Cask conditioned - pumped by some method similar to a syringe? - GBBF 2004. A sour fruity smell to this deep red coloured beer with a good looking off-white head. The taste is suitably sour with good cherry notes. A long lingering aftertaste to this classy beer.

Sparkling clear ruby body topped by a foamy small pink head. The aroma is sour cherries and light nuty malt. Sour cherry with a fakish cherry flavor, cherry syrup I guess. Very stringent finish.

Bottle. Pours dark red body, no head. Aroma is tart, slight vinegar. Taste is great - flavor is tart and cherry.

Amazing scent of oaky red wine, I have ever had a beer that smells like this. The beer is a gorgeous ruby red, soft white eighth inch head that sticks around. The taste is sublime, sour ad oaky, beautiful accents of sour cherry. A beautiful beer.

25 cL bottle. Today with Leen, Marc, Jerre, Magda. Almost clear deep red with a pink head. Aroma dry and cherry, sour, woody touch. Dry wooden flavour. Cherry and other fruit notes. Wood finish. GOOD.

Dark ruby red. Sweet cherry nose. Some wood and yeast. Other dark fruits apparent. Flavor is malty and loads of cherry sweetness. Bitter tart unripe cherries and lactic acid. Very sweet but does not linger. finishes dry. I’m a fan.

Draught at the Great British Beer Festival, Kensington Olympia, London. (Thursday Session). Very, very nice kriek, woody, and well balanced with enough sweetness to counteract the sourness. Very good beer.

Red-brown, not very dark; extremely fine & dense head, with a cream-pink hue. Cherry nose, quite fruity and woody, but at the same time perfumed, not really like the fresh fruit. Very tart taste, with a beautiful extreme wood-tannine backing. Very fruit-like again, better than the nose. Retronasal, there's just a touch of the fruit juice. Tart, outspoken dry-out effect, huge amounts of organic acids. The nose might just be off-putting for the extreme die-hard, for the less initiated it well be safer haven. The taste leaves nothing to be desired. Under-rated beer - even by myself.
