On tap at the Great Lakes Brewfest 2009. Reddish brown with a thin off-white head. Aroma of sour cherries, varnish, mild yeast and oak. Taste is mildly sour with cherry, tannins, light funk and malt. Though not as "sour" as most sour ale it’s a still a decent sour ale.

Dec 14, 2009 Tap. I’ve had this many times before but just am now getting around to rating it. Tart cherries without the funk. Perhaps the brett hasn’t taken over quite yet? Deep brownish red body with very little head. The flavor is tart cherries, sweet cherries, and vanilla. Some sort of light toffee. Medium bodied and tart but not sour.

Nov 13, 2009 Sampled at FoBAB ’09. Red pour with some head. Big sour cherry aroma. Kind of funky, dirty cherry flavor. Not the best of sours but certainly one of the better beers i’ve had from Lakefront. Dug the earthy, sourness though.

Nov 4, 2009 Pours a light reddish color with a small head. Wonderful sour cherry dominated the aroma. Flavor is of tart, sour cherries, but not as sour as the aroma lead me to believe. Some touches of oak in there as well. Not bad at all!

Aug 23, 2009 I heard that this will be bottled. If it’s not too expensive, I’ll be buying it up. A light and drinkable sour kriek beer, this was perfect on the scorching GTMW09 day. Mildly fizzy, pink body. Tart and sour but not overwhelming.

Aug 11, 2009 (Draught) Pours a hazy red body with a small white head. Aroma of cherries, some medicinal, grass, wet leather, and light florals. Flavor of grass, cherries and some wood with a dry, somewhat bitter finish.

Aug 8, 2009 Sampled at GTMW 2009 (Madison, WI). Pours a reddish copper, small offwhite head that clings to the edges. Aromas are sour cherries, touch of unk and vinegar. Sweet yet tart, taste is similar, light yet flavorful with heavy tart cherry influence. Not really funky, but prickly, with a decent body for the style. Good fruit and tartness, a bit sweet overall for the style but not distracting. Finish tart on the palate.

Jul 31, 2009 Not a true kriek but an interesting beer nontheless. Lacks the complexity of a true Belgian but still has a nice lactic tartness that is very refreshing. A fun little experiment.
