Je n’ai apparamment rien à dire... triste ? hiddenvariable (194), pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Jun 6, 2008 bottle, no date. pours a clear strawberry amber, with a sizable off-white head that fades almost instantly to nothing. well, it smells like a lambic that was brewed with cherries. acidic lemon, orange, wood, and some barnyard, all against a background of pale malt and cherries. the acidity tickles the inside of one’s nose. i can’t wait. sour cherries dominate the taste, tons of tickling acidity, some grass and earth and wood, and bits of lemon and funk. the cherries definitely come out more in the taste, or maybe it’s just me getting used to the sourness. which brings me to: sour, acidic, and dry finish, with a velvety mouthfeel that seems more full than the body is, if that makes sense. enough carbonation for the style. a pretty average kriek, which means i like it a lot. i almost want to drink it colder, as it’s so hot today. quite tasty, though. wickedpete (625), Lexington Park, Maryland, USA Jun 3, 2008 Cloudy reddish brown. Aroma is acidic sour, tart cherry, dry and dusty. Flavor is tart cherry, sweet as well, acidic vinegar finish. kmweaver (2398), Sebastopol, California, USA May 27, 2008 750mL bottle, courtesy of wickedpete. Thanks, Pete! Pours a hazy, ruby color; bright white hed with patchy lacing. Solid tart cherry presence in the aroma; clear bing cherries, citrus, lots of funk and concentrated sourness; funky, clear expression of a kriek. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: intense tart cherries, funk, lively levels of mouthwatering acidity; very flavorful with an intense, sour cherry character; tasty, drinkable stuff, with the slightest touch of sweet red fruit sugars coming through. Lengthy finish: tart bing cherries, red fruits (strawberries, mostly), lingering funk and soft tartness. cab (862), Denmark May 21, 2008 Old rating. Wild running donkey and put youre nose close too the ass-hole. Very nice lambic, nice one too a heavy meal. Cobra (1060), In a van, down by the river, Maryland, USA May 13, 2008 750 ml. green bottle. No freshness date seen. Poured out a dark cherry juice color, with no head & no carbonation. Aromas are of serious funk, cherry skins, not much else.
Flavors are of rotten garbage, cherry vinegar, stinky feet.
Too sour and nasty for my liking, and I like sour beers as a rule. This is some serious, hard core shit here gang.
