Bottle, Palace Hotel, Poperinge, West Flanders, Belgium, 26-06-07 Poured pinky red colour, with bubbles aplenty. Loz described this as like eating spangles where sometimes got you at the back of the mouth, I knew what she meant it was like that. Intensely dry at first but those cherries were so sharp lovely.

Pours a very murky reddish brown with a medium sudsy beige/pink head. Strong woody tart sour cherry aroma. Sweet and tart. Extreme sour cherries with some wood and very little vinegar. Pretty straight forward for what it is. Medium body with very crisp soda like carbonation. Quafable. Whats with the low ratings?

Bottle, 25 cl, Taste this more times this weekend. Dark red colour. Aroma cherries and malt. Not bad for a kriek with brown beer. Verhaeghe is good.

Pours ruby/amber with a nice pink tinted white head. Aroma is tart and sour cherry. Flavor is sweet and sour cherry with a little bit of wood and earthy wooden and metallic flavors. Very good.

Nice sour ale. Might be my first, not sure though. IT was a nice pour with a dark red body. Love that red coloring. There was little head and no sediment. The aroma was a bit too fruity for me. The flavor was very juicy, easy to drink with nice carbonation. the body was nice, not to syrupy. good sour ale indeed.

bottle. aroma is a generous amount of cherries. Pour is brown/ruby. Flavors include sugar, cherry - very low vinegar taste. Has some characteristics of cider and juice. Does not taste syrupy.

Never seen a redder beer in my life - beautiful. Looks like a much redder Duchesse. Mild, pungent, fruity aroma - predominantly cherries and grapes. The flavor is more superficial than Duchess, with more cherries and a bit more tartness. Possibly a bit metallic / artificial. Still very good, but no Duchesse.
