Oct 9, 2009 Split by Shyam. Beautiful nose of nasty funk, feet, orange peel, wood, cherry. Color is a nice bloody ruby. Flavor is a nice oak character with cherry, yeast, tartness, apple, vanilla and esters. Really something.

Oct 4, 2009 Pours a raspberry red with a quickly fading fizzy head. Aroma of barnyard, cherries, flowers and woodiness. Flavor notes of brett/funk, sour cherries, wood, saltiness, vinegar and a tart fruity acidic zing. Light bodied with soft carbonation. Dry finish. Enjoyable.

Oct 2, 2009 From a 375ml with no carbonation. Stinging sour cherry on the nose with a tinge of funk and alcohol. Taste of sour sour cherry and funk that makes you smile. Exactly what you expect from a kriek...sans carbonation, if it had more of that delicious missing element I would have rated this higher.

Sep 6, 2009 Pours a pinkish peach with no head. Aroma is primarily that of sour cherries with some underlying earthy notes. Taste is fizzy and when the bubbles disappear, a sweet-tart taste of red fruits. It lives up to what it’s meant to be--a sour cherry beer.

Sep 2, 2009 Bottle, 37,5 cl. Maybe it is because I didn’t store the bottle like a gueuze, but this "Oude Kriek" (the first one I drunk) was not totally as I expected. The colour is light red to pink with only a small pink head disappearing soon. The aroma was sour, one of lambic, and sweet, the cherries used. And strong. Not bad, but also not that special. The first gulps it is like a delight that you don’t drink an artificial sweet cherry-flavoured beer, but a real sour beer with a good cherry-taste. But to my opinion this one is too sour and too monotone, with the result the cherries don’t come very well to their right. Only at the end the cherry-taste becomes stronger, but with the yeast at the end the last gulps were not that nice to drink. I surely will drink this one again, if only to rerate it, but this time with the bottle stored correctly, like a gueuze.
