May 27, 2007 Bottle. Pours a clear pinkish/brown color with a small pinkish/white head. Tart and sligtly sour cherry aroma. The flavor starts out sweet then the tart sourness hits you. Lots of cherries in the flavor. Dry sourish finish with some hints of cherries in the aftertaste.

May 25, 2007 Updated: Mar 19, 2008375ml, pours clear blood red with very small white head around the rim. nose has oak, sour cherries, cinnamon, vinegar, peanut brittle, perfume, and sour notes. very pungent nose. flavor is pretty astringent and acidic, oaky, musty, very sour and sweet cherries. i think i might prefer this with 5+ years of age because at this point it’s too acidic. tasty but lacks the delicacy of a fine lambic.

May 11, 2007 Updated: Nov 24, 2007Re-rate, 375ml bottle @ Brickskeller. I think this was my 24th choice. No clue of vintage but it was certainly not red giving me the impression it was older. Pour copper no head, big huge tart cherry nose. Taste was huge with a big mouth tingling tart pucker. Damn nice, much better than the first time around.
375ml bottle via trade with biggcb. Many thanks. Always happy to try another authentic kriek. The pour is cloudy oragne with no head. Aroma is sweet, cherry with a bit of the lambic funk. The taste is big and sour and really quite spectacular. Very good kriek.

May 5, 2007 750ml bottle. Pours a sunburnt orange color with a quickly disappearing white head. Aroma is musty, tart, sour, hay, horsy, barn, yeast, etc. Classic lambic smell. Taste is sweet, tart, cherries, light bodied, acidic. This could have a little more kick to it. It’s a little too thin and lacks the complexity and oomph to make it a great kriek. This is still very good and I enjoyed it thoroughly though it is not perfect. I’m really starting to come around to lambics. I think I have acquired the taste.

Apr 30, 2007 (bottle) A magnificent experience, with the ruby red colour, tantalising aroma and exciting taste. Krieks should be drunk relatively soon, as the cherriness tends to drop off after six months or so.
