4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
RB# 2500: From tap, warm, Kerstbierfestival 2007 in Essen/Belgium. Pours deep red with a little shortlasting pink head. Cinnamon, cardemomme and cloves spices in the aroma, mild cherry note. Flavour is spiced of the same spices as in the aroma, tart cherry flavour, citric to acid which made me shiver. Lingering berry finish with a light acidity. Lovely - most memorable beer from the 2007 Kerstbeerfestival along with the Duvel Tripel Hop.

Warmkeg@Kerstbierfestival 2007. Deep ruby red colour, with no head. Aroma is a lot of Xmas spices along with cherries and some burnt sugary notes. Flavour is cherries, a bunch of spices as well as some mild nutty notes. Pleasant and very Xmassy.

A Mes rate: From a heated keg at Kerstfest, Essen.
Cloudy blood red with a thin bubbly head. Spiced kriek aroma with lots of cinnamon. Tart and spicy flavour with just a light sourness and a lovely sweetness. Awesome, how can anyone not love it? Hot, almost fluffy kriek. Absolutely fantastic. Stunning quaffable velvet mouthfeel. Looks like the initial experiment did not work so well but this year it was glorious.

Warm from draft at Kerstbierfestival 2007. A red beer a bit murky with no head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of cherries and cinnamon. The flavor is very sweet with notes of cherries and cinnamon, leading to a dry woody and cherry finish. Underneath is a nice acidity.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 14/20
Sampled at the Kerstbierfestival... Reportedly a different recipe this year. Sour cherry nose. Somewhat flat and thin, but with a full fruit flavor of tart pie cherry, just an edge of sweetness to keep things reasonable. Warm and delicious.
3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
From the kettle at the Kerstbierfestival, Essen. Dark purple colour, small frothy pink head. Lots of cherry and spices, including cinnamon and clove. Tart lambik flavours with cherry and moderate spiciness. Not sweet. Light body. Not a personal favourite, but interesting twist all the same.
3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Dark red-brown beer with a small pink rim. Very spicey nose, like glühwein spices and heated cherries from the glass pot. Once the cherries were out of the pot, there’s the cherry "juice" left. This has been heated with cinnamon and cloves. Thin, with a cherry/spice astringency. Talk about a missed opportunity! Good stuff from the Cam and spices, for such a poor result. Maybe lambic-based fruitbeer is just to thin for this kind of purpose.

Kerstbierfestival 2007
Mein 3. Glühkriek.
Zimtgeruch. Im Vergleich zu den anderen Glühkrieks ist dieses nicht so stark gesüßt, so dass noch der saure Grundton durchdringt. Im Mittelteil kommen zuerst Kräuter stärker zum Tragen, danach wird das Bier aber spürbar künstlicher und wirkt so übertrieben. Trockener Abgang.
Test vom 21.12.2007, Gebinde: sonstiges Noten: -,9,9,8,-,9 - 8,82
2.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle served hot @ Kerstbierfestival 2006 in Essen, BE. Dark red color with a smal pink head. Aroma is glögg with cherries with spices like cinnamon, clove. Flavor is heavy bitter, cherry with some lambic notes. Not my favorit warmed kriek !
