Bottle from Uto, shared with Phil L, Chris O, Toshi from Yo-Ho and Greg & Mitch from Stone.
Ok, it’s not amazing but still, Lindemans? Must be the best I’ve had from them. Deep red with a thin pinkish head. Nose is slightly tart cherry and barnyard. Taste is similar but also has a sweet and artificial note from the syrup used, this was quite obvious side by side with De Cam Oude Kriek. Was spritzy in the mouth with a nice dryness and acidity. I was pleasantly surprised but not completely bowled over.

Aug 29, 2008 Bottle (75 cl) from Systembolaget. Deep violet, fantastic dark pink head. Soft fresh cherry aroma on a grapefruit cidery base. Some oak notes in the background. Moussy mouthfeel. Very dry by a firm but yet slightly restrained acidity, and a soft bitterness.

Aug 28, 2008 Murky brown in colour (I had the bottom of the bottle, other pours were deep red) with a long lasting pinkish head, good lacing. The aroma is acidic, very tart, lots of cherries, oak and a bit of yeast. The flavour is of cherry tartness, dry, cheese, leather, wood, sour and acidic. Dry mouthfeel, medium body, medium/high carbonation. Finishes long, dry and the acidity seems to pick up.
This is very good, ends quite sour and lingering. Highly drinkable.

Aug 16, 2008 75 cl bottle. Beatiful deep dark red color with a nice pink head. I really like to look at this beer. Fantastic. Aroma is vinous with notes of smoke, stable and other lambic-like aromas. Flavour is vinous, sour/acid with some slight sweetness and some sour cherries, though the cherries isn’t that prominent. It was something I thought about when drinking it but I didn’t write it down, but now I know - almonds! Mouthfeel is a bit rough, but in a good way. Great kriek!
