duff (5407), Sydney, Australia, Surrey, England Jul 22, 2002 Probably the strangest lambic i’ve had. Really, really stinky, smelt like the a Metro toilet, dirty nappies and hay. Really strange, absolutely no bubbles, tasted OK, but every now and then this strange stable floor/toilet flavour would hit you. Still nice sour tart flavour, and decent cherry fruit flavour, but i think it could be a little less earthy and smelly. But interesting none the less, which is always good.
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 (1728), 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 (390), 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.
