UPDATED: OCT 8, 2011 Re-rate 9/29/11: Mahleket Hanikot Shotrim ’11 tour. Bottle shared by Hildigöltur at Plan B in Copenhagen. Huge thanks for all the beers Jacob! 2005 bottle. Deep red with a bit of pink foam. Funky aroma full of cherries, a bit of medicinal notes and some cobwebs. Sour flavor with barnyard, a bit of cheesy notes, hint of citrus and quite a bit of sour cherries. Smooth mouthfeel. Awesome stuff. 8/4/9/5/18=4.4

[9/6/09] Tap at De Cam Volkscafe in Gooik. Deep red. Aroma of fresh cherries, brett and a certain medicinal quality. Sour flavor of cherries with some vinegar notes and some sweetness. Medium-bodied. 7/4/8/4/15=3.8

On draught as Kreikenlambik 6° at De Cam Volkscafe, thanks very much to Pieter Pannecoeck for buying this! Pours a still red - orange colour with no head, reminiscent of tomato juice. Aroma of caramel, cherries and a bloody mary quality also with beefheart tomatoes and possibly Worcestershire sauce. Similar flavours with caramel and tomato again upfront and some sourness coming through. Very low carbonation and a lingering balsamic vinegar quality. Very different!

17/V/2012 - 75cl bottle from Geers (Oostakker) @ Klaas’ place - bottled: I/2009 (2012-515) Thanks to John for sharing the bottle!

Clear ruby red beer, no head. Aroma: lots of cherries, some yoghurt, sweet almonds, sweet dough, raspberry jam. MF: very soft carbon, medium body. Taste: very sour, little metallic, sour raspberries and cherries, some lemon juice, some vinegar, bit of yoghurt. Aftertaste: lemony, little bitter, somewhat metallic, fruity raspberries and cherries.

Again with deftim13 busting out the goodness. Rich ruby and blood pour. No head at all but bubbles along the side of the glass. Tart sharp dark cherry/raspberry/rhubarb pie. Taste clean and sharp. Cinnamon and cherries. Nice pucker finish.

75 cl bottle as pictured, "exclusiev" bottled 2009. from beerplanet. clear dark red, no head. aroma is tart, slightly fruity, marcipan, cherries, pretty sour, well rounded, very nice. flavor is tart, sour, some horseblanket and funk, the fruits not that clear, surness is cool enough, but the horseblanket part is a bit too much.

I love this beer. It should be, imho, the overall number one... it is mine, at least :-) pour in a wine glass, enjoy its richness. A perfect beer

375 ml bottle @ Delirium Cafe, Brussels.
Rated on 20100720.
Pours clear deep ruby red color with medium pink head. Aroma of sour cherries, mild berries and herbal notes. Flavor of cherries, raspberries and fruits.

Very soft and creamy kriek lambic, almond-y stones, juicy sweet flesh, dusty and dirty yeast. Just aa touch of brine. Dry finish with a slightly juicy.

750mL c&c thanks to ygtbsm94. Pours a brilliant, clear, deep rose with a diminishing pink head. Nose is sharp cherry pie, doughy French pastry, cherry turnover. Taste is salty, quite quenching, with a powerful lactic palate. Very refreshing. Bright and yummy. Rather subtle for style.

Thanks Brad! Beautiful purple red pour with no head to speak of. Amazingly vibrant cherry flesh and farmy funk with vibrant acidity in the nose. Cinnamon and cherry pit with balanced acidity and juicy funk. Medium body with no carbonation, leaving a super dry and smacking finish. So good.

Bottle shared by ygtbsm94. Pours hazy ruby with no head. Aroma is cherry and oak, light phenols, pie crust malt. Flavor is light malt, heavy cherry, biscuit malt and a dry finish. Light body, warmth and carbonation.
