3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle shared by Kiefer. Pours a murky brown with heavy sediment and minimal head. Smell is cherries, woody, earthy and a hint of Playdough. Taste is very, very tart. Big cherry finish with some earthy notes from the wood. To be honest (and I haven’t tried many), but this is the first sour that I have enjoyed. And as this one warmed it got better and better. Very nice.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
On tap at Cascade Tasting Room, split with Matts_Property, pours a cloudy orangey red with a big beige head. Aroma of tart cherries, currant and cinnamon. Flavour of cinnamon, tart cherries, black currant and worcestershire sauce. Finishes citric tart and spicy. Decent.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Sampled at an esbls tadting. Hazy and dark brown. A thin off white head. A lot of sweetness in the aroma along with cherries. Oh my is this tart. Cherries emerge from the tartness. Complexity might be there but who knows. Throw in a bit of spice.
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Nice oaky sour cherry aroma with musty woody accents. Hazy rust, thin yellow head. Powerfully tart, less woody, with a near exclusive sour cherry flavor. A brief lactic appearance in the finish. Very well crafted and executed, if not a bit overboard with the sourness.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
2009.
A: Medium brown-red body. Some transparency along the edges when held to the light. Thin pinkish-cream colored head. Quickly fizzles out leaving behind a spotty skim and not much lacing.
S: Pretty much just a blast of tart cherries, vinegar, and oak. Not much in the way of depth... pleasant none the less.
T: Tart and sour cherry notes dominate from the beginning. Vinegar and oak pop in and out particularly as the beer warms.
M: Medium carbonation. A bit thin towards the back end. Massive tart finish.
O: A decent brew, but there are better Flanders Reds out there and if I want cherries I’ll take a real Kriek.
3.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Bottle. Dark red/brown. Tastes of tart cherry,, sour acid. Puckers on ther lips. Amazing aftertaste. One of the best dark sours ive had
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
This is a good beer. Aggressively sour and wild. Hollow on the midpalate. Feels thin, which makes the beer refreshing but not all that interesting.
