Jan 2, 2010 On tap at the brewpub. Hazy red pour with a foamy pink head. Aroma is funk and cheese. Flavor is extremely tart, chocolate covered cherries, lemon peel, dirt, and quite a bit of residual sugars. Nice carbonation level with a pleasantly lively mouthfeel.

Dec 7, 2009 GABF 09. I think this was listed as Burton Kriek? Pours a deep pinkish violet with a violet tinged head. Aroma is cherry pit, sweet cherry juice, light acetic acid, some lacto, pedio- cherry pie, a bit oaky and hints of vanilla. Flavor is cherry, pitty, tannic, wine-like, nicely sour but not too puckering, slight aceto, slight slick sweetness, and some cherry pie bacterial character- slight leather and earth. pretty good overall.

Oct 6, 2009 First taste was a 2008 Bottle thanks to Toby next Just because it was go good at 2009 GABF. Pours out a dark pink topped with a light pink head. Aroma of sweet fresh cherries. A lot like the NG Belg Red. Taste was great more cherries, some tartness, and a little oak.

Sep 29, 2009 Large sample at GABF 2009. Met the NxNW crew there while "pre-gaming" at Great Divide. Good guys, big drinkers. This beer is cloudy reddish-brown in color with a medium light pink head. Aroma is intense tart cherries, spices, and a little sweet caramel. Flavor is incredible and somewhat reminiscent of New Glarus’ fruit beers: fairly sweet, although there is also the sour/vinegary aspect that you expect in a Flemish sour. Sweet and tart cherries really explode in your mouth, and there are also hints of oak and spices. Palate is nice and sharp with medium body and prickly carbonation. Great beer!

Sep 27, 2009 GABF 2009: Red-tinted amber with pink accented white suds. Nose is sour and medicinal with notes of cherry pit, bandage, and caulk. Unexpected sweet cherry flavors with not much in the way of what was exhibited in the nose. Just sweet cherry/sno-cone stuff...maybe, just maybe you can detect some of that bandage in the finish..but not enough.

Sep 27, 2009 Sampled at GABF 2009. Copper colored pour. Vinegary and sour aroma. Big tart cherry, oak, and a hint of nutmeg in the flavor. I loved it.

Sep 14, 2009 2008 Bottle - Thanks for breaking this out Toby! - This motherfucker painted Toby’s ceiling...after things settled down a bit, pours a beautiful reddish ornage with a large pink head...aroma is vinous, tart fruit, oak, slight vinegar...flavour is exactly the same, fruity, puckery, goes from sweet to sour in a moment, lingering sour...this was terrific...

Sep 13, 2009 Wow! This was one awesome beer. Thanks to Toby. September 2008 bottle. Pours a red hue with a huge powerful pink head. The aroma was great; smooth cherries, sourness and tart fruit. The flavor was superb; tart cherries dance around on your palate with a almost equally strong sweet fruity flavor and richness. Awesome. What a gem.
