Commercial Description:
This is the result of blending black cherries lambic of different ages followed by a second fermentation in the bottle. Storage is similar like geuze. All bottles are champagne corked and can be reserved, in normal conditions, for more than thirty years. It is obvious that an amazing taste evolution takes place.

poured into a tall tulip. pours a clear slightly cloudy red pink with full fizzy head that was quick to dissipate. sweet yet very sour tart aroma. good smooth consistent palate with carbonation present yet hidden. sweet dry front of slight tart with wet finish and dry aftertaste. fruit is not in front, tartness and dryness is the prevailer, but fruit is in the background and grounds the complexity. very good full drink, great in a full glass.

(2/27/08) Bottle at Zolder in Bruges. Best before 8/7/2024. Hazy red with a quickly-diminishing small pink head. Aroma with lots of sour cherries and some nice earthy funk. Very fresh sour cherry flavor with lemony lambic character and notes of not-yet-fermented sugars. Medium-bodied. Very good and refreshing.

Thanks so much Harry! Ruby red-orange colour, tiny but snow white head. Banana aroma with grapefruit and pepper aroma, quite a mild aroma. WOW! What a mouthfeel!!!! Blew my head off, the flavour is so well hidden under the unassuming aroma, sour, pepper, lemon, corn, blackcurrent, saliva inducing! Just an incredible mix of flavours. Whew!

pours amber with a thin white head. Aroma of acidic lemons and funk. Funky citrus and tart cherry flavor. Sour and acidic. Good.

Tart cherry aroma. Not super funky, nor super sour, but enough to keep it interesting. Pleasant to drink.

750ml corked bottle (bought at Knightly in Orlando) and served in my New Glarus Flute:

Reddish hue with a small fizzy head and spotty lace. The aroma has notes of tart cherry, brett funk, grainy, oak, almond, and herbal essence. The flavor profile is a full on assault of sourness from the cherries and the yeast. Woody and nutty on the bone dry finish. Sublime floral and barnyard qualities are found when the brew opens up. Sprite and refreshing mouth feel. A very nice fruit lambic that I am digging quite a bit. Priced nice too!

Super tart, strong cherry presence. Really leaves your mouth puckering. Very acidic, don’t know if I could drink more than one or two of these, but something keeps drawing me back to it....would be curious how this would hold up for 10-20 years.

Bottle, 37,5 cl. (Bought @ Geers) Absolutly one of the best kriek lambics on the market. Beautiful red color, little rose head. Aroma sour, cherries. Medium body. Taste sourness, dry but fruity at the same time. Great sour and cherrie aftertaste. Like it !
