Tap at KEG. Deep red pour, thin white head. Nose is big spicy and smoky chili, low honey sweetness, some tartish fruity touch. Taste is tart cherries upfront, then some honey appears but only with a nicely balanced sweetness, nothing overwhelming. Then comes the chili, with suberb balanced smoky and spicy notes that last suppper strong into the finish. A true sipper, but more like because of the spicyness and the many layers that should be investigated and thoroughly enjoyed, rather than due to its big body.

Aroma of apples, sweet cherry, honey. Flavour is quite sweet with some tart apples in the finish. I’m not much of a fan of this kind of drink, but I found this one okay.

From tap at BeerTemple, Amsterdam. Aroma is sweet and tart fruits, floral-ish notes, agave, soft lime. Flavour is very sweet with some tartness as well. Body is medium. Reminds me of cider. A bit too sugary for my taste but fairly drinkable.

Bottle from Beer Republic. Aroma is honey with black tea, tart lemon juice, tea leaves, earthy notes. Flavour is tart with a pleasant honey sweetness and some black tea bitterness. Medium body. What a tasty beverage, bittersweet and tart. I could drink more of this.
