Comes with a synthetic cork. Pours a glowing, dark ember color with a bigger, bubbly head, which receeds quickly.
Smells of lusciously ripe sour cherries, unleashing an amazingly sweetness which comes close to sticking your nose into a freshly opened glass of jam.
Drinks light and refreshing with a soft, slightly stony carbonation, highlighting the complex cherries in this very well, while providing a nice tartness at the same time.
Tastes of ripe, fleshy sour cherries with a smoked pith quality atop. The tartness in this comes quite naturally, reminding me of biting into the actual fruit, accompanied by a light marzipan and flowery note. Has a well developed, yet smooth drinking carbonation with a nice stony peak to it, adding a well working, somehow colder counterpart to the cherries. Finishes with a powerful, ripe not jammy cherry complexity, with a black forest cake sweetness, a lingering, calming pith earthiness and a vinuous, tart peak.
This is pretty amazing and certainly a huge surprise to me regarding all the mediocre beers I‘ve had from this brewery as of lately. This is a true cherry bomb. It‘s complex, goes down dangerously easy and proofs to be a remainder, why cherries taste great, as the beer captures their complexity very accurately.

A 375ml bottle, with a best before date of 15th February 2023. Poured into a 3 Fonteinen stemmed glass.
Appearance: A dark ruby reddish purple colour with a big four finger light purple head that had decent retention and left lots of nice lacing.
Aroma: Tart, sour and sweet cherry, raspberry and a touch of raisin. Lightly jammy.
Taste: Sour, tart, cherry, almond, marzipan, yoghurt with a touch of oak.
Mouthfeel: Light bodied with moderate to high carbonation.
Overall: Looks great, with good cherry plus marzipan aroma and flavours. There appears to be less funk coming from the Spontan base in this Spontanberliner versus the other Spontan ales, which is not a problem, but interesting to note. I also seem to like it whenever they add Frederiksdal cherries to their beers.
