3-29-08 bottle thanks to the amazing Miketd!!
Ruby red pour with no head. Smells of cherries and sour candy and funky garbage a little. Super tart and not super fruity (a huge plus for me). Nice tart flavor of bright cherries and oak. Mouthfeel is hint reminiscent of cotton swabs and cough syrup. Overall, a great beer that I am so glad I got to try. Thanks Mikey!

De Cam has a strong reputation of shoam, (=mousse in French), something like a fountain that explodes. The "Kriek" delivers the basic substance of geuze with a strawberry, appels taste.

Courtesy of Hopscotch. Pours a murky reddish color with a thin off white head. Aroma is mostly fruit. Tastes of sour fruit, yeast, and little spice. Palate is tart with a smooth well balanced finish. Thanks Eric.

Bottle, Merritt island Throwdown! Absolute ruby red color of crushed raspberries. Sour farmhouse funk aromas. Lively yet satiny palate. Clean, bone dry, tart, no insipid artificial flavor, hardly any sweetness, not complex, not much cherry, all about the lambic. Excellent.

Courtesy hopscotch. Pours a cloudy, deep, blood red color with a small, fizzy, pinkish head. Spotty lacing noted. The nose shows tart cherries, sweet tarts, and mildly funky barnyard yeast notes. The flavor follows suit, with mouth puckering sour cherries dominating, and various other acidic, indiscernible fruits in the background. There might be some raspberry in there, as I’m getting alot os red juice. There’s a good deal of barnyard funk to this one. Very sharp and ascorbic. Medium bodied, finishing nearly bone dry and sour. Well balanced. This one isn’t overly complex, but it is masterfully blended and incredibly drinkable despite its intensity. Awesome beer.

Bottle 37,5 cl. Pours a shiny red with a white head that immediately fades with some noise. The aroma has hay, barnyard and some fruits. The flavor starts fruity (cherries of course) and very slightly sweet and then becomes sour. A very nice kriek!

(2/26/08) Bottle at Delirium Cafe in Brussels. Deep cloudy red with a pink white head. Acidic aroma of cherries and some barnyard. Sour flavor, very fruity, with some cherries and some sweetish tones. Medium-bodied. Very decent.
