Bottle. Poured dark red with a pink head. Hoppy citric aroma with lots of sour cherries. Within the sourness in the flavour is cherry and hops. Very pleasant. Medium bodied. Great lambic.

Bottle. Head aach non-existant. Lovely dark ruby body. Mild and yet tart chrrries aroma. A bit flat metallic and in my opinion too sweet flavor with low carbonation and a long aftertaste.

2005 bottle, thanks to gueuze_is_god. Deep cloudy ruby red with purplish tint. Almost no carbonation. Very tart and musty cherry aroma with hints of lemon and wood. Sweetarts. Funky and pleasant. Nice mouthfeel-- full and tingly. Not the most complex I’ve had, but very tasty. One of the better kriek’s I’ve had, I suppose.

Bottle. Pours ruby red with a small pink head. Aroma of sour and tart cherries with a hint of wood. Very sharp flavor of sour and ripe cherries with oak and some funk. Lightly carbonated with a nice mouthfeel and has a very tart and dry finish. A very good lambic.

Deep red with no head. Sweet cherry aroma, some wood, some sourness. Definitely not sour nor bretta’s tipycal aromas featured, but still a remarkably good kriek.

375mL Lot 01 Bottled Feb. 2005. Pours an orange-red with minimal head. Aroma is tart cherries and wood. Flavor is very sour cherries and wood at first. Finishes very dry and tart. Not very complex, you are overwhelmed by sour cherries with woody undertones. A slight sweetness in there towards the finish but not much else.
