Bottle. Sour cherry aroma. Dark reddish brown color with a tiny head. A sweet-sour cherry flavor primarily with spice tones (nutmeg, cinnamon). An old hay aftertaste which may not please everyone but I really enjoy. A good unique beer.

Bottled 25cl (BBE 03/2007)
Different (brown-blue) label.
Ruby red, small mostly vanishing tanned head. Quite typical FSA nose: sour (vinegar, balsamico) and sugary. Carbonated, a bit sweet, finishing sourish, oily aftertaste. Quite good example of this style, so if you want your first Flemish Sour Ale, this is easy one to start.

(Bottle 25 cl) Pale golden and slightly hazy, white - almost clinically white - head. Pronounced scent of apples. Very pronounced apple flavour which combined with the pronounced sweetness make this resemble apple juice. Slight metallic tang. OK as a quencher. Contains both artificial sweeteners and artificial flavours. 250705

Draught at the Kulminator, Antwerp, Belgium Lightly pink, fizzy head with an excellent lace. Fully diminishing head. Murky red body. Even some remainders of the cherries were floating around in our glasses. Nose of sweet, real (i.e. not cherry-syrup) cherries. Moderately acidic, lightly bitter initial flavour. Moderately acidic, long-lasting finish. Medium bodied. Fizzy carbonation. Liefmans, bottle this one in stead of the sweetened version.
