5 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 20/20
Oh wow. The best Lambic I’ve had. One of the best beers I’ve had, in general. Pervasively sour and dry, earthy/musty, with not unpleasant hints of sweat and leather in both aroma and flavor. They seem to have used sour cherries, which works very well with the full-force Lambicness. The beer is reddish-copper, with scant yet persistent head. This is an all-out assault on the tastebuds-- the knobs go up to eleven here-- and those who are new to Lambic should probably steer clear lest they be turned off to the style.

One of the best kriek lambics on the market. Dry but fruity at the same time. Big ripe cherry flavour with the same elegant lambic complexity as the gueuze, though it works even better here. One of the top 5 beers I had while in Belgium. Extremely elegant, thirst quenching and complex.

37.5cl bottle, vintage 2010. This was given to me as a gift and it was much appreciated! The aroma was barnyard, smoke and cherries! The pour showed a blood red beer with a fast disappearing head. The flavour is astonishing! I usually prefer my krieks with 5+ years on them but this was fantastic. There was oak, smoke, funk and cherries along with a surprising Christmas spice aftertaste. This is very good! Cheers Peter!!

750ml bottle. Pours a dark red with little to no white head. Nose is cherry and wood. Taste is sour dark cherry,oak and tart cherry. This is a world class beer. The levels of sour and tartness are amazing. The years of cellaring are noticable. Truly a classic. Perfecto!

UPDATED: APR 7, 2012 Cloudy red-brown coloured, small head. Aroma and flavour is more towards a gueuze than a kriek, which i like. Like the Hanssens oude gueuze, this is really world-class.

Holy crap this is a sour brew. 750 mL bottle pours deep cherry red with thin white head. Aroma is huge funk with cheese, horse blanket, with some cherry afterthoughts. The emphasis is definitely on the sour, with a bit of cherry, oak and vanilla between the mouth puckering and blasting sourness leaving the mouth dry. Great, what I look for in a sour brew and it delivered!

Grapefruity orange/red color. Almost no head at all, mild carbonation going on. Aroma is sweet-and-sour. Taste is very very sour, the cherries have obviously done their good work. Extreme and refined, best way to make beers these days.

Bottle from 08 Night of the Funk. Aroma of funked up cherries. Flavor of wood, acidic cherries, bretty cherries, just marvelously classic. No bells and whistles, but so fantastic.
