About 40 years old, as old as I am! Bought in 1987 in Amsterdam when a beer shop in Amsterdam had bought some old stock from the brewery. Light pink colored, still a bit of carbon left. Very vinous, cherry aroma. Thin, off course, after all those years. Cherry and tartness in the taste. Metal. Aftertaste of rubber tires. Still very drinkable. I have added some overall points because the beer has aged so well. Re-rate: Fairly recent beer. Pinkish orange color, no head. Cherry and oak aroma. Odd mix of cherry, caramel and hops. Just a hint of tartness. Very likeable and fairly complex beer. The cherries aren't overwhleming, but are just a part of the flavor of this great beer. Recommended. Re-rate Bought at the Crombé brewery, at september 1th, 2004. Intriguing cherry and cherry pits aroma. Pinkish red color. Sweetish, somewhat tart cherry flavor. Hops are also present. Thin, but tasty. I love this beer, but is it Crombé old, Crombé new or Strubbe????

Strong hoparoma. Bit of citrus. Hoppy taste, just a bit tart. Caramel and citrus. Must be a few years old, but carries the years with dignity. Excellent beer!

Brewed by Crombé: aroma has grapefruit and hops. Very hoppy taste. A bit tart. Loads of citrus. Long bitter finish. See above rating. Brewed by Strubbe (?), bought at Crombé Brewery, best until june '06. If Strubbe brewed this beer, they did a good job. Hoppy aroma, very hoppy flavor with a hint of lemon. Hoppy aftertaste, prickly mouthfeel. Lacks complexity compared to a cellared Crombé beer, but it surely has quality. 7 3 8 5 15 = 3.8
