Pours hazy orange/red with a thin white head. Smells of barnyard, hay, grass, cherries, horses. Taste is of cherries and tarte with a nice sweet tangy aftertaste.

(Bottle) Pours a bright ruby body with a small pink head. Aroma of sour cherries and earthiness. Flavor of tart cherries, dustiness, and oak with a dry finish.

I probably would’ve rated this higher had there not been the prevalent odor of human swear in the aroma. Beautiful deep lavender body with a tall pink head that, alas, fades away too quickly. The aroma is sour cherries, wet hay, leather, wood.... and human sweat. Fortunately, that’s not in the flavor, Sour cherries, an acidic tartness, wood, and a mild bitterness. The finish is sour and refreshing. Good stuff, except for the human sweat.

wow, this is a good benchmark for a well done kreik - all the defining elements done well. the color is a cloudy dark fushia, the head is a dense foamy light & bright pink. the aroma is tart sour cherries, barnyard and sweat. the flavor is tart and a little sour, good sour cherry flavor throughout. just enough yeastiness to know it’s wild!

Lightly hazy, bright red with a thin white head. Very sour front, mild chery aroma--the cherry is really controlled here with substantial funk. Very light notes of musty, hay, and overall lots of tingling sour fun! It still isn’t the best of the best of the best in lambics but it’s everything you need it to be.
