Can from Beers@Moviefun. Clear golden, thin, off-white head. Aroma of unripe peach, plum, apricot, grape, wood, wet hay, vague cheese, fruit cake. Taste has sour unripe peach & grape, bit citric, sweetish apricot streak underneath a biscuity, almost brioche-like malt profile. Tart finish, soft grassy hops, some funky hay, wood, and lingering sweet-sour stonefruit. Medium body, oily texture, average carbonation. Okay, I can see that this is going somewhere, but it's just a tad too 'implicitly' sweet.

Lichtbruin bier met schuim. Smaak is fris fruitig zoetzuur met iets van bessen, sinaasappel en appel. Ondanks zuur bier niet mijn ding is vind ik deze best goed!

Rood bier met weinig schuim. Smaak is fruitig fris licht zuur met duidelijk kersen te proeven. Normaal ben ik niet zo van deze stijl maar deze kan me zeker bekoren omdat de kersensmaak niet kunstmatig overkomt en het ook niet overdreven zoet is.

Golden colour with thin head. Loads of oak and vanilla in the aroma. Strong and tangy sharp taste. Elements of funky white wine too. Nice balance of sweet and sour with enough woody dryness to keep it interesting.
