Bottle @ Ørsted Ølbar on October 14. Pours hazy deep red with a pink head. Smell is sour and complex with sour cherries, hay and leather. Taste is sour, rough and complex with sour cherries, regular cherries and funk. A very good kriek that’s amazinly refreshing. Could drink this all day!

Bottle shared by badnewsbeers. Ruddy red-brown body, thin to medium pink head. Dry, cobwebby and sour nose, soapy, dusty, funky and tart. Sour, dusty, cobwebby body, grassy with a tart fruity finish. Sulfuric. Classic and clinical.

4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours out with a nice deep red color and a red head. I tried this one again after I head that is was brewed this time with ’Noorderkrieken’, an experiment from Jean. So this time it was more fruity, which I do like in a fruit beer, and less lambic taste. More fruite, but not more sweet, very nice cherry taste and a bit sour, it was very well balanced.

3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle - 375ml. Hazy red body with a fair pink foamy head. Sharp hoppy/cherry aroma with spicy hints. Taste is sharp but sourness hides the cherry flavors. Ends with a long sour finish. Good Kriek.

Dark cherry red with small pink head. Big berry aroma. Crisp, somewhat acidic, and sour.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Poured red with a white/pink head. Tart throughout but it finished sour (of course). Not as interesting a mouthfeel as I’m used to from Cantillon. Smelled great, though - cherry, oak, and vinegar.
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
On tap at Spuyten Duyvil w Andy and Steph. Seriously red pour - color of raspberry with a light red head. Aroma is complex: dry, musky, fungus and a hint of pine and maybe even tobacco, though not in a good smoky way - more of a cigarette type of presence. Insanely acidic palate and sour light berries. Juicy and attention-grabbing. One of the more acidic sours I’ve tasted.
