Clear brownish ruby with a rocky, white head that dissipates rather quickly to leave some lace and iceburgs. Musty and sour aroma with lots of cherry. Flavour is a woody cherry with some medicinal taste. Good balance of sourness and bitter, but a little too sweet. Through all the cherry, I could actually detect some malt in this lambic. Medium body and not enough carbonation. A bit off balance.

It’s a nice reddish kriek with ditto head. It has cherries in aroma and flavour. It’s not sticky sweet, but on the sweet side, and it has just enough acidity to balance the overall impression.

Bottle: Pours a clear red with no head. Aroma, tart cherry, some sugars, sweet smelling. Flavor, cherries, some slight tartness, very low acidity, and definitely on the sweet side, more lindemans than cantillon. Oh well.

(Bottle BB 30/01/07; ABV 5.1%) Cherry, sweet and wooden (cherry stones?) aroma. Ruby red colour and small, reddish, more or less fully diminishing head with a hint of lacing. Cherry, wooden, sweet (initial) and sour (finish) flavour. Fizzy carbonated, slightly dry and medium-bodied palate. 16/09/06

Bottle. Clear red, pink head. Sour-sweet aroma, cherry dominated. Quite tart palate; Flavour, again, is cherry-dominated. Not very complex, lacking in lambic character.

Bottle. Clear red with a fine creamy pink head. Aroma has loads of cherries in a bubblegum kind of way. Oily mouthfeel. Slightly sour with a woodyness adding to the cherries. Ends a touch too quickly.

A nice lambic. The acidity hit me in the head the same way Rodenbach Grand Cru does. A lot of fun sometimes, but not something I could stock my fridge with.

On tap at the Esplanade Bier Markt. Red pour with an off-white head. Nose was acidic and blooming with cherries. Taste took on an odd red-wine quality with a mix of dry vermouth, and plenty of cherries to boot. This was not as well made as I was expecting. Nonetheless, I do love Krieks.
