De Cam Oude Kriek

Brewed by Geuzestekerij De Cam
Style: Lambic - Fruit
Gooik, Belgium

2006 bottle. Unclear light red with no head. Cherry aroma with a light funk and some almond. Very tart and dry with some cherry acidity, but it could do with a little more funk complexity.

just the stuff to kickoff your platform patent heels and enjoy a night alone on a very comfy empty couch.... blood red in colour and devinely blessed with a gorgeous sour cherry nose this deserves the big cristal burgundy glass it’s in. how much it reminds me how sour life can be this is a sweet one.

A typical kriek. Light red color. Mild fruitiness in the nose. Soft sourness. Nice cherry aromas.

(Bottle, brewed in 2002, Akkurat, Stockholm, 23 May 2008) Deep red colour, with huge but brief, white head. Slightly cloudy. Tart nose with cherries, almonds, stable, horse blanket, barnyard, old socks and earthy cellar notes. Lovely! Tart taste with notes of cherries, almonds and a long, harsh, sour finish. Lots of carbonation makes it quite lively. This is addictive stuff. Absolutely brilliant.

375ml bottle (Pikkulintu, Helsinki, Bitter and Sour 2008)
Deep orangy red, no head. Gentle sour aroma, with some wooden barrel esters. Very sharp sour taste - puckers the mouth and sends shivers down the spine. The cherry is quite subtle in the taste and comes over more as a hint of almond. The wood esters are prominent. The whole combination is superb. Finish is both sour and sweet, fruity in part, and mellows beautifully over several minutes.

375ml corked bottle bought from the store at Oud Arsenaal in Antwerp. Lively, but not a gusher. Cherry red color. Wonderful cherry wheat farmhouse smell. Delightful lemony tartness, with a hint of cherry in there as well. Those looking for authentic, sour lambics won’t do much better than this one. Intensely sour. A masterpiece.

2005 Bottle at the Hotel Centrum, Beersel 25/4/08. Opened with an audible fizzing. Very deep, opaque cherry colour with no head yet plenty of carbonation. Big cherry fruit aroma with some barnyard depth and vague nuttiness. Tart fruit flavours, with huge amounts of fruit and a long, dry finish. Wonderfully balanced between fruit and lambic.
