Bottle. I’m guessing from the online shop. Clear deep ruby red. Slim dense lasting pale pink head. Looks well. Nose has sweet and sour cherry juice. Some very dark chocolate. Toasted oak. Some mineral. Some salinity. Taste is semi sweet with plenty of cherry juice tartness . Pretty dry. Minimal acidity. Drinks easy. Juicy cherry light funk on the finish. Good gear.

Sampled from bottle at "Hooghe Noorden Tasting 2025". Clear quite pretty bright purple color, small white to off-white head. Aroma and flavor are fruity, red fruit, very solid sourish fruity, strawberries and blackberries. Very pleasant. Lovely.

0,75l bottle at home. Bottled 16.12.2024. cork coming out of its own, but no gushing or anything. amber clear color, rather big white head. smells funk, hay, flowery notes, some citrus, bit peppery, very nice smell. full body, soft carbonation. tastes stone fruits, citric, herbal, peppery, rosemary, lightly lactic, flowery, oranges, spices. finishes dry, with some bitterness and light to medium sour with notes of rosemary, citrus and some more herbs. very nice one, a tad overcarbonation (I guess this should mellow out after a while), lacks a tad the malt backbone to backup the citric / bitter herbal notes. Overall very good one though. Has a lot of aging potential.

75cl bottle @ Belgian Beer Geeks Autumn Gathering 2025. Soothing, blossoming cherry presence with light blackberry shades and hints of strawberry, modest sour presence. Pretty decent.
