Bottled(330ml). -Ruby red coloured, medium sized pale pink head, acidic cherry nose. There’s alternate sweet and sour cherry taste with notes of vanilla and maybe caramel. Refreshing with long lasting sour aftertaste.

I’m a little bit confused about this. In Sweden at Systembolaget we have two "Timmermans Kriek", one which is only named as "Timmermans Kriek" with an ABV at 4,5% and one named "Timmermans Kriek Traditon" with an ABV at 5%. But when I checked the label last time I drank this the name sad "Retro Lambic", so I will move my rating to this one.
The beer is much better than the other Timmermans Kriek. This one is definitely sourer with flavours of cherries, oak and some dry notes. Quite good and refreshing.

Bottled. Deep slightly murky and hazy red colour with small head. Aroma is cherries, some sour wood as well as mild notes of vanilla. Flavour is quite much the same, but also rather sweet, even though the sourness dominates. OK and quite refreshing.

Bottle at ÅBF08. Hazy deep red colour. Citric flavour, not dry. Sweet fruitiness. Not bad.

Acquired in Amsterdam. Pours a ruby red, pinkish tint with a fizzy soda-like head. Aroma is syrupy sweet, but not all the way artificial- still seemed somewhat good esepcailly as it warmed more rela fruit came though with a touch of sourness. Flavor is a bit sweet upfront but tones itself down after a while and allows some nice tartness through- some light vanilla/oakiness, light cough syrup, but otherwise some decent cherry flavor. Ok sourness, but nothing crazy. This is far from a great kriek, but it is decent. I thought I woudl hate this but ended up liking it enough to finish a couple oz.
