What a coinsidance. I’ve bought that beer on the same day without any discussion with ogreface. Let’s taste it! Beautiful ruby color with a nice delicate pink head. The aroma is a little sour cherry and a little barnyard. In the taste dominates the sour cherry flavour with a good&mild tartness and acidity. Nice sour afertaste. That beer was a good surprise for me(from a mass producer InBev)...

stegosaurus (1882) - Levittown, Pennsylvania, USA - JUN 19, 2007
Bottle sampled. Pours red with a light red head. Aroma of fermented cherries, tart, and sweet. The flavor is sweet, fermented tart cherries, slight oak flavor. Not bad.

JoeM500 (1875) - Crown Point, Indiana, USA - OCT 21, 2002
2001 VERSION: High carbonation. Not as fruit-filled (tasted against 5 other krieks). Somewhat bland, even in the nose. bottom of the 5 tasted. There are better krieks (see my other ratings).

alobar (1866) - Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA - APR 8, 2006
Weak aroma, but hints of cherry. Color is red. Taste is a combination of cherry and sour. Dry to the palate. A nice lambic.

SDbruboy (1857) - San Diego, California, USA - JUL 24, 2005
Bottle, purchased in convenience store in Brussels! Dark, clear red with amber tinges and a foamy pinkish beige head. Dominant cherry aroma and sweet like a cherry cream candy. Sweet cherry malt flavors with some spiciness and hints of hoppiness in the finish. Smooth, creamy body. Underwhelming.

joet (1851) - Fulton, California, USA - JUN 4, 2002
A big foamy head, a nice mix of tart and sweet cherry flavors with a substantial old beer back. Not as crisp as the more available fruit lambics. Great with our light snack of bruschetta, fresh fruit and mild cheeses.

Vaiz (1847) - Den Haag, NETHERLANDS - JUN 3, 2010
Bottle at home. Hazy deep purple to red color with a thin creamy white head. Aroma is cherries, hay and some faint wild yeast. Flavor is sweet, sour and bitter in quite a nice balance. Slightly bitter finish. Lively carbonation and a watery texture. Better than expected actually.
