Jun 25, 2008 375ml bottle. Garnet color with a pink tinged head. Strong aroma is lemon, barnyard, with tart cherries and dry hay. Light/medium body. Ahh, now this is a fruit lambic. Great dry, tart flavors of cherries, lemon, hay, and oak wood is nicely complex. This one has a mild to medium high tartness front to back. A relative bargain for a quality lambic, with a completely different character than the Beersel Framboise. A most excellent beer .

Jun 19, 2008 Delicious. Deliciously sour with the cherries adding a tartness but not really any sweetness. Aroma was very salty sweaty with some hay. In the finish there was an interesting kick which I can’t really pinpoint but it had a bready malt aspect to it along with some barnyard yeast pizazz. Fairly lively carbonation but very drinkable.

Jun 16, 2008 From a bottle--Poured a bright ruby red body with a small white, quickly dissipating head. Tart, sweet, sour cherry citrus nose with fizzy teeth. A faint presence of burnt chocolate or malts that was very slight. Cherubic balance of all I’d hoped for in a true Lambic Kriek. Yum!

Jun 12, 2008 Bottle. Pours dark magenta color with big, bubbly pink head. The aroma is assertive sour cherry, hints of soft cheese, damp basement, and some earth. The flavor is a nice earthy tartness with a robust cherry flavor behind it. There is some acidity, but it is kept in check by the strong cellar and earth flavors. Cheese notes are minimal, but come out in the aftertaste. Not bad at all.

Jun 11, 2008 Bottle Pours a light pink purple body with a 2 finger pink head that quickly dissolves to a lacing. Aroma is sour cherries, woodiness, and some sweet funkiness. Flavor is smooth cherries and some woodiness, very dry in the finish. Not really very sour or sweet. I think this needs 5-8 years.

Jun 10, 2008 bottle@the white horse. poxy champions league final was on , so i had the pub pretty much to mysef :-) I tend to drink this quite often since it is one of my favorites. never quite got round to rating it though. till now that is. thank you football. It’s a beauty to start with, personally, i like it in champagne glasses, which definitely brings out the full beauty of this very evenly murky ruby beer with it’s smooth finely bubbled salmon pink head. Smooth gorgeous nose of Morellos, not too tart and hardly any sharpness. Mouthwatering body. comfortably sour, very natural sour cherry flavours. very dry, with good funk and leather. it’s a pleasure drinking this one every time. Definitely a bathtub candidate :-)

Jun 9, 2008 A very beatiful beer - staggering ruby red. Nose and taste is all you could wish for in complexity; lots of horsedung, cobb webs, barnyard and fresh fruit. I opnly wish it was a little more sour.

does not count  Jun 5, 2008 when i first smelled the beer a sour cherrie smell whas present with a touch off sweetness , smelled lovely.
the aperance whas red/brown with a small pinch off light-red. it poored without creating a lot off foam what left me the impression that it wasnt a sparkling beer. only comment is that i would liked a glass simular like rodenbach (http://tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:T7COktNTSQ5afM:https://secure5.worldaxxs.net/ssl.ommegang.com/graphics/graphics/00000005/Rod glass webcrop.jpg )
tasted very sour butt still (like the smell) a sweet and dry ending , i never would have guessed that the alcohol whas 6,9 .
overall its a fine lambic
