37.5 cL bottle. Pours hazy red with a diminishing pink head. Sulphorish, woody and dry cherry aroma. Dry and acidic cherry flavour. Finish holds a solid acidity with a nice sulphorish note lingering inbetween the solid cherry note. All remains dry and close to woody in tones. Nice.

from belgianshop.com - hazy bright reddish colour, pinkish beige head with a nice lace; aroma of cheese, cherry and vinegar; medium-bodied, very creamy mouthfeel and very sour; dry and long sourish aftertaste of kriek and vinegar - a solid lambic

From ygtbsm94, thanks Brad. The bottle pours a beautiful deep pink-red color with a small pink lacing. Aroma is very original for a Kriek, with a grainy, earthy, dirt-like cherry sweetness. The taste starts subtle, with cherry sweetness and then POW, right in the kisser, hits you with a tremendous dry acidic sourness. it lingers for a bit. A very nice of original sweetness with earthy character (maybe the cherry pitts?) mixed in a with a short but strong sourness. The mouthfeel is pretty relaxed here, no sharp spiky carbonation a la Cantillon.
375mL cork and wire, bottle #39983, Cantillon small rounded wine glass.

Bottle shared with Beastiefan and puzzl. Pours red with a nice pink head. Smells tarte with a wonderful backdrop of fruit and pits. Taste is very tarte and dry with some peppery sour splashes. Very tarte and textured on the finish. Superb!
