It pours light-brown-orange-amber-color with a beautiful thick light-brown head, which changed into a very nice and sticky lacing.

A bit sour, red wine, tart, red fruits (cherries) and nicely woody. Red, sour fruits combined with tasty roasted malts. Also here the wood is present, together with some hints of clove. This beer is really pleasantly sour, extremely well balanced with the sweetness of the roasted malts. The aftertaste is medium-bitter and not dry at all. Medium-thick bodied and medium carbonation. The oxidation in the glass is very high though, because the carbonation is almost gone after several minutes.
