7.5/10
Bottle @ Qvarteret (test tasting). Unclear golden body under a big, foamy white head. Aroma is fruity with Belgium yeast, spices, wood, pale malt, vinegar and slightly funky. Taste is sweet and acidic with pale malt, white sugar, acidic white berries, green apple, wood and milt dunk. Lots of different flavours, but nice balanced together. Balanced body as well and pleasant, rather tart finish.

Bottle @ Qvarteret (test tasting). Slightly unclear amber body under a creamy tan head. Aroma of cherry, acid, wood and moderate malt. Taste is sweet malt, fruit syrup, acidic cherry, wood and cellar notes. Balanced body with a rather tart and acidic finish. Decent but not amazing.

Bottle @ Qvarteret (test tasting). Unclear reddish brown body under a medium sized tan head. Aroma has much cherry with almond in the background, also hint of neutral wood and some acid. Taste is sweet malt and cherry with balancing acidity, almond, wood and fruit candy. Balanced body with sweet and sour aftertaste. Not bad, but a bit surprising and an unusually balance between very sweet and quite acidic – nothing in-between. Still it feels a bit artificial.

Bottle from Systembolaget. Smell of spilled red wine. Wine and slight coca cola flavours. Initial taste was just "wow" - forgot how much I love this style. It became more average over the glass.
