3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle that I have had for several years. Pours out a bright red color with a pink colored head. Smell is full of cherries and some sour funk as well. The taste is mostly cherries, but it seems some of the sourness has gone away in the couple of years that I have had it - or maybe it wasnt all that sour to begin with? Still, a pretty easy drinking, almost fruit beer. Nice stuff.

Bottle. Amazing red color with a big pink head, funky aroma. Perfect balance between sweet and sour, tastes great. A top lambic, especially considering its a traditional lambic.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle: Poured a deep reddish color lambic with a super huge pink foamy head with perfect retention. Aroma of sweet cherries with some tart notes. Taste is also dominated by some sweet cherries with tart notes. Not as sour as some other example of the style (Cantillon, Drie Fonteinen) but I don’t believe any sugar was added maybe just cherries with a sweeter taste profile (but I might be wrong). Body is full with some low filtration and some great carbonation. Overall a very enjoyable and refreshing beer for summertime.

Tasted 2007-07-22. 2006 version, 37,5cl. Deep red colour with pink head. Aroma of cherries and butter. Sort of a red wine-ish aroma. Flavours of cherries, and dry champagne. I like it!
3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
Dark reddish wine color, with a pinkyish foamy head, sweet cherryish nose, with a marzipan, nutmeg spiciness, with some notes of wildberry fruitiness, and a faint cherry oakiness aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a sweet and sour, fruity cherry character, being a little bit on the candy side, with a mild wildberry fruity accent, hint of sweet winey oakiness, a subtle tartness, leading towards sweet and sour fruity cherryish finish.

My first lambic... cloudy red cherry colored beer with a small reddish head. Sweet aroma of cherries. Sweet cherry flavor on a somewhat thin body. A nice intro to a style I’ll have to investigate further.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Very acute tartness. I have not liked a Kriek before this one. Many I have had before have been much more septic tank like. This was not. It was delicious.
