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.

How I love my krieks. Pours a wonderfully clear red minimal head. Amazing aroma of cherries and oakiness. Lovely taste of tart, acidic cherries. A very interesting finish of cherries and something funky. Either way, a lovely ending, especially at a temperature that had come down after the start out of the fridge.

Daytona 500 tasting. C&C 750. Clear red with no head. Sweet cherry nose, some tartness and a light woodiness. Tasty tart cherry flavor, not overly sweet until late, I like this a lot!

Beautiful burnt rose with light, off-white head / Funky, bretty nose of sour cherries and oak / Light body, very tart and a touch thin, with good finish / Flavors of sour cherries, oak, and big, skunky, barnyard brett / Weak body a problem, but otherwise very good.

Sampled during Skyview Sourfest II and shared by milkmandan. From a 375 ml bottle pours a hazy reddish brown brew with a thin off-white head that quickly dissipates. Aroma of barnyard funk, tart cherries, some oak, a hint of vinegar and some yeast. Taste is well carbonated, tart cherries, yeast, and some sour red wine. Finish is very sour, dry with aftertaste of cheese, tart cherries and yeast. It’s a sour, alright.

Bottle. Pours a murky looking red with touches of brown, with a small white head that vanishes rather quickly. Funky, with some decaying fruit, malt, acid, and wine notes. Slightly thin body, but it’s not long before that’s forgotten in the mouth puckering that follows. Strong tart acid. Can’t help but smiling as my cheeks tighten up. Sourness slowly and reluctantly fades away into a sweet cherry flavor.

A very good kriek, a bit too sweet but still a solid one with wood and cherry notes and a lovely sour taste. Doesn’t size up to Hanssens better stuff though.

750 ML bottle. A murky reddish brown with faint islands of head. Not a lot of kriek in the aroma, but there’s plenty of horse blanket, wood, and other funk. Faint kriek in the tart and funky body and a biting finish. The finish lingers, with the sourness gradually fading to reveal the strongest cherry of the experience.

750ml Bottle 5 years old. Pours an amber red body with a white head. Sour funky cherries, hints of horse blanket, and dry tart wood. Light acetic acid and balsamic vinegar notes. A light sweet start with a dry funky cherry finish. This is delicious.
