Sep 2, 2006 Bottle. Reddish in colour with a pinkish head. Wow! Moldy and cherries and sour. Notes of oak. Very nice. Pretty hardcore though. Could feel prickling in my throat as I was finishing it.

Aug 27, 2006 Bottle from NachlamSie. Pours a pinkish copper with only a wisp of carbonation at first. The aroma is sour cherries, petting zoo, and a little bit of an herbal tea note. The flavor is extremely sour, almost puckering. Very sharp in the back of the mouth. Mostly grain and sour cherries dominate, and a more robust fruity sweetness becomes detectable as I acclimate to the sourness. Yay lambic.

Aug 20, 2006 Bottle. Pours with lively carbonation and a slight cherry hue. Aroma is lunch meat. Taste is vinegar with cherry and a finish similar to Swingin’ Door bbq sauce. Palate spreads the filth. I bet this would be really good on fish and chips.

Aug 19, 2006 HOLY CRAP! $10 for a magnum/50 oz bottle. I’ve never paid so little for lambic before. Hazy reddish orangish amber body with a small to moderate head and blah lacing. Cherryish barnyard aroma. Some sweetness to go with the acidity. Good, but could be better... more complexity. It was getting old after having 1.5L of the stuff. But at that price, this is a steal.

Aug 5, 2006 2004 bottle (I think). I was going to save this for a while, but after reading an article posted here regarding drinking this particular lambic with a steak, I had to try it. Pours out a red color without much of a head. Smell is mostly cherries with hints of oak. Taste is very similar, thick with cherries and rich with oak. Very good Kriek actually. And the article was right, it went with the steak very nicely, the salty steak balanced out the tart sour flavor of the lambic. Nice pairing, that I would have never considered had I not read this.

Aug 3, 2006 Very sour, slightly funky and just a hint of cherries. As it warms up, it becomes a little more drinkable but still very acidic on the palate.
