Hanssens Oude Kriek

Bottle, thanks to dchmela. My pour was not as red as the picture... more of an orange red, and a little hazy. Minimal head upon pour. Very gueuzy acetic nose with sour lemony citrus, some funk and dust, and some surprisingly mild cherries on the nose. Great musty sour flavor. Really nice.

Red with bubbly white head. Aroma is tart and full of leather, in addition to cherry and slightly-vinegar dust and hay, some serious funky urine hiding in there. Flavor is a near perfect balance between sweet, tart cherries and slightly sour vinegar, hay; it’s a little on the sweet end, but the sour cherries are long-lasting. Dry yet refreshing. This isn’t more complex than other lambics, but for me, it’s as satisfying as any that I’ve tasted.

Ottima kriek molto acida che sviluppa un sapore di sarde sott’olio. Bottiglia da 37.5 comprata a Milano.

38cl, from De Hopduvel Gent, complex, not balanced, hazy, nearly no head, nice sour Kriek

Corked bottle. Musty, dank basement sour cherry malt aroma. Cloudy ruby red color with minimal head. Musty dry, tart sour cherry flavor. Very nice traditional fruit lambic.
