Sampled at Cantillon brewery museum: Cherry nose and flavor really come through to tame the Cantillon’s notoriously sour lambic.

From a bottle, at a beer dinner at Ol Factory Cafe, served with an oven-roasted pork tenderloin (not quite the best pairing). This is a big-time sour beer, even more sour than the Duchess they served right beforehand. Not a fruity lambic at all, despite the label. (#3592, June 2009)

Bottle. Hazy ruby coloured with a thin pinkish white head. Aromas of sour cherries, musty basement, rubbery tartness and wood. Dry and tart flavour with notes of balsamic vinegar, sour cherries, wood, red currant and spice.

On tap @ The Trappist. Poured a amazing purple ruby with a thin pink head. Nose was sharp sour cherries, semi sweet ripe cherries and lactic sourness. Flavor was loads of sour cherry, some dry wood and vinegar. Finishes nice and dry with a slight sweet sourness. Awesome!

2008 bottle from Bier Planet, Brussels. bottled 24 oct, ’08 pours a suptuous red/rubby with a thin fizzy pink head. served at 13°c cellar temp. aroma of morello became more prominent as beer was in room temp. some acidic/vinegary hints are also presnt. taste, morello, sour that just doesn’t become too much to handle. Once the acidic/sour mouthfeel is past, teh nice and subtle palate of morello sets in and covers the palate. the hops give the beer a nice floral feel. Overall low carbonation. Probably missing some other elements but it’s just a wonderfully well carfted beer and a style that takes time to be enjoyed and fully appreciated.

Pours a bright red pink color with a light pink head. Aroma of sour fruits and flowers. Flavors are very sour and tart cherry with a oak note and a spicy and a very dry ending. A very strong flavors but a very elegant Kriek overall.

Bottle from jessup plaza. CLoudy ruby pour with a very small thin white head. Aroma is earthy, cherry, with some oak notes. Very sour flavor of cherry, hints of oak and funk. Very sour. Very refreshing. Another enjoyable one from cantillon.
