Commercial Description:
This is the result of blending black cherries lambic of different ages followed by a second fermentation in the bottle. Storage is similar like geuze. All bottles are champagne corked and can be reserved, in normal conditions, for more than thirty years. It is obvious that an amazing taste evolution takes place.

pours amber with a thin white head. Aroma of acidic lemons and funk. Funky citrus and tart cherry flavor. Sour and acidic. Good.

Tart cherry aroma. Not super funky, nor super sour, but enough to keep it interesting. Pleasant to drink.

750ml corked bottle (bought at Knightly in Orlando) and served in my New Glarus Flute:

Reddish hue with a small fizzy head and spotty lace. The aroma has notes of tart cherry, brett funk, grainy, oak, almond, and herbal essence. The flavor profile is a full on assault of sourness from the cherries and the yeast. Woody and nutty on the bone dry finish. Sublime floral and barnyard qualities are found when the brew opens up. Sprite and refreshing mouth feel. A very nice fruit lambic that I am digging quite a bit. Priced nice too!

Super tart, strong cherry presence. Really leaves your mouth puckering. Very acidic, don’t know if I could drink more than one or two of these, but something keeps drawing me back to it....would be curious how this would hold up for 10-20 years.

Bottle, 37,5 cl. (Bought @ Geers) Absolutly one of the best kriek lambics on the market. Beautiful red color, little rose head. Aroma sour, cherries. Medium body. Taste sourness, dry but fruity at the same time. Great sour and cherrie aftertaste. Like it !

Bottle shared with my sour-loving mom. Poured clear red with virtually no head. Aroma was definitely barnyard funky and sour, just what I like. Flavor was full of sour cherries and lots of acidity, and that’s about it, which I’m fine with. Awesome sour beer overall.

Poured a beautiful ruby red color. Aroma is typically sour and dank, yet is so delicious. The aromas of the cherries come through, with a grandiose almond charecter. The flavor is intense, with a strapping acidity and sourness, with a hint of earth to round things out. A lot of bang for your buck with this one.

Hulking wet sour blanket fragrance. Good tingly carbonation. Wonderful biting sour attack on the palate. Fruity tart and farmmy. Certainly not your run of the mill fru-fru sweet fruity lambic. Gratifying and fulfilling. No unsavory linger what so ever. Dirty clouddy red fun. Seems to have originated in the bottom of an old barn’s rain barrel. Delectable mouth puckering elegant zest.
