Refrigerated 75 cl brown bottle corked and caged. Peach colored with medium white head, well carbonated, and good small-bubble lacing. Taste is light cherry and some oak. Easy to drink, but a little light on the cherry for me.

Slightly hazy golden coloured body with a thinnish off-white head, some lighter gold and bronze tint. Light-bodied; Spicey and relatively pungent kick from the hops with a bit of a wheat and grassy flavour and some subdued hops showing citrus, grass and perfume. Aftertaste shows a bit more grassy and herbal depth with a lingering light airy and easy drinking finish. Overall, a nice beer with no harsh flavours and nothing terribly pungent, just relatively easy-drinking and pleasant. I sampled this sixteen ounce can purchased from Campus Liqours (Switzer’s Wine & Spirits) in Norman, Oklahoma on 13-September-2014 for US$1,99 sampled a few minutes later at a tailgate in Norman, Oklahoma - Thanks Phil (haddon90)!

Enjoyed at gabf 2014. It pours with an orange copper body that has a bit of a pink hue and supports a nice off white head. The aroma offers up tartness, a little bit of berry tartness, a slice of oak and then even more oak with a bigger pull. The taste starts tart but not over the top tart and the initial tartness gets filled in by berry notes lined with berry tartness. It later pulls into a bit of funk and kind of soft oak notes. Pretty solid Kriek.

An interesting 75cl swing top that pours with a clear deep gold body that supports a weak set of off white bubbles. The aroma offers up tartness, some earthy funk and then hay, earthy manure mixed with apple and pear fruitiness. Interesting. The taste delivers similar notes such as a quick hit of tartness and then it gets into funky earthiness and a mild earthy feces note. To midway mild apple and pear like fruitiness show up to ground the experience in just the right amount of light fruity sweetness. This is solid stuff with depth and breadth and interesting and not just tart and acidic.

750 swing top from Wine and Cheese in Clayton, MO. Pours translucent orangey gold with a few white bubbles. Moderately sour aroma. Maybe with alcohol. Med body or nearly. Flavor is really pretty sour. Fruit. Hardly a hint of bourbon for me, but lots of wood. The sour is actually burning a bit (like dilute acetic acid). Actually more sour than a lot of sour/wild ales. Very sour light stone fruit sort of thing. Maybe I got a "good" bottle.

Pour is a cloudy amber with a small white head. Aroma is a decent bready malt. Flavor is more of that marzen malt with a little lager blandness. Finish is a bit watery but the malt kinda sticks with you after the swallow. An ok attempt at a Oktoberfest.

Bottle thanks to Bruce. Pours a cloudy orange red with small frothy white head that lasts. The aroma is strong cherry skin, oak, funk. Medium mouthfeel with tart cherry, oak, light dryness, easy to drink, very good.

Can shared by Pinkzambia nearly black light tan head. Plenty of coffee in the aroma and a nice spicy sweet roastiness. Some simar character of their "cigarette porter" nice sharp roast flavors with some sweetness as well. Fairly dry finish
