75 cl fles. Robijnrood bier met roze schuim dat vlug wegtrekt. Geur: rood fruit, framboos, fruit vlezig, hout, Brett, 4 vruchten confituur van rood fruit. Smaak: droog, kriek, licht zuur, wat amandel en kriekenpitten. Sprankelende koolzuurprikkel. Lekker met een heerlijke geur.
Bottle. High assertive sourness, lots of it. Lots of funk, horse blanket, hay. Also lots of cherry character, classic natural feeling. Could use a bit more complexity, feels a bit simple. Still quite good, just not great.
750 ml bottle at home, vintage 2018. Pours a deep wine-red with a huge but unstable pinkish white head. Aroma of tart cherries, dark cherries, very ripe cherries, wood and mild funk. Medium body with a lively carbonation, a light to medium acidity and a light tartness - well balanced. The flavor starts with some acidic funk, less cherries than in the aroma and hints of wood. Finishes dry with some residual tart cherries and hints of wood.

Bottle, 2018. Color: Dark hazy, almost purple red, very large fast disappearing pink head. A lot of fizzing carbonation in the glass. Aroma: Funky sweet and sour dark cherries. Taste: Moderate sweet and over moderate to medium tart dark cherries, very fruity, quite a lot of funk, nice notes of wood. Tannins, dry mouthfeel. Over medium body, just below average carbonation, although it's still fizzy in the bottle. Well balanced, nice complexity. A real nice Kriek.

Pestkowo-wiejsko- dzikie. Agresywny aromat, zwlaszcza szocik drozdzowy. Srednio kwasny. Srednio wytrawny. Ale solidna obora sumarycznie ryli

Colore rubino scuro, schiuma appena accennata, media carbonazione. Aromi di ciliegia, mandorla, legno. Al palato ciliegia, legno, l'acidità è appena accennata. Il finale è lungo ed il gusto è particolarmente dolce in riferimento al genere. Una birra in cui l'acidità è ben dosata ed al palato molto morbida.
Sample at BXL 2018. Pours beautiful red colour with thin pinkish head. Very tasty aroma of cherries. Lots of them. Cherries at first. Slight barnyard. Lots of cherries in the end. Vineous notes, but not from the grapes, but rather from the cherry wine. Very well balanced and tasty brew.
Tastada en format ampolla de 37,5cl al Club de Cata Olut, Sabadell. Aroma fresc i àcid, clàssic de les lambic, amb gust molt fresc i àcid també amb barreja de cirera. Sorprèn la frescor per ser una ampolla embotellada al 2009, per treure’s el barret

Bottle shipped from Etre Gourmet.
A: Slushy red without a head. There was some creme foam but it bubbled out of the bottle and into the drain. Light lacing.
N: Huge cherry and funk. Tons of oak. Grapefruit rind and worthiness. Lemon zest. Lots of yeast and esters floating around. Attics and horse blanket. Hint of raspberry floating around. This seems like it has been laid down for years.
T: So bitingly tart but not sulfuric like some American sours. The cherries have a lot of pith and there isn't much sweetness to be found.
M: Light body, no alcohol, biting carbonation.
O: Tasty lambic with a big explosion. Could look a bit prettier for that reason but still... it is Belgian.

For me this is extremely and nothing more than extremely sour stuff!!! I couldnt drink it! It is same as you drink vinegar, I know this is a style, directly poured from the cask... but I made a Cuvee with this to make it a little bit sweeter. (as I remember with Lindemans Kriek or with Cherry natural juice from my village, I dont remember). Cherry aroma, sour, sour, sour aroma and taste, this was maybe the suicide souracide sour bomb for me ever!
Bottled 2009, tasted 24.6.17; beautiful red with a small to medium head; aroma is funky, fruity, lactic and cherry; taste is round, not too cherry dominated, medium sour, gentle funky, tiny hints of vinegar; texture is thin with low to medium carbonation; awesome bottle
