Commercial Description:
Actually an initiative of OBER - Essen with gueuzeblender K. Goddeau, rather than a regular De Cam beer. Spontaneously fermented kriekbier, spiced and served mulled.

Warm from draft at Kerstbierfestival 2007. A red beer a bit murky with no head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of cherries and cinnamon. The flavor is very sweet with notes of cherries and cinnamon, leading to a dry woody and cherry finish. Underneath is a nice acidity.

RB# 2500: From tap, warm, Kerstbierfestival 2007 in Essen/Belgium. Pours deep red with a little shortlasting pink head. Cinnamon, cardemomme and cloves spices in the aroma, mild cherry note. Flavour is spiced of the same spices as in the aroma, tart cherry flavour, citric to acid which made me shiver. Lingering berry finish with a light acidity. Lovely - most memorable beer from the 2007 Kerstbeerfestival along with the Duvel Tripel Hop.

A Mes rate: From a heated keg at Kerstfest, Essen.
Cloudy blood red with a thin bubbly head. Spiced kriek aroma with lots of cinnamon. Tart and spicy flavour with just a light sourness and a lovely sweetness. Awesome, how can anyone not love it? Hot, almost fluffy kriek. Absolutely fantastic. Stunning quaffable velvet mouthfeel. Looks like the initial experiment did not work so well but this year it was glorious.

Sampled at the Kerstbierfestival... Reportedly a different recipe this year. Sour cherry nose. Somewhat flat and thin, but with a full fruit flavor of tart pie cherry, just an edge of sweetness to keep things reasonable. Warm and delicious.

Bottle served hot @ Kerstbierfestival 2006 in Essen, BE. Dark red color with a smal pink head. Aroma is glögg with cherries with spices like cinnamon, clove. Flavor is heavy bitter, cherry with some lambic notes. Not my favorit warmed kriek !

From the kettle at the Kerstbierfestival, Essen. Dark purple colour, small frothy pink head. Lots of cherry and spices, including cinnamon and clove. Tart lambik flavours with cherry and moderate spiciness. Not sweet. Light body. Not a personal favourite, but interesting twist all the same.

Dark brown to purple coloured with a small pink head. Sweet, very herby aroma, strong cherry hints as well. Full, herby light sour taste. Finish is herby- cherry again with a light bitter ending. Medium Gluhkriek
