Bottled March 22. 2006 and I had mine on New Years eve 2008. The aroma is sour with notes of wood, cherries, earth and horse blanket. The flavour is sour with notes of light vinegar, sour cherries, horse blanket, wood, earth and it is very sour and refreshing, and I prefer to have just a little....

25.4 oz bottle, Feb 2005. Clear magenta with traces of white foam. Nose is cherry, leather and citrus zest. Dry, medium light with subdued carb and a little residual stickiness. Taste is sour cherry, a touch of toffee, minerals and lemon juice. Perfect sweet sour balance with restrained funk.

Crushed with Jakebra. Lovin it. Strange musty smell as usual, some burnt rubber or something. Flavor, another mouth-waterer. Sour and nice. Strangely fruity. Dig it. Strange breed, but I dig it.

Bottle. Pours a clear ruby red with no head. Musty, funky cherries dominate the aroma. Very tart and dry. Nice sour, acidic finish. Good.

Bottling Date: 02 December 2005 Appearance: Pours a purple-red body with a thinnish, bubbly, pinkish head. Smell: A musty, funk-scented blend of cherry and strawberry preserves that’s plenty moldy and plenty acidic with a note of cheese that is well past its prime. Taste: Tart, sweetish cherries with a spoonful of strawberry jelly are greeted by a pinch of salt and a jolt of acidity. Punchy sourness. Hints of soggy leather and topsoil alongside some tough phenolics. Finishes rather dry with a hint of decaying wood. Mouthfeel: Light-bodied. An initial flourish of carbonation, then it mellow out into a moderate carbonation level. Drinkability: A fine fruit lambic, but, in all honesty, it makes me more than wistful for another dose of that Hommage.

Deep ruby red pour with a thin white head. Funky vinegar aroma with lots of acidity. Very sour flavor, perfect for my tastes. Some cherry. Excellent kriek.

Raspberry with a cotton-candy colored head. Very sour cherry skin, funk, and lemon zest aroma. Flavor is amazing...pungent, mouth watering, lip puckering goodness. Great mouthfeel...refreshing!!!
