December 05 bottle poured into a flute style glass produced a tiny reddish head that faded quickly to a few bubbles .deep burgundy red body is truly a wonderful thing to behold Aromas of funk, sour cherries and oak fill your nose Your taste buds are overwhelmed with the sour cherries and some green apple this is very much a sipper .If you are into sours you will love this one a little spritzy at first but give it a minute it chills out settling down to a fine Kriek Like has been said before drinkable is not a word that I would associate with a sour. This brew is a fine sipper and great on a warm summer day .this brew is a tad expensive so I won’t be drinking many of them But I would drink it again

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.

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.

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.

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.

Gorgeus red colour. A dry cherryish tatse. Nice head. Well balanced sourness/sweetness. A bottle tatsed at Pikkulintu.
