375 ml wrapped Bottle. Hazy burgundy red color with pinkish head. Aroma of tart cherries and cider vinegar. Flavor of acetic dark cherries with some oak and some hidden caramel malty character. Light to medium body with fizzy, but soft carbonation. Moderate tart finish. Extremely refreshing.

I like the bottle, paper wrapped and corked. Pours a hazy red with a nice off white head. Aroma of soar fruits and some oaks. Flavors of sweet and soar cherries, spices, oak and some sugar candy. Low in carbonation and with a creamy taste. Very easy to drink and enjoyable.

Deep red body with a minimal pink head that disappears quickly. Smell is of tart cherries with sugar. Taste is also tart cherries but I got hints of chocolate in the background. Medium carbonated fruity mouthfeel. Very good and unexpected. Would drink again.

Bottle shared by plovmand. Pours a hazy reddish body with a small pink head. Aroma is sweet with notes of cherries, marzipan, a little caramel and vinegar. Its quite sweet flavoured as well, with notes of cherries, rock candy and a hint of oak. A little to sweet but nice.

Bottle. Hazy reddish body with a small pink head. Sour cherry aroma. Flavour is quite sweet with lots of cheries and a light acidic touch. Very drinkable and refreshing.

Bottle poured into a flute. Pours a deep brown/red with no head at all. Aroma of sour cherry and vinegar. Taste is tart cherry and vinegar, with a small alcohol bite. Mouthfeel is not very carbonated, a bit on the flat side. A bit too vinegary to me...

Deep red, small medium head. Almost smells like a wine. Tart and lasting sour taste at the end. Its got a deeper flavor than most krieks/lambics I’ve had. Tastes of alcohol at the end. Thin mouthfeel. Not too much carbonation
