330ml bottle on 14th Feb 2017 in ’Knowles of Norwood’. Thought this would be a sour puss before I purchased it, being allowed to read the label before buying. Turned out to be anything but and the ’sour cherries’ must have been devoured by the Belgian yeasts or something. I found it malty and fairly sweet, liked it.

Bottle at home in London - sourced from Eebria Bermondsey. Pours clear copper-red with a small, foamy white topping. The aroma holds some dried berries, Belgian yeast, caramelised sugars. Light to medium sweet flavour with pleasant candied cherries, some bready malts, candi sugars, leathery berries, a little seedy bitterness. Medium bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Lightly drying on the finish, with more seedy bitterness, ripe berries, bread, faint caramel, understated cherry bites. Not bad overall. Interesting take.
