37 cl bottle. Slowly shrinking pink head with large bubbles, dark red body. Cherry, sugar, alcohol and yeast in the aroma. Sour, spicy and acid flavour, some light sweetness. Very sour finish.

pours a hazy pinkish amber lots of bubbles. aroma of dank sour cherries and barnyard. damn, i love kriek and their overwhelming aromas. taste is even better, more sour cherries, acid, vinegar, and yumminess. And they come in small bottles. this stuff is great.

A murky burgandy colour with a large light pink head. Aroma of sour cherries with a nice barnyard background. Great taste and mouthfeel; sour cherry, acidic, citrusy and astringent, light bodied, highly carbonated. I’m glad I learned to love sour in time to try this. Excellent.

Pours a deep garnet, great head that lends great lacing. Aroma is fruity, slight barnyard, and caramel. Flavor is initially lightly malty, giving way to the sourness, cherries, the barnyard, straw, earthy flavors, and a lemony finish. Complex and satisfying.

[bottle from dorsvlegel] bitter cherry skins, sweet fleshy cherry fruit, leather musky sweat smell, slight aroma of museums. light body, finish is dry and sour. great stuff.

Hazy amber color; giant head, compact; fine and persistent perlage. Strong Lambic aroma, sour, with a sharp cherry note, and cherry kernels, magnesia. Aggressive mouthfeel, sharp, dry, sour, a bit astringent, with just a touch of fruits. Very good!

Pour is almost like soapy raspberry lemonade. Acidic vinegar and raspberries touch the tongue and nose, but the flavors dimish quickly in an acidic burn of a finish.

Light dusky fruit aroma. Ruby pour of cloud. Dry tart fruit flavor. Really shows more lambic qualities than fruit qualities, which I expected. Nice dry wildness and lambic notes, but doesn’t really dazzle me, with basic woodyness and not too much complexity. Tartness is sippable and holds a little wheaty warmness.
