750ml bottle. Poured a dark and cloudy reddish color with a small sized red/pink head. Aromas of cherries, yeast, and raspberries. Tastes of the same. Tasted side my side with a Schaerbeekse Kriek (which I enjoyed more than this one).

750 ml bottle. Deep ruby red, very effervescent. Deep sour cherry flavor with good complexity. Dry finish.

Bottle. Pours a clear ruby red with no head. Musty, funky cherries dominate the aroma. Very tart and dry. Nice sour, acidic finish. Good.

Bottling Date: 02 December 2005 Appearance: Pours a purple-red body with a thinnish, bubbly, pinkish head. Smell: A musty, funk-scented blend of cherry and strawberry preserves that’s plenty moldy and plenty acidic with a note of cheese that is well past its prime. Taste: Tart, sweetish cherries with a spoonful of strawberry jelly are greeted by a pinch of salt and a jolt of acidity. Punchy sourness. Hints of soggy leather and topsoil alongside some tough phenolics. Finishes rather dry with a hint of decaying wood. Mouthfeel: Light-bodied. An initial flourish of carbonation, then it mellow out into a moderate carbonation level. Drinkability: A fine fruit lambic, but, in all honesty, it makes me more than wistful for another dose of that Hommage.

Deep ruby red pour with a thin white head. Funky vinegar aroma with lots of acidity. Very sour flavor, perfect for my tastes. Some cherry. Excellent kriek.

Raspberry with a cotton-candy colored head. Very sour cherry skin, funk, and lemon zest aroma. Flavor is amazing...pungent, mouth watering, lip puckering goodness. Great mouthfeel...refreshing!!!
