750 mL bottle, dated 26 February 2005. Pours a maroon/burgundy appearance; fluffy pink head with decent retention and lacing. Enticing aroma: plenty of funk, tart cherries and wood. The mouthfeel is a bit disappointing, well done but one-dimensional: sour cherry, hints of a toasty oakiness, medium acidity; plenty of tartness, but still very drinkable. Medium, tart cherry finish.

Oct 5, 2008 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.

Sep 27, 2008 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.

Sep 24, 2008 Pours quite reddish with a very small head. The aroma is quite tart and vinegary, share, some sour cherries, wild yeast and some wood. Thin body with little to no carbonation. The flavor starts with lots of tartness, sourness and cherries. The finish is more of the same. This is not very complex, especially from 3 Fonteinen, but what is there is what I like.

Sep 16, 2008 A dark red colored beer, with a reddies head, which disappears very quickly. The aroma of cherry fruits, with sweets and a little sour. The taste of sour cherries, wood. It has a long dry finish.
