, bitter hops too. Aftertaste: tart finish with still some hops coming through.

Note: based on the Arend Winter beer, according the the brewers daughter.

Unclear red, fluffy light-red head. dry dusty aroma of beer and cherries. flavor is slightly sour cherries, dry, very slighlty bitter as in grapefruit peel. quite refreshing and not at all a sweetbomb as many fruit beers can be. Insted of the sour base present in many beers, the base here is more bitter, like brett, or perhaps like if it was hopped bitter.

7th June 2008. Reddish brown beer. A little tart and a little cherry. Some sweetness comes through to balance the tartness. Very slightly watery but that doesn’t detract.

Bottled 750ml (BB 02/2009, vintage 2007). Courtsey of bierkoning, thanks Edo! Murky brown color, steady beige head. Aroma of strawberries, nuts, caramel and perfume. Funny kriek: more than cherries, strawberry jam is dominating the flavor. A bit fizzy, light balsamico in the finish. Aftertaste is more or less watery (with some cherry stones), few years in the bottle is probably thinned body a bit. Would like to sample fresh bottle (or tap) sometime.

ZBF2008: From bottle. Pours hazy brown and with a lacing light orange head. Distinct herbal aroma. Flavour is light sourish, only vague note of cherries. Light roasted malt flavour. Sweet canesugarish note too. Strange chemical note in addition. Not bad though, just not fantastic.

750ml bottle. Dark cherry red/amber colour with a big head. Very sweet cherry aroma with some supporting hops. The flavour was very sweet with a malty finish. The bottle had loads of black cherries in it. Strange.
