JoeinUccle (689), Brussels, Belgium Nov 20, 2007 Seriously, I’ve never rated this? 75 cL shared among friends, pours a dull red color with some sparse bubbles on top. Low carbonation in this one. Intensely fruity tart cherries steal the show, against a musty backdrop of lemon, barnyard, sweatsocks. A tiny touch of sweetness from the fruit remains, some light bitterness from the acidity, and even some detectable hops left in there. Somewhat dry finish. My favorite part is when I’m done with the sipping, and I just gulp some down to quench the thirst.
Scauca (260), Lovere, Italy Oct 5, 2008 Deep red with no head. Sweet cherry aroma, some wood, some sourness. Definitely not sour nor bretta’s tipycal aromas featured, but still a remarkably good kriek. grandridge (159), Port Clinton, Ohio, USA Sep 27, 2008 375mL Lot 01 Bottled Feb. 2005. Pours an orange-red with minimal head. Aroma is tart cherries and wood. Flavor is very sour cherries and wood at first. Finishes very dry and tart. Not very complex, you are overwhelmed by sour cherries with woody undertones. A slight sweetness in there towards the finish but not much else. vyvvy (1722), Hazelwood, Missouri, USA Sep 24, 2008 Pours quite reddish with a very small head. The aroma is quite tart and vinegary, share, some sour cherries, wild yeast and some wood. Thin body with little to no carbonation. The flavor starts with lots of tartness, sourness and cherries. The finish is more of the same. This is not very complex, especially from 3 Fonteinen, but what is there is what I like. Ober (388), Best, Netherlands Sep 16, 2008 A dark red colored beer, with a reddies head, which disappears very quickly. The aroma of cherry fruits, with sweets and a little sour. The taste of sour cherries, wood. It has a long dry finish. JK54B (385), Finland Sep 14, 2008 Gorgeus red colour. A dry cherryish tatse. Nice head. Well balanced sourness/sweetness. A bottle tatsed at Pikkulintu.
