Can´t give it as much as the geuze for some reason. Tasted after tour of brewery. Very cherry but very dry which is great. These people really know what they´re doing. Re-rate - this is available at Plonk in Canberra!!! Wow. I want to die from this beer.

1996 Bottle. Tasted with DrBill and crew @ the Falling Rock. Beautiful cloudy cherry red with a great head that has very small bubbles that laces the glass perfectly. Sour and earthy with some tobacco and cherry notes in the nose. Tart cherry and sour barnyard Brettanomyces flavors. A wonderful kriek that has aged very well. Spot on! Thanks Bill!

Gorgeous beer had an 89 alonside a 2001 both are stunning examples of a kriek but extremely different beers the 89 was a joy to behold while the 01 was just an upstart younster with many years to go to reach the level of its sibling. great example of real cherries and not the extract used in some other pseudo lambics.

[1996 Bottle enjoyed in 2007] Pours deep red with nice stable pink head. Fantastic aroma that is sour with nice natural cherry and farmhouse notes. Flavor is very complex with lovely sour cherries, tart and finishes rather dry. So clean and spot on Very refreshing. Wow - this has aged so well!

So not what I was expecting and was pleasantly surprised. Deep garnet pour with even a slightly reddish head! Big time cherry aroma with some sour notes. VERY tart with deep and dark cherry flavor. Not your normal cough syrup kriek. Great job guys! Made me a believer in krieks!!!

Cloudy ruby red. Scant pinkish head. Aroma of sour cherries and lemon. Sour cherry taste with musty dryness. Ages extremely well. A classic kriek, in a league of its own.
