Jun 13, 2009 Updated: Jun 14, 2009750 mL bottle from Grape & Gourmet. Odd, pink/orange pour with a thn white head that quickly fades. Very sour and vinegary aroma that smells nothing at all like most kriek beers. Jaw clinchingly sour; this is one tart beer! I actually like how sour it is but this is no kriek. As a sour it works but the label is misleading.

May 27, 2009 the sourness is just too much for me. the palate gives a fruity taste but leaves something unpleasant the cherry are very good though.

May 27, 2009 The aroma is sour and fruity with a definite cherry presence. The appearance is deep red with a pink foamy head. The flavor is like the aroma with a urinal cake finish. The palate is average. Overall there is nothing here to like.

May 17, 2009 How I love my krieks. Pours a wonderfully clear red minimal head. Amazing aroma of cherries and oakiness. Lovely taste of tart, acidic cherries. A very interesting finish of cherries and something funky. Either way, a lovely ending, especially at a temperature that had come down after the start out of the fridge.

May 8, 2009 Daytona 500 tasting. C&C 750. Clear red with no head. Sweet cherry nose, some tartness and a light woodiness. Tasty tart cherry flavor, not overly sweet until late, I like this a lot!

Apr 22, 2009 Beautiful burnt rose with light, off-white head / Funky, bretty nose of sour cherries and oak / Light body, very tart and a touch thin, with good finish / Flavors of sour cherries, oak, and big, skunky, barnyard brett / Weak body a problem, but otherwise very good.

Apr 20, 2009 Sampled during Skyview Sourfest II and shared by milkmandan. From a 375 ml bottle pours a hazy reddish brown brew with a thin off-white head that quickly dissipates. Aroma of barnyard funk, tart cherries, some oak, a hint of vinegar and some yeast. Taste is well carbonated, tart cherries, yeast, and some sour red wine. Finish is very sour, dry with aftertaste of cheese, tart cherries and yeast. It’s a sour, alright.

Apr 13, 2009 Bottle. Pours a murky looking red with touches of brown, with a small white head that vanishes rather quickly. Funky, with some decaying fruit, malt, acid, and wine notes. Slightly thin body, but it’s not long before that’s forgotten in the mouth puckering that follows. Strong tart acid. Can’t help but smiling as my cheeks tighten up. Sourness slowly and reluctantly fades away into a sweet cherry flavor.
