(375ml bottle) Pours a hazy reddish body with a moderate light pink head. Aroma of sour cherries and earthiness. Organic flavor of acidic cherry with a touch of oak barrel. Descent kriek, but does not rank among the elite.

bottle from 1998 at Carlsens kvarter: Red with pinky white head. Very Sour. Live carbonation. cherry of course. Vinous. A lot more abstract and complexed than your average Kriek! Exciting!

Courtesy of Acertain...I’m pretty certain. <P> Huge vinegaretee and baby corn aroma. Cloudy faded red/pink in color with a two finger thick pink-tinted head. Fore is tart with lots of sour cherry, msg laden baby corn and and plenty of funkiness to assure the drinker they have a lambic in their hands. A little less acidic than some lambics I’ve had and a good bit sweeter though there is sourness aplenty. Feels lighter of body than even some fruit beer knock off lambics, but has a pleasant all around drinkability to it.

Bottle from 2000 @ Kulminator in Antwerp. Six years old on consumption. Deep red pour with a pink head. Nice sour cherry taste wihtout cloyingness. Good, soft but active mouthfeel. Tons of dry sourness, fantastic kriek.

Bottle enjoy by 10/5/2024: Pours a clear effervescent ruby red with a large, pillowy pinkish head. Aroma of sweet cherries with some tart yeasty funk and mild earthy barnyard character. Body starts with a light sweetness, quickly balance with tart fruity cherries and drying out toward the puckering finish. A nice, authentic cherry lambic, but might be slightly over-attenuated.

Bottled. 375ml. 5/10/2024 enjoy by date. pours a rich, burnt cherry color with an obnoxious pink head. Big brett cherry pie aromas with some cobweb and straw notes. At first the beer was extremely phenolic and almost undrinkable. Thankfully, it came around as it sat in the glass. Slight cherry flavors with a nice tartness. Low acidity, high carbonation. Nice dry flavor- how nice to drink a sour beer that isn’t dumbed down with sugar. Seems like it may even appeal to people who don’t necessarily like Lambic styles (LOL, I just read the rating ahead of mine) even though it seems to stay true to the style.

Pours out a wonderful red color. Has a nice pink head. Flavor is sour with a cherry finish. Lambics are something that im not a big fan of yet.

This lambic pours a hazy reddish brown color from a 375ml cork finished bottle. Large sized beige colored rocky foamed head, good lacing. Aroma is yeast, tart, cherries, cobwebs and must. A medium bodied lambic. Lots of tart (not sweet) cherry flavors, also lots of wood. Must and funk. Very vinous and very funky yet the cherry flavors really stand out nicely. Bone dry, brut like finish. Very nice beer. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is crisp and dry. Aftertaste is tart and crisp
