Green bottle from The Lighthouse in Manchester. Pours a slightly hazy bright red with a thin film of pink head. Smells fruity and acidic with hints of malt. Tastes initially sweet and fruity, slightly malty, and very sour. Pretty light in body, fairly aqueous, and light in carbonation. Takes a little getting used to, but after a few sips, brilliantly sour, subtly complex, and very enjoyable indeed. I’m hooked.

draught @ The rover. Really sour aroma with lots of cherry in it. Very sour and acid taste with some sweetness in the finish along with lots of cherry notes.

Bottle. Huge pink head with good duration. Color is red. Aroma and taste are rich with cherry and typical for Cantillon - lots of lactose acid. Very sour.

draught @ the rake. not quite the lou pepe but i’d still have a bathtub full of this stuff. Luuuuvly! Quite sweet sour lactic acid nose, not biting. Deep hazy purple colour, no head. Exquisitly balanced flavour of sour lactic acid, sweet morellos and wood. Bathtup i said....

Had at Milltown. Poured a gorgeously bright ruby pink, just vivid. Thin fizzy pink head that doesn’t stick around. The aroma is sweet and dry, some cherry peel, spicy, bracingly acidic and tart. The flavor is spicy and tart, biting tartness and acidity, sweet, cherry, a little dry, acetic. Very tart and acidic. Light acronation.

bottle courtesy of bhops. i must be out of my freakin mind to rate this a 4.4 based upon all the other ratings. this is only my 2nd kriek and this beer was awesome. red pour with a very light pink head. slight sour/acidic scent. a very tolerable sourness with a cherry finish. thanks again bhops for bringing this bottle over.
