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.

Cask at Max’s. Me like. A still pour that was super tart, cherries galore, winy, oaky with tones of freah grapes. This stuff was amazing. No such thing as too much cherries. A nice mildly bitter finish ramps you up for the next sip. Pucker up.

375ml bottle with no date, $6.49. Nice rose color with zero head and close to zero carbonation. The aromas are of musty, earthy cherries The flavor is more cherries, sour,tart, actually pretty good. The only problem I seem to have with krieks (including this one) is that the acidity is a little high for me. Serving type: bottle Reviewed on: 06-29-2008 02:22:57

Cask at Max’s 36h of Belgium. Rich crimson color with no head as expected. despite the lack of carbonation, the aroma bursted with tart cherries, minerals, light hay, grass, barnyard, and just a touch of vinnegar. The flavor was bone dry sour cherry intensity with a very light vinegar and funk addition. The body is where it fell appart; flat and oily. I can take a still straight lambic, but the cherry in this just begged for a spritzy carbonation. Great flavor, but bottled is probably the way to go on this.

Cask at Max’s. Clear ruby red pour with no head. Vinegar funk with cherries on the nose. Very sour dry and tart. Cherry is very prominent and stands up well to the sourness. Very nice. No carbonation.

Bottle at Den Tatoverede Enke. Frothy white fair mostly deminishing head. Red colour. Great sour spicey aroma. Moderate bitter sour flavor. Anis notes. Long well-balanced moderate bitter finish. Oily palate. One of the best sour ales.
