3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Pours a brownish red color from a 750 bottle. It smells like it always does, despite being about four years old. The taste is very tart still and the cherry flavors are still present. Overall, still one of the best Flanders Style Krieks you can find in the United States.

Bottle thanks to Clonies. Pours a cloudy amber with frothy white head leaving sticky lacing along the glass. The aroma is sour cherry and oak. Medium mouthfeel with nice sourness up front and cherry skin and oak. Easy to drink. Really enjoyed this one.

Sample from 2011 vintage at the Barrel House. Pours a reddish-copper color with a medium white head that diminishes steadily. Partial rings of lacing on the glass. Cherries, yeast and oak in the nose. Medium-bodied with a moderately tart cherry character and notes of earthy yeast, vanilla and oak. The finish is fruity with a mildly sour cherry aftertaste. Good all around.

Bottle at the Toronado. Aroma and flavor of cherry mash and brett with a nice barnyard aspect. Surprisingly better than Peach or Blueberry. Very good beer.

3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
A- pours a hazy burnt red with one finger of light red frothy head that dissipates quickly with mild lacing. S- vinegar and canned cherries are strong up front. Funk, lemon and sulfur lie underneath the more pronounced aromas. Cherry turnover, with its dough and cooked sugar also show up in the middle with some mustiness and old wood to follow. M- good sharp carbonation expected of a sour, plus a light body and full palate. Low stickiness. T- cherries show up immediately, with vinegar, simple sugars and dough to follow. Tart and lemony as well. Simple taste but good.
