Commercial Description:
Kriek de Rank is real Belgian sour ale fermented with cherries and then blended with real lambic. It is unfiltered and unpasterized. The de Rank brewery was founded by two good friends; Nino Bacelle & Guido Devose. To them, brewing is a weekend hobby, not an occupation. For a few hours every week they make small batches of what many consider the best specialty beers. Their beers are robust and flavorful. They use the best Hallertau and brewer’s Gold varieties of hops.

The aroma is sweet cherry with out being too sweet. The color is a clear red and it has a collapsing pink head. The flavor is lovely; sour, dry wood, cherries, lemon, and grapefruit. A lovely beer.

(Bottle 75 cl) This is apparently and odd mix of Lambic and Oud Vlaams Bier. The latter is usually very dark, which I dont trace here. Very red color and the sourness from lambic is apparent already in the nose. Very pronounced sourness, but not extreme. The lambic clearly trumps the other beer, while the cherries are also quite noticeable. Actually harmonic. 231004

ZBF2008: From bottle. Pours hazy red with a lacing pink head. Dry cherry aroma, mild sulphorish note. Medium dry flavour. Light woody and mild sulphorish flavour to a dry cherry flavour. Shows a short initial sweetness which goes into a slight citric/acidic dryness. Ends with a lingering dry flavour of cherries.

Bottle 75cl @ 16th Weekend of Spontaneous Fermentation 2007, Opstal. Hazy medium red color with a average fizzy fair lacing mostly diminishing light pink / off-white head. Aroma is light sour / fruity sweet, cherry. Flavor is moderate sweet and moderate to heavy acidic with a average to long duration. Body is light to medium, texture is watery, carbonation is flat. Nice balanced sourness ;o))

Sour acidic cherry aroma. Unclear, bloody colour. Sour, acidic, earthy flavour with metallic finish. Tastes a bit like drinking wine after lager.
