4.7 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
15 cl. draft sample from a plastic keg @ Bruges Beer Festival 2012: magnificent clear, bright pomegranate red, no head save for a handful of bubbles that are supposed to pass for a head with lambic, smell & taste is pretty mush straight up kriek juice, slightly tart, finish going a touch of lambic acidity, touch funkiness, sourness is just perfect for me, fruity with a real “kriek” fruitiness to it, hint delicious lactic, easy drinkable no unwanted carbonation

Barrel from the brewery at Sint-Ulriks-Kapelle.
Pours light red, no head. Taste is not sour enough for me. It’s isn’t sweet, but not complex enough for me. Like the brewer says, it’s not sour nor sweet, it’s kriek. Well that defines it actually. I had far better kriek lambics than this one.

A: The pour is blood red with no carbonation. Nice clarity to it.
S: A really intense cherry aroma. Tons of cherry skin in addition to the flesh. Lemon zest and lactic tartness with a bit of grass and straw. Just an amazing amount of cherry, though.
T: The flavor is even better. It’s just a little bit sweet with plenty of lactic tartness to balance that out. As with the nose, a prodigious amount of cherry flesh and skin flavor. Only a mild funk to it.
M: Medium bodied with no carbonation.
O: Awesome stuff. I could probably drink all 5 liters by myself.

Lambic in a box thanks to cquiroga. Pours with a hazed red hue and minimal signs of carbonation. Aroma is strong of cherries, acid, funk, leather, and lactic yogurt. Flavors haze some vinegar notes, cherries, vanilla, almonds, funk, horse and lactic acid. Medium acidity. Thin body with close to no carbonation. Red wine and jammy. Quite pleasant.

From bag-in-the-box at Het Goudblommeke in Papier. Deep crimson, lovely, with a few bubbles. Ripe cherries, yogurt, vanilla, nut nose. Slight lactic and citric tartness, but only slight. Light sourness, nice cherry flavor, yogurt, vanilla, ,emon, a bit of dusty blanket. Very drinkable, but not so sweet. Completely flat. Very nice. So drinkable...

Dark red, thin beige cream head, light wisps. Nose is very sweet, like cherry candy, heavy sugar drowns out fruit depth. Flavor is rather watery, more cherry, hay, light celery, and some rind in the finish. Thin but juicy, no carbonation.

Cask @ Fleur de Papier Plié, Bruxelles. Couleur rougeâtre, plate avec qcq bulles blanches venant percer la surface. Arôme est plein de savoureuses cerises donnant une touche pas trop aigre pour ce lambic. Une touche fleurie se dégage. En bouche, pas grand chose à redire, plein de cerise, palais aigre-doux, facile à boire et encore meilleur avec ce petit fût. Carbonation est minime le tout se mariant parfaitement avec les pralines de Girardin Kriek qui étaient disponible en dégustation dans cet estaminet.
3.9 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
08/06/2011 Brasserie 4:20 (tap). Spillata a pompa. Bellissimo color rosso ciliegia, intenso, limpidissimo, con schiuma biancastra abbastanza persistente. Il naso è meraviglioso, le ciliegie prendono subito il sopravvento restituendo un aroma pulitissimo, difficilmente eguagliabile da altre kriek. In bocca delude un po’, ha un bell’attacco fruttato di ciliegia, ma si perde sul finale, quando emergono note zuccherine forse un po’ eccessive. Appena appena acidula. Buona.
