Sampled in a chalice from a 750ml bottle purchased at Triangle Wine. 2011 Project.

Reddish brown with a haze and minimal head. Fantastic aroma with sweet and sour cherries. Flavors follow closely with loads of sour cherries and a hint of sweetness while still remaining on the drier side. A nice sour bite without it being completely dominant. The fruit flavors also play a key role with their depth and complexity. The consistency and carbonation are moderate with a smooth and silky finish.

This is an outstanding beer with a great combination of sour bite and fruit flavors. I liked it more and more with each sip. But with a significantly higher price than Rodenbach Grand Cru, I wouldn't make it a regular thing.

look: 4.5 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.5

A: pours a sinfully dark red that is almost brown with a finger of light tan head that slowly fades into a duvel tulip
S: smells of nice lactic sourness and sour cherries on the nose. slight sweet cherry aroma as well
T: tastes of sour cherry, biting acidity, vanilla and oak good lactic sourness with more cherry and a slight hint of funk. swallow is more sour cherry a bit more oak and a nice lactic sourness on the finish
M: medium in the mouth with soft but assertive carbonation. slightly drying on the finish but not overly so
O: a very good kriek/flanders red. qualities remind me of rodenbach with the oakyness and the sourness is excellent. It's quite good any way you slice it and it drinks pretty easy.
