Hanssens Oude Kriek

Smaller Bottle. Pour is cherry red with small pinkish head. Nose is barnyard, sour cherries, band-aid, funk, vinegar, and old socks. yummy. flavor is very similar--mouth puckering goodness. I just love authentic fruit lambics. Shared with some good friends and converted a couple to lambics. Im happy to spread the wealth.

Bottle: Dark red with a thin fizzy pink head. Aroma sharp sourness, cherries, some funky yeasty notes. Flavor, dry sour and musty, cherries, a tartness. I found this to be, a bit too harshly sour for my tastes, I really prefer the softer bite that the 3Fontinen had.

(750ml bottle) Small off-white head that wholly dissipates, atop a hazy red body. Aroma is mild sweet, sour cherry, vinegar, leather, light wood. Taste is quite sour, vinegar, cherry, some cheese. Light sweetness sneaks in there, but the vinegary sourness is what dominates, particularly in the swallow. Acidic light-medium body with light stickiness. Remarkably unremarkable.

aroma contains dark cherry, sour malt, and yeastiness. not small. pours an opque orangey amber with a small whitish head. flavor. flavor includes all that is in the aroma with much of the sourness and cherry becoming particularally prominent as the beer finishes. mouthfeel is perhaps a bit thin. finish is medium but not great. nice though. im having a bit of trouble describing this beer as im not able to put some flavors into words. its enjoyable.

Bottle. Reddish in colour with a pinkish head. Wow! Moldy and cherries and sour. Notes of oak. Very nice. Pretty hardcore though. Could feel prickling in my throat as I was finishing it.

Bottle from NachlamSie. Pours a pinkish copper with only a wisp of carbonation at first. The aroma is sour cherries, petting zoo, and a little bit of an herbal tea note. The flavor is extremely sour, almost puckering. Very sharp in the back of the mouth. Mostly grain and sour cherries dominate, and a more robust fruity sweetness becomes detectable as I acclimate to the sourness. Yay lambic.

Bottle. Pours with lively carbonation and a slight cherry hue. Aroma is lunch meat. Taste is vinegar with cherry and a finish similar to Swingin’ Door bbq sauce. Palate spreads the filth. I bet this would be really good on fish and chips.

Slightly hazy light cherry color with a small frothy white head. Sour aroma with some cherry hints. Puckering sour flavor with some light cherry in the end.
