Pours a smei-hazy and light copper color with a thick creamy white head which dissipates quickly. The nose is muted sweet malt and a slight horse blanket aroma, but fitting and pleasant. The flavor begins subtle and sweet but suddenly an explosion of tart cherry flavor takes over. The body is light and well carbonated so the drink and finish are quick. The cherry flavor does not continue through the finish but the tartness seems to get stronger. As the drink ends, a tangy sweetness lingers. Had to pour it out...

22oz. bomber: This one was hiding at the back of the fridge, where it has been since I got it. It pours a fairly clear, golden color. There was very little head on it, and left no lacing. Interesting aroma. Hint of sour cherries, some oak, faint spices. Earthy, a bit funky, but doesn’t smell infected. Taste is interesting. Some tart cherry, bready, some candi sugar. It’s not very sweet, but there seems to be an underlying subtle sickly sweetness to it. It should probably stay retired.

Review from 3/2010 notes. Poured into a Gulden Draak tulip. Pours a slightly cloudy yellow amber, one finger white head and lacing. Aroma of cherry, citrus and esters. Mild saison start, tart sour middle and sour and bitter finish. A bit too sour on the finish for me, although the body and start are OK.
