Bottle. Sampled at the brewery. Pours a thin white head and a ruby red color. Aroma is complex, and alcohol, sour, all with cherry backbone. Taste is not of this beer-world. A very complex and flat cherry wine, alcohol and sour notes. Very interesting, and strangely enjoyable

12oz capped and corked bottle. Pours murky reddish purple with a half finger pink head that faded into a topper in the center. The nose is cherry skin, red wine vinegar and light funk. The taste is unripe cherries, aspirin, vinegar and a touch of funk as it warms. Medium prickly mouthfeel. Good Kriek.

2004 Bottle. Pours a cranberry body with a thin pink lacing. Strong vinegar and cherry notes, woody with plenty of lactic acid very sharp. Very tart with a lot of acidity and a very dry finish. Pretty good.

Bottle at Novare Res. Pours a gentle red amber with a white head that has hints of pink. The aroma is wild yeast, rotten cherries, a little barn-like. Flavor is super sour with a tangy tart cherry. This beer is super dry and a pleasure to drink super smooth. Best kriek i’ve had yet.

Cloudy rose with light pink head / Skunky, funky nose of cherries / Light body, tart, with good balance and excellent finish / Flavors of sour cherries, oak, and a big dose of barnyard funk / Excellent sour ale.

75cl bottle shared by illidurit. Ruby with a light pink head. Vivid cherry aroma, quite tart, with the requisite lambic funk, but in a rounded way. Lots of tart cherry flavor, very dry, with low funky accents. Medium-light body with medium carbonation. Just pure sour cherry goodness. I could drink this stuff all day.

(bottle) pours a hazy, deep reddish amber colour with a short-lived pink head. pronounced aroma of sweet cherries with a hint of marzipan, light vinegar and mustiness. flavour is lemon and balsamic vinegar with a hint of blackcurrant, cherries and a sour oaky finish. medium-bodied with fizzy carbonation.
