75cl bottle shared by bret27. The best of the night for rating 1300. This was a beast of a beer. I loved their regular kriek when I had it, but this just takes it to another level of sour-cherry-amazingness. Opaque red in color with a small head. Awesomely funky sour lambic nose with lots of tart cherries. There is a lot of cherry on the flavor as well, but very dry and sour in the mix. Very lactic and citric in the tartness, but very rounded into the cherry. Light and spritzy mouthfeel. I need to get the rest of the Lou Pepe lineup now...

Bottle courtesy bret27. Poured into a Bruery tulip. Deep strawberry red with a light pink head that fades quickly due to the expected acidity. Aroma is lemons and sour cherries, a hint of sweet strawberry, oodles of citric acid. Flavor is very sour but with a solid amount of fruitiness to balance. Sour cherries, slight musty earthiness, old wood, straw. Pretty great kriek.

05 vintage Bottle thanks to Gerrit at the First Annual Chicago Sour Tasting. Hazed red purple color with a thin off white head. Tart cherries, dark fruits, interesting nose. Dark fruits, cherries, lots of cherry juice that’s tart, acidic and tasty. Solid.

Ruby red in color with a decent sized pink head. Aroma is sour, cherry, funk, hay, raspberry, light earth. Taste is of sour cherries, with a tart finish thatblends into a pastry-likr aftertaste. Light wood in flavor and very dry.

2006 bottle. Reddish pour, vinegar, cherries, funk, feet, oak. Tiny and minimal carbonation. Pithy and tart. Quite good.

Beautiful deep pinkish orange pour with little pink bubbles on top. Beautiful beer. Cherries and citrus in the nose and flavor. Lively palate. Decent oak finish.

Sampled at the 2009 Stone Sour Festival. Outstanding! I know I had this before but missed the rating. Tart cherries with a touch of lemon peel. Very good.
