750ml bottle @ Brewdog Tallinn (2013 version). Pours ruby red with a fluffy pink head. Nose has light funk, some tart cherries but also somewhat heavy-creamy structured cherry stone bitterness. Light barnyard there, some edges but well balanced. Taste has medium tartness, drying the mouth. Still fruity, cherries there, some bitter-herbal character. Finish is tart, has some bitter manure, barnyard and nice dry linger, filled with tannins. Pretty damn good overall.
750ml bottle at Brewdog Tallinn (2013). Pours deep dark ruby red, huge pink head stays. Aroma is fruity, soursweet fresh cherries, woody, slightly herbal. Taste is fruity, cherry juice, sour side, but not acid, cherry stone, some bitterness. More fruitiness and juiciness in aftertaste, even some sugar in late finish. Dry, brut style. Medium body, average carbonation. Very complex, juicy side sour kriek, well balanced.

180814 bottle. 2012. Huge pop with a foggy and mysterious intro. Not a gusher but massive head on first pours. Vibrant reddish purple. Pink head. Massive sour cherries, oak, funk, and tartness. Beautiful finish. Clean and effervescent. Liquid celebration.
Pours red with pink head. Aroma is cherry, oak, some sweetness. Taste is spicy, cherry, oak, some barrels, old. Nice beer!
Vintage 2012, Millesime Edition. Methode Traditionnelle Biere Brut. Bardzo wyrazisty pestkowy smak dojrzalej kwasnej starej odmiany wisni. Rozow- krwisto czerwona barwa, piana spora trwala jak na piwo szampanskie to juz zadziwia, piana jest rozowa niczym sloniki na Delirium Tremens. Wystrzal korka tak glosny ze sie az sam przestraszylem, dymek jak z papierosa Slasha, do tego powsciagliwa etykieta z czerwonymi akcentami. A korek rozszerzyl sie jak kozak w wilgotnym runie lesnym. Co do smaku to poezja owocowosc, te brety, ta wytrawnosc wyrazistosc i kwaskowosc. Klasa sama dla siebie.
Bottle. 2012 vintage. Thick cherry nose along with light funk. Deep red with substantial pink lacing. Tart cherries , mildly rich, with some lactic character. Thin-medium body, gentle astringency. Has retained a lot of fruity freshness, despite the age. Very pleasant. Not terribly complex, but quite tasty.
2012 bottle from Maekchu. Big cherry nose, lactic acid, yogurt, spicy cinnamon. Nice. Bright, deep red. Again rather simple, but the big cherry flavor gives it a boost clean as with the other. Not a whole lot of lambic complexity but tart and tasty cherry and high carbonation. Gushed a bit, actually.
Flaska från Hopt, provning med ölsällskapet. Årgång 2013. Riktigt mörk rödlila i färgen med fint rosavitt skum. I doften riktigt snygg kombo av körsbär och mandel. Lätt, ganska len kropp, nästan slät. I smaken en tjusigt körsbärssmak - inte direkt in your face utan mer subtil och snyggt integrerad, mognad. En riktigt tjusig och elegant krieklambic!
Toksnygg! Vinröd, som en rubin fast lite mörkare.
Doft: körsbär, champagnig, lite bittermandel, torr, lite stenig.
Smak: torr, körsbär, mandel, elegant, champagnig,
Bottle in garden, 27th May 18. Pours reddish, no head and my god a huge pop of the cork, lucky it didn't smash the garage window. Aroma is cherry, stone, funk. Taste is cherry, some cherry stone, medium sour, funk, fun, easy drinking, no sign of the 8.0. Really nice stuff, 2013 Vintage.
Botelski as "Oud Beersel Bzart Kriekenlambiek Millésime 2012". Served in a champagne glass. Pours hazy red colour with a big lovely light pink head. Lovely cherry sour tart fruity sweet aroma. Flavour: Sweet and sour indeed, cherry, so sour it's like salty, fruity fresh, funky, just lovely!
Sweetest tasting 2.0. Bottle. Slightly unclear red with pinkish head. Sweet cherries, sour cherries, cooked cherries, fruitstones, almond. Moderate sweet and sour. Medium body and soft carbonation.
Bottle shared at The Sweetest Tasting #2. Pours a dark red, pinkish head. Cherry skins, red berries, bretty funk, hay. Overly carbonated.
Loudest pop ever when I removed the cork.
Pours a purple red, short lived head of pink foam and minimal lacing.
Smells of sour cherries, funk, wood, degree of sourness not known yet.
Moderately sour cherries, very woody, light funk flavours.
Fairly light bodied with champagne like carbonation.
Quite good but $58 worth good? Nah.
Bottle, courtesy of SinH4. Pours clear dark ruby. Aroma is cherry stone, cherries, funk. Body is medium, strongly fruity and quite intense. Lively carbonation. Cherries, yup. Clearly stronger than other Krieks, but not with more complexity. Good.
Bottle, as "Kriekenlambiek Millésime 2012 non-dosé". Hazy purple color with pink head. Aroma is horseblanket, cherries, leathery, lots of cherry stone. Taste is cherries, leathery, dry, very dry. Fizzy carbonation. Awesome, maybe a bit too light.
Metodo classico su geuze davvero riuscito, in questo caso con aggiunta di ciliegie e lamponi. Notevole
Flaska från belgiuminabox, drucken med ölföreningen. Smak och doft av körsbär, hallon, körsbärskärnor, röda bär. Viss syrlighet, lagom sötma, klar, mousserande, fina aromer i god balans. Elegant och polerat som en bra champagne. Mycket gott!
Bottle at 2017 year end Ottawa bash...thanks Phil. Dark rose pour with a generous bubbly white head that eventually settles down. Epson salt, tart and sour cherry with a nice mix of pulp and pit, oak, some walnut and greek yoghurt whey. Moderate+ carbonation and full body, some farmhouse funk with a nice balanced sourness and light tart, refreshing and yummy.
Pours a deep purple red from the bottle with fluffy pink white head that dissipates slowly to leave moderate lace. Aroma of big jammy berry notes with a musty funk and light acidity underneath. Taste follows, with a touch of tannic oak and light acetobacter. Super bubbly carbonation, heavy on the fruit, slight booze. Very good, but definitely not worth the price.
75cl bottle
pours a crimson red, with pink frothy head
aroma is almond musty sour fruit
taste is light sour fruity dry tones
nice ,just not sour enough for me
On tap. Dark ruby colour, almost no head. Aroma is intensive fresh sour cherry. Medium sour. Light body. Boring!
Bottle into a wineglass showing deep crimson red with a finger of cherry tanned foam.
The nose shows pronounced intense notes of baked cherry pie.
The palate is medium bodied and well carbonated; a sparkling wine carbonation. Lightly tart with pronounced notes of baked cherries followed by a mid palate of sweet bing cherries. Completely dry but fruit forward. Fantastic.
Bottle: Poured a light reddish color lambic with a nice large white foamy head. Aroma of tart cherry notes with oak and yeast presence also discernible. Taste is also a mix of tart cherry notes with some oak notes with some yeasty flavours also apparent. Body si about average with excellent carbonation. I really enjoyed the additional dimension that the Champagne treatment brought to this beer.
Bottle from Philippe Xmas 2017 gathering. Pours ruby with lots of head and some lacing. Notes is fruity and cherry. Flavours of cherry, lemon, yeast. Medium/big tart, light sweet. Light body lively carbonation.
Flaska från belgiuminabox. Klar, mousserande, rosaröd vätska. Snygg bäriga toner med körsbär, men utan så mycket syra och kärnor som i andra krieks. Istället är det elegant och polerat som en bra champagne. Riktigt gott.
