Bottle. Deep red/purple with a pinkish bubbly head. The nose is very sweet, cherries, sugar, some acid. The taste is pleasantly sweet and inviting. Not tart, easy to drink. A bit watery on the finish. Light. Body is light, carbonation is quite active. Overall, a sweet, simple lambic.

25cl draft at Cafe Hollander. Pours a bright red color with a light pink head. Aroma is cherries, a little yeast. Medium on the palate with soft, light carbonation. Flavor is sweet up front, cherry, fades into some oak, a little funk, with a light, tart cherry finish. A nice balance between the sweetness and the other flavors.
3.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Pours bright red with minimal head. Unsurprisingly, the beer has a powerful cherry aroma with hints of hops underneath. Pleasant cherry flavour, but lacks tartness and complexity. Decent.
4.6 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
Translucent red amber with a thin pinkish head. Soft creamy medium body with medium-high carbonation.
Aroma: tons of sour cherries, like pie filling. Everything else is hidden.
Taste: sweetness up front, earthy sour cherries in the middle, and a bit of oak and spontaneous fermentation funkiness in the finish.

Poured into a tulip. The label has 18-01-2015 stamped on it.
3.5 A: Surprisingly clear deep amber color. Almost two fingers of frothy pink head that falls rather quickly and doe not leave much in terms of lacing.
3.5 S: Lots of cherry and in the manner of a cherry flavored lozenge. Next to that, there is vinegary, sweaty gym socks. Musky barn and musty basement. Light iron component and plenty of woodiness. Not much acidity overall.
2.5 T: As much as I hate the intestine eating acidity of Cantillon Kriek, being on the other end of the spectrum might be worse. There’s nearly no acidity in this. I’m not sure what the hell this beer spent it’s time doing in the barrel, but it’s apparent that it wasn’t getting infected. Very mild tartness from the cherries. Fairly sweet due to the backsweetening (which I am to understand comes from cherry puree), though nothing like a Lindemans. Some funk in the form of musty basement and sweaty socks, but a lot of it is overshadowed by the cherry. The most aggravating this about this beer is that all the flavor is upfront while the finish is hollow.
2.5 M: Medium body. Reasonable amounts of carbonation, though I’d prefer more. This sits heavily on the tongue without being particularly creamy.
3.0 D: I’m not a big fan of this. The acidity is minimal while at the same time not blasting my tongue with cherry (like a NG BR does). Pretty mediocre.
Disclaimer: I rate backsweetened lambics to the style of sparkling fruit juice, not actual lambics.
