Draught as is befitting for a De Ryck beer - unfortunately served way too cold Beautiful garnet red, hazy; pinkish collapsing head. Herbal & fruity at the same time, cherrynose, but faint. Very dry taste, initially faint bitterish, fruity as in red fruit, not necessarily cherries. There’s some woody adstringency there, not unaggressive, but quite pleasing, tasting natural. Warming up, inevitably some sweetness comes up, and in the MF, the beer shows, and suffers somewhat from its relative weakness. Very good try. I still lament the unique 1989 De Ryck sherry-kriek experience, but this is undeniable a step towards promessing horizons.
