adamjackson (794) – Canaan, New Hampshire, USA – NOV 3, 2012

Bottle acquired at De Hopduvel Gent. Best by 2022. I was told, “we get limited number of these. You should get one!” Enjoyed at 58 Degrees F in an HFS tulip.A – Pours a dark burnt cherry red. 2 finger ruby colored head that fades instantly.

S – Flanders red aroma, cherries, oak and vinegar.

T – VERY tart! Jammy almost cherry and raspberry jelly tartness. Lots of oak and hint of oranges. Lots of vinegar, hints of lemon and candy corn.

M – light body and carbonation. cider vinegar finish.

O – Perhaps not worth the effort to getting this stateside but overall, a solid beer.
