Bottle Oude Arsanall Antwerp. Cloudy reddish colour with medium off pink head. Aroma - earthy,sour cherries, musty cobwebs. Sour cherry flavour with red wine vinegar long finish with tart cherry aftertaste. Sharp and pungent with tart lemony goodness. A good kriek but not one of my favourites

Ruby red colour, not much head. Cherries and wood in aroma. Dry and sour cherries in the flavour along with a big earthyness and some vinegar also mixed in. Pleasant, but lacks something.

375 mL bottle. Pours dark, deep red with big pink head. The aroma is sour and fruity, lots of cherries, a little bit of souring wood. The flavor is tart and musty. The cherries are there, but not to the same extent as the nose. Some funk floats around, with something that for some reason reminds me of driftwood. It finishes dry, but has a nice mild sour cherry aftertaste. It has quite a bit of fruity maltiness, but the sweetness is cut by the acidity. Pretty good.

Dark ruby red. Quite sweet and acidic. Dry finish. A solid but not an exceptional kriek.

Bottle... This beer rocks!... Murky, brownish-red ale with a mid-sized, frothy, pink-tinted head. Excellent retention. Acidic, funky nose with bushels of sweet & sour cherries, horse blanket and mild barnyard. Sour flavor with distinguished cherries and lots of fruity, pungent goodness. Medium-bodied with an astingent mouthfeel and lively carbonation. Mid-length, sour, lightly bitter finish. Kudos to boboski for providing this one!

37.5ml (2004) Bottle @ Quinns. Deep ruby red with a pinkish head. Lovely sour cherry nose with pastry hints - simply, it smells like cherry pie. Earthy cherry taste with hints of yeast. Quite toned down and not tart at all until the last pour - somehow the sediment gives it a sour note. Salty finish. Medium body.

37.5 cl bottle. Orangey red colour, pinkish, stable head. Highly complex lambiek nose with cheese notes as well as cherries. Sour cherries, some yoghurt, lemony lambiek as well as cheese before a moderately dry finish. Fizzy. A very complex and enjoyable kriek- miles ahead of the other, commercialised Boon Kriek.
