Tasted at Cantillon, Brussels. Sour barnyard aroma. Extremely sour, bu the cherry is clearly there and like Gambrinus, this is real fruit flavor and not a syrup. Red color. Excellent.

Sampled at the O-Town throwdown. Poured almost like pinkish red wine with thin white head. The aroma is big with tart berries, plan old tartness and some sourness. The flavor start off tart berry fruitiness followed by some tartness and then sour funkiness. Nice mixture.

I am told this is the 2007 version Superb cyclamen colour with a pink rim. Looks just - inviting... Apples, cyanide, overpowering fruit aroma, like a fresh fruit drink. Milder, softer fruit taste; full-fruity. Like a sourish old sherry, mixed with cider (there IS an apple-component in this one). Actually the real acidity is probably way higher than the sour impression - it’s just too fruity. Thank God. The kind of berry is unidentifyable. Well bodied, acidity nothwithstanding, not becoming thinnish. SUPERB! Great! Gawdelpus, can we get this at home, please!!! Thanks a LOT to MIkkel! 2011 batch Superb red purple head gone in secs. Deep purple/magenta beer. 5/5 Cuberdons , sweet berries and fruitconcentrate 7/10. Dry, tart, but nowhere exaggerated; in fact it is much less than the 2007 version. Lacks also some "lambicness", as the barnyard, horseblanket, ... features. 8/10 Tart, slight dry-our effect, cassis in the finish. 4/5 A lot less explosive, mind-blowing than the first version. 16/20

Pours a hazey straw color with light, suspended carbonation. It smells funky and tart. The assertive flavor has sour citrus fruit and some of that lambic funk. The finish is dry and kind of refreshing.
