Quite dark brown with thin head. Lots of sour fruity notes and a touch of cherry vinegar. Sweeter elements of malt and jammy ted fruits too. Sharper than a Duchesse but less extreme than a Verzet.

Medium pink head over deep-red burgundy coloured beer. Cherrystones, organic cyanides, cherryjuice, intense. Hint at fruitacids and -aromas. Sweet, but with bursts of red fruit and fruitacids behind. Meaty, even some hints at roast; cherry pie. Thick, almost chewy despite some light acidthinning. Oily feel, covering the mucoses long after. Sweet but excellent (even if my co-taster strongly disagrees) all the same! Txs to Stef!

No head whatsoever; clear metallic terra-cotta coloured beer. Light sour, very fruity nose; red fruit/berries. Some solvent and alcohol. Sweet-sour and really fruity, without becoming fruitjuice. Alcoholic beer underneath very present, not at all in relation to its ABV. More than a bit woody. Quite (fruit)slick, almost no CO², long lasting flavours. Pleasing fruitbeer! Txs to Stef!

22/XI/22 - 33cl can @ HoReCa expo (Gent), BB: n/a (2022-1659) Thanks to Erwin, Peter and others for sharing today’s beers.

Clear copper coloured beer, creamy dense off-white head, little stable, non adhesive. Aroma: offensive and dirty smell at first, sulphur notes, yeasty, overripe fruits, very herbal, spicy, some raspberry jam, not very convincing. MF: ok carbon, medium to light body. Taste: weird, very bitter, unpleasant, dirty, sulphur, bleh, don’t like it. Aftertaste: funky, dirty, sourish, yuck, not a fan of this one at all.
