(09/2005 bottle at Pikkulintu on 2008-05-15) Ruby red and cloudy. No head. Cherry and cherry stones in nose. Bit dry palate. Lots of cherries in taste. Sourness in surprisingly low. Really excellent kriek.

Poured a dark ruby red with no head and just a bit of carbonatin. Very tart, fruity aroma. Taste is a puckering sour/tart that lasts for some time. Good undelying flavor of cherries. Smooth mouthfeel and nice.

Bottle 37,5 cl. Dark red colour.hazy, a minimal head. Thick sticky body. Flat carbonation, long bitter sweet finish. Massive cherry aroma. Medium bitterness and light sweetness. One-dimensional and not complex.

Pours a sparkling and hazy red with a small head. Medium sweet- and sourness. Aromas of cheeries and vanilla. Light to medium bodied. Soft carbonation. Short bitter and fruity finish.

bottled, thanks to Hildigöltur. sexy shade of reddish pink, thin pink head. aroma of malt vinegar, brown sauce, sherbet, cherry ripe. lots of cherry stone flavour, rasping, dry, marzipan, vanilla, lemon rind, quite intense but still extremely drinkable

Opaque bloody pink topped by a remarkable, pure strawberry shake pink head, gigantic in size and highly sticky. First citric, then strictly about the wonderfully extracted fruits. Cherry is up on the front line, but strawberries are not far. Fresh cream, jelly and various fresh nuances give it a rather pure feel. Drier than I expected in mouth: fresh, tannic and only gently fruity. Active, biting carbonation. Hugely fresh example is what must be remembered. Very tart and not too funky.

(Bottle 37,5 cl) Courtesy of Grovlam. Pours a hazy, beautiful deep red with a tiny, rough, pinkish head. Sour - very sour - with distinct cherry notes. Medium body, very low in carbonation, very acidic with fresh cherry notes. Also acidic in the finish. Lovely. 150807

Re-rate, from cask at De Cam Volkscafe, in a cool stoneware mug. From here it looks like a rich Cabernet. Incredibly fulsome fruit nose with loads of wild cherry, sour cherry, sweet red grape and raspberry notes. Wow. Taste is harmonious, a bit sweet, sour and dry all at once. Powerful fruit aroma continues in the backdrop, adding nutty cherry pit and chewy stem. A bit lively. Incredible. Previous rate: Cask @ Bruxellensis. Bright, bloody red with no bubbles. Very sharp aroma like sour cherry candy with a citrus edge. Intensely tart cherry and dark berry flavor, with a sourer turn toward the finish. Somewhat dry and quite acidic. Not much funk. Tasty but simple in its sourness.
