3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle: Orangish, thin sudsy white head, sparce lacing. Looks aged. Nice nose of tart cherries and oak. On the tongue it has a touch of sweet tart cherry vinegar. Its both sweet and sour. Clean, and better than I expected. Very tart on the backside, sour and unripened cherry galore. This one was very good. Well balanced. Based on others I thought this would be nothing but vinegar, but I was pleasantly surprised.

[Bottle] shared by BDR. Pours a cloudy orange with a soapy white head. Aroma is ashy, oaky, and some lactic tartness. Flavor is quite tart, plenty of cherry and other dark red fruits, and a bit of medicinal character unfortunately.

Had this recently thanks to "hannont. Colour... garnet-orange with no head. Nose... acetic acid and naphtha. Palate... tart with some cherry, whiffs of polymer and fibreglass in my sinuses and a musty finish. Me thinks this kriek has seen better days!

GABF 2006. this was one I couldn’t wait to try! Amber with a slight haze. Aroma is mouth-watering! Tart cherries, barnyard, light sweat, sour fruits(lemon), and sharp cheesey wafts. Taste is equally sour with more cherry, lemon, banryard, horseblanket, wet leather and damp wood. Body is light and bubbly. Moderate acidity. Ends with more horsey notes, banryard, earthy flavors, cherries, and sour fruits. Very nice stuff!
3.6 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draft... GABF ’06... Murky straw-colored ale with a small, fizzy, white head. Funky, fruity nose with sharp, lambic notes of horse blanket, cherries, cheese and brett. Ultra sour flavor and barnyard funky with some biscuity, sugar cookie malt and breadsy yeast. Lightly sweet, but still totally unbalanced. "Total barnyard experience!" ... take that any way you like. Medium-bodied and astringent with lively carbonation. Lengthy, dry finish.
4.2 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
GABF 2006. The beer pours to a geuze colored glowing brassy golden body. Nice white head. The aroma is insanely geuzey with tart cherries and leathery funk. Some cheesey things going on too. The flavor is extremely toasty toffee, tart cherries, buttery. Very tart upfront on the palate. But then mellows and excites.

GABF 2006. Light amber with some haziness, white head. Aroma is horse blanket, sour, slight cherry. Medium light body. Good sourness, nice balance, cherries are subdued. A really nice beer.

3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
Lightly sour and woody cherry aroma. Lightly hazy, pale copper coloured body with a low, off white head that recedes to a lasting cover. Biscuity malts and tart wheat are strong in the woody, musty flavour though fruit character is somewhat secondary and there is no real funk or farminess. Light body with strong, pointy, aggressive carbonation. Sampled at GABF 2005.
