Draft @ beer table. Red color with little head. Smells of cherry, yeast and bread.n taste is sour and tart with a sweet backbone. More of a sour then a lambic. Very good nonetheless. Id have it again!

Bottle 37.5cl, bought in Sweden 110210. Pours hazy red with a large, fairly compact head. The aroma is pretty sweet with lot’s of cherry, some fermentet juice and root cellar. The flavour is much more sour than the aroma, dominated by cherry, root cellar, grape and hay. A very dry, bitter finish that stays forever. My guess is that this bottle was very young. I remember it as more complex with less cherry in it. A nice beer anyhow!

Bottle from bierkompass! Bottled 2008! Pours beautiful pink with light pink head that disappears quickly. The smell is primarily cherry-like and red wine-like, with a slightly fruity berry note. The beginning part is very acidic! Although there is a very tasty cherry flavor, coupled with the odor detected by berry fruitiness, the acidity takes the upper hand here, absolutely. To finish it gets a little woody, but it stays still very sour, with great cherry notes!. I prefer the Kriek of 3 Fonteinen!!!

Tasted from an 09 bottle in January 11. The pour is cherry red with a nice pink/purple head of foam. The aroma is tart and funky with basement, cheesy feet, and cherries. The flavor is also extremely funky and sour with cherries, cheese, horse blanket, grape skin, and sour candy. It has a surprisingly bitter finish that’s balanced well with the sour. You’ve got to give it up for the Cantillon funk! There’s nothing else quite like it.

Pours Cherry red with a thin pinkish head that dissipates to a thin ring of fine bubbles. Aroma is barnyard funk w/ cherries, and oak present. Palate is medium with more body than expected. The flavor is dominated by funky mouth-puckering sour, with the same cherry & oak notes present. absolutely loved this. Wish it was easier to come by.

Bottle. 12.7 oz. (2009 Vintage) Pours a fiery ruby red with a thick, one-finger, bubbly pink head. Aroma of barnyard funk, cheese, dark, bloody cherries, black plums, and notes of pie crust. Full bodied with an insanely unique palate; starts off with an intense sour, juicy rush which melds slowly into a smooth, funky, lightly malted finish. Palate is astringent, tart, and chewy

Poured from a 1996 vintage bottle at a bottle share at Ken Schmidt’s house. Pours a hazy reddish color with little head. Smells of vinegar and cherries. Tastes of sour cherries and loads of sourness in this one. Gets you in the back of your throat.

Clear reddish coloured beer with small pinkish head and medium carbonation. Sour cherry aroma. Full sour and sparkling palate. Finish is very sour a little fruity (cherry) touch. Good one, mayby bit too sour.
