Aftertaste: very sour, vinegar, sour cherries, cherry pits, very acidic, burns in the throat a little.
Pours unclear, redpurple. No real head. Scent is full, intense raspberry. Taste is full, bit tart (but oh so balanced) Almond-like fruitpits. Full raspberry tonka not to pronounced. Lovely, one of the better bokkes. with a pronounced, yet balanced acidity. Cherries are very mild.

taste has excellent balance, natural fruit in a bottle, masterclass
Hazy purple with a short lived pink head. Aroma shows up the kriek upfront, tart cherries, fresh raspberries and a light funk, tonka isn’t coming out noticeably in its normal way but I think that’s a good thing. It’s there lightly though, balancing and softening. Flavour is moderate sweet and sour. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.
Thanks kermis! Unclear dark red with subtle lacing and small ring head. Smell of cherries. Cherries up front in the aroma too, together with raspberries and soft woody notes, almonds, marzipan. Not catching a lot of that tonka. Strong fruity sweetness vs. a firm sourness. Over medium body and soft carbonation.
Bottle shared thanks to kermis. Nice deep ruby with small dark pink head. Lots if sour cherry up front, soft funk, wheat, lemon, raspberries. Underneath the fruit there's soft earthy tonka beans but not overppwering at all like I feared. They only come out after a little while. Solid sour, light sweet. Medium bodied. Quite unusual, especially on the nose but I love the cherries here. Good stuff.
