UPDATED: SEP 4, 2007 draft - Pours ruby with a thin head. It smells mostly of cherries. The flavor is sweet and full of fruit, mostly the cherries. This tastes like the tropical fruit punch of lambics. I didn’t notice any of the expected lambic character. It’s alright on a warm day, but if you’re a lambic drinker you’ll want to look elsewhere.

Pours a deep ruby red, with a small fizzy pink head. Flavor is tart before it warms up to the proper temperature. After sitting for awhile, the flavors really come out, syrupy sugary sweet, that reminds me of those little cherry candies you get around the holidays from Hickory Farms. Very tasty and easy to drink.

Bottle. Sweet cherry-like aroma with some hints of sour acidity in the nose as well. There are also sour apple notes as well. Pretty pleasant aroma. Hazy copper/brown color with a small tan head. Pretty damn ugly compared to the Lou Pepe I had last week. Mild acidity and lactic notes to start, quickly followed by sweet cherries...almost medicinal in nature. Finishes a bit roasted and bitter. The cherries work in this beer like the cherry flavor works in Amoxicillin. It feels as though the fruit is trying to hide something as opposed to working with something. This is very drinkable though, but it just doesn’t jive with my palate.

Sampled straight from the bottle in Ieper to cap a night of lots of drinking (persistently pleaded with the the hotel late night cover boy to open the bar just for us and eventually got three bottles "to go"). A very drinkable fruit lambic, this one had enough fruit to it to be tasteful (and not a big mouthful of puckering), while not losing some of the sourness imparted by the lambic base (it was still a beer and didn’t taste like a soft drink). Aroma was cherries and apples. Flavor was mostly cherries (some tartness).

Can, at home.
Dark red with red head, fully diminishing. Aroma is sweet and powerful of cherries. Flavor sweet with notes of cherries, and a dry woody finish. Light, watery body, lively carbonated. Good kriek.

Red of color with a reddish head. An aroma of sweet fruit and sour notes. A flavor with hints of cherries and bitter notes.
