Mar 3, 2008 Draught Bright red, gorgeous ruby colour with one or two bubbles. Deep superfruit, cherries, very densely flavoured; fusel alcohols, vanilla. Peperkoek, sour cherries, not very sour, pure fruits. Still, I get some oily-like flavours from the cherrykernels. Super lip-smacking titillating fruitacids, and extremely refreshing. Super - I’m repeating myself. Fruitlambic in the best way.

Oct 4, 2007 Opaque very dark pink. Headless, uncarbonated for the moment. Extremely fresh nose! Remarkably well extracted cherry flavours, no comparison with the regular bottled kriek that is all about extreme acidity. Quite phenolic this one still, almost clovey, a bit medicinal, bordering plasticy and spicy. Certainly juicy though, but a tannic one at that. Not quite soft, but certainly not rough, yet the finish hints at character to come. Still, in this shape, very good.

Sep 11, 2007 On tap @ Bruxellensis. Recolte (Harvest) 2007... The fresh stuff, just tapped the week before, they said. OK then. It was a deep, dark red with a few bubbles on top. Big, black cherry aroma with some wild cherry. Tart, slightly sweet, and raw: very fruity flavor, all cherry, managing only mild acidity, medium body, and a cherry-stem aftertaste. Refreshing and incredibly flavorful.

Sep 7, 2006 Tried at Weekend of Spontaneous Fermentation 27/05/06. Dull cherry red body with no head. Sour aged taste of cherry. Liked the Mort Subite Oude Kriek better.

Jun 14, 2006 Draught. The body is orange-brown with a small white head. Aroma is complex wood, pine, and citrus. Wonderfully dry earthy flavour with that oak appearing again. Very, very dry now that I think of it. I didn’t get very much fruit in the flavour, not cherry at least, just grapefruit and then some oak on the lips.
Sampled at the Weekend of Spontaneous Fermentation on May 28, 2006.
