Pours a dark red with a 2 finger reddish white head. Sour funk aroma with a cherry background. Tart and nice balance of fruit and funk. Awesome.

(Bottle, 0.75 l - bottling date 26/02/2007 - at Pikkulintu, Helsinki, on 2009-06-13) Dark red and hazy. Small pink head. Sourness, cherris and cherry stones in aroma. Medium bodied and dry palate wiht medium carbonation. Sourness, cherries, wood, fruitiness, cherry stones, light bitterness and fruitiness in taste. Cherries and sourness in aftertaste.

Bottle. Well.. kriek just doesn’t get much better than this. There’s a cartload of funk to pair with the amazing cherries in this beer. To me, this epitomizes kriek. Tastes just like the countryside. Brilliant.

Bottle at WSF. Deep magenta with pink head. Medicinal in both the nose and the body, but not in a sharp or offensive way. A tad metallic. Has a bit of vinegar spike but then mellows out. Has some candy notes and then tannic ones too. Marachino type cherry flavors. Ends up being very nice

2005 bottle April 2008, thanks to Dedollewaitor. Misplaced the notes for a good year... Deep red with a pink head. Sour fresh cherry aroma with almond, vanilla and wood. Flavour is sweetish cherry, with lots of wood, and a wonderful tart cherry aftertaste. Delicious!

pours a pinkish color with a thin white head. a surprising amount of spotty lacing is left behind. plastic band-aid nose with notes of earth, herbaceous funky stink and tart fruit. that plastic aroma carries over in to the flavor... it’s met with a savory almost woody note, tannic dryness from the cherries, a touch of tartness, wheat-like mustiness, spice and some stank. average body with prickly sharp carbonation... meh, i’ll have to revisit sometime. thanks jason for the taste! 6/4/6/3/14/3.3

bottle from rustychiles... looks like cloudy cherry juice mixed with beer... big difference...smells of wheat, rubber, minerals, cinnamon, tart cherry, red wine vinegar, bubble gum and rose petals. the palate is incredibly tart and dry with notes of tart cherry, cinnamon, flowers and a dry yummy herbaceous finish. the medium body is clean, dry and prickly. much better... 8/5/8/4/17/4.2

Tasted last saterday @ Eizeringen day of the kriek. Hazy red color, with a pinkisch head. Aroma sour, cherry. Medium body. Taste refrshing, good cherry, sourness, and dry ending. GOOD.

Hazy raspberry pour with small ivory bubbles that line the outside of the glass. Quite dry with an overwhelming band-aid flavor that has hint of tart cherry skin, and a bit of acidity. Medicinal nose. A little funky, a little sour, quite average. Disappointed.
