Fast receding pinkish head over faintly veiled brownish-garnet beer. Almost vinous, fruitwine-like, red berries beer. Red wine wafts. Fresh ànd dried berry flavours. Grapeskins, winebarrels resulting in long-lasting wineflavours. Medium bodied, not very carbonated, tart verging on astringency. Excellent!

Gents Bier Festival 2023 - Clear red, no head. Aroma and flavour have lots of sweet red fruit. It's offset by a pleasant sourness. Juicy and tart.

19/VIII/23 - 75cl bottle @ Gents Bierfestival (Gent), BB: VIII/2028 (2023-466) Thanks to all for sharing today’s beers!
Clear deep red beer, no head. Aroma: funky, sourish, fruity, lemony impression, brett notes, nice! MF: lively carbon, medium body. Taste: sourish start, very fruity, berries, pretty bitter, cranberry juice, dry, some tannins. Aftertaste: pretty bitter, tannins, fruity, berries, not too bad.
