Bottle that was bottled on 8/28/07. Clear red pour with a medium pink head. Cherry aroma with lots of funky vinegar and some subtle sweetness. Funky vinegar and cherry flavor with very little sweetness and a bitter finish. Not bad, but has that bile flavor that a lot of sour beers have that I don’t particularly care for.

Bottle, 2009 vintage, held in storage for about 2 months. Pours a deep cherry red with a slight pink/white head. Looks almost pink around the edges but a dark red in the center. Smells like a red wine....fruit, vinegar. Extremely dry and sour. Most of the people I was drinking it with didn’t really like it. The beer reminded me of a cherry-flavored sour patch kid....it was compared to a beer/wine combo by some friends - the combination and crisper mouthfeel of a beer with the sour taste and dry finish of a red wine. I enjoyed it.

Poured red with a thin layer of white and pink foam. The aroma cherry, light funk, pepper and spice. The flavor was cherry and pepper with some funk sliding in. A touch of vinegar as it warmed. Thin body, dry finish. OK. Not great.

No head and a strong dark cherry aroma. Very sour, kind of fun to watch my wife pucker up when she tasted this. The taste is that of a sour black cherry with a long-lingering aftertaste.

Bottled 2006, opened 2009: Pours dark red with only a minimum head. Cherries and currant in aroma. Cheriies with an intense acidity and tartness in flavor with a long lasting finish. Totally flat, but it’s an elegant sipper.

Aroma of funk and cherries. Appearance is red with no head. Flavor is very sour with hints of funk and it’s very dry. Overall a very interesting beer that’s extremely sour.

A nose of cherries, almonds and soap. Taste is of cherries, grass, anis and soap. As always with cantillon, the sourness is overpowering. Finish is dry. Overall, this is a good kriek with a nice fruitiness.

After the beer was served in the glass there was found a lasting quantity not wall adhesive light red foam collar which was fine and evenly of structure. The beer also contained no carbonic acid in the glass. The beer has a clear red color and a sweet taste. The after tast of the beer is light hoppy bitter with a fruity touch. This beer smells to light acid.
