The taste is sweet and tart with flavors of black cherry, maraschino liqueur, and green apple on a soft medium body. The finish is long and moderately acidic, featuring notes of sour cherry, raspberry, cranberry, and lime with just a hint of oak. Overall, this is quite good! It&#8217;s more intense than the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/beers\/brouwerij-rodenbach-grand-cru-2014\/\">Grand Cru<\/a>, both in sweetness and acidity, but the balance remains impeccable and the cherries add levels of complexity throughout. Definitely try this one if you see it!
