dantheman278 (743) - SCOTLAND - APR 20, 2011
Shared bottle at BrewDog. Pours a striking pink red, with a small pinky white head. Aroma is incredible - funky sour cherry, vinegar, subtle candy floss. Flavour is predictably sour, mouth-wateringly acidic, really refreshing. Finish is Sharp. Really fascinating beer.

rand (740) - SWITZERLAND - APR 2, 2011
Bouteille 75 cl du Grain d’Orge à Neuchâtel (CH). Bière rouge brillante à joli col de mousse rouge. Nez vineux de cerise, plein pot, avec le soutien d’amande, de pomme, de boisé et acidité. La bouche est d’ailleurs acide, surette, vin blanc, cerises acidulées, le corps comme la texture sont légers. Manque un peu de rondeur. Amertume d’amande, de noyau, note de bois mouillé dans une finale fruitée et astringente.

beerisgoodforu (645) - Nørresundby, DENMARK - APR 1, 2011
Bottle of 2005 vintage. Pours a reddish color with a small pinkish head. Aroma is of tart cherries, vinous white wine notes, vinegar, funk, musty basement aromas along with an intensely tart aroma. Flavor is super sour with the cherries and notes of apple vinegar, funk, the musty basement notes, white vine notes and a some more tart fruitiness. The body is light with a very dry mouthfeel. Overall a great Kriek Lambic!
