Bottle: 2010: Medium vast light pink head on top of a deep dark pink to bordeaux red colored beer. Smell yeast, dough, malts and cherries. Taste is mostly sweet with some hints of sour, red fruit, yeast, bacteria, something lighy creamy and a very light hint of wood. Sweet (some red fruits) light sour and very light bitter (bit malty) aftertaste. Low to medium carbo, medium body, tingling mouthfeel and a light watery texture.

Pours deep red with a low almost white head. Aroma is slightly sour cherries. Flavor is sour, but not as sour as geuze krieks. Great.

On tap at the klooster, delft. Little white head. Red amber colour. Sweet sour cherry taste

375ml bottle at 4%. Pours deep red with no head. Aroma is cherries, a little sweet. Taste has sour cherries to start and a sweet cherry finish.

Great looking cherry red pour deep red with a nice pink head .... aroma of sour cherries ... tart and sour sweet cherries mellow ... a solid kriek not a knock your socks off brew but easy drinking

Draught. Pours translucent dark red with a large, pink head. Aroma is cherries, somewhat sweet. Taste is much of the same, though not as sweet. There’s a bit of tartness in the flavor and bit of acid in the finish. Palate is alright, a bit watery.

Bottle from De Paas. Clear red pour with pink head. Tart aroma of cherries. Flavor dominated by cherries and a bit too sweet. More sour would be better. (Rated 2011/06/04)

300ml poured from tap at the brewey, shared with Finn. Clear, dark red. Pink coloured layer at the top. Smell of cherries and almond. Sweet cherries and fruits in flavour, added by an oaky touch. Acid-sweet aftertaste, still very much on the sweet side (Toer de Geuze, Lembeek 01.05.2011).
