Bottle at Akkurat. 2008. Hazy reddish liquid with small to medium white head. Aroma of lemons, almonds, barnyard, cherries, apples and funk. Taste is dry and medium to high sour with notes of cherries, almonds, funk and lemons. Medium bodied with medium carbonation. Very nice and sour. Still lots of cherries.

2010. Pours ruby red with white/pink hued head. Aroma is overwhelming cherry pie, lemon, funk, hint of oak. Taste is much more balanced and enjoyable than their regular kriek - sour cherries, oak, tart with a hint of acidity and a nice pleasant fruit sourness in the finish, dry. Great stuff! Perfect balance of fruit and sour. Hard to beat this

Rated 4-13-13. 2009 vintage. Unclear pinkish red. Soft pink head. Dry fruity sour, smooth tarty. Berries. Balanced and delicate. Sips tickle my palate into my nose. This comes together very well as a package.

Un’esperienza mistica. Un crescendo di sensazioni dal momento di stappare la bottiglia fino all’ultimo sorso. Carbonazione molto lieve, acidità pronunciata, ma bilanciata magnificamente dal fruttato delle ciliegie. Bevuta anche di annate precedenti, dove naturalmente l’acidità sale di tono e la birra diventa molto più astringente. Da gustare meditando.
