Deep intense red with a pink head. Very fresh cherry/vinous & light vinegar aroma and taste. Sprinkly - nice mouthfeel & body. Almost no sweetness - very fresh & sour. Nice!

Saurer, sehr frischer Geruch. Das Bier erscheint CO2-arm, der Antrunk ist recht mild, nur eine säuerliche Note vermag hier durchzudringen. Auch wenn sich dieses Aroma mit der Zeit verstärkt, bleibt es relativ mild. So zieht sich das Bier zum Nachgeschmack, der dann doch noch interessant wird, denn er präsentiert sich ungewöhnlich. Mein erster Eindruck erinnert mich an aromatischen Schinken, aber in einer anderen Weise, als es ein starkes Rauchbier tut. Aromatisch, würzig, sehr hopfig, interessant! Aber mit einem guten Nachgeschmack allein ist es nicht getan. Test vom 11.3.2007, Gebinde: Fass Noten: 8,9,9,11,-,9 - 9,21

Brewer warned it to be actually not ripened enough, but wanted to present it on the ZBFestival already Flocky disparate "chaam"-like head over fully hazy brownish beer. Sourish nose with a speculoos background, but blended perfectly wood notes, woodstainer, lemon. Speculoos flavour again, old wood, sweet worts, aged beer. Slightly tart, bit of lactic acid, hints at milkchocolate, liquorice. Full bodied, slick but not heavy. Aftertaste is wry wood. I’ve never had a beer that managed to taste young and aged at the same time - this is it! Very good try indeed. Check this one out.

Bottle: Poured a golden amber with white head. The aroma is floral and perfume. Taste was tart and hoppy. Not as bitter as I expected from the name and description.

Bottle: Hazy, amber coloured, small foamy layer; the aroma is a robust combination of a sweet fruitiness (oranges) and a distinctive peppery hoppiness; very strong sweet-bitter flavour, medium-bodied; orangey-fruity sweetish finish with an increasing aromatic hoppiness in the aftertaste; all in all a bit warming: A spicy, outstanding, well balanced Abdijbier with very pleasant hops..............

Bottle: Hazy, golden coloured, small, stable creamy off-white head; giant intensive floral to resinous hoppy nose, gulp...! Soft MF; the flavour is an explosion of dry bitterness; lingering floral-aromatic-bitter-dry finish, balanced by a little sweetness. Chapeau ! Beautiful ! Why can’t other belgian brewers use these beautiful hops..................

(Bottle) Clear red colour with frothy, but brief, pinkish head. Tart, acidic nose with cherries, red-currant and notes of almonds. Huge, tart, fruity taste with distinct cherry notes. Notes of almond in a very complex finish that combines the fresh tart fruitiness of the lambic and the more robust sourish notes of the flemish ale. Medium body, dry. Balanced, complex and lovely beer with a very fresh cherry character.
