May 31, 2008 375 ml bottle, 2004 bottling. Cork was seeping, bottle was on its side for the past four years. Cork self ejected with great force as soon as the cage was undone- Beautiful garnet red, smallish light pink head, bubbles streaming up the sides of the glass. Smells like oak bark, sour cherries, lemon zest, leather and tobacco. Taste is very cherry- sour, funky, dry. Very nice once in a while, will see how this changes in the next 5 years.

May 23, 2008 Thick deep red pour with pink head. Cherry nose. Flavor was much the same with big nose of fruit not too sour and sweet.

May 16, 2008 Hazy and deep ruby with a pinkish head. Soda-like. Smooth. Sweet and earthy. Big cherries from start to finish, though not very tart or sour. Not bad at all, but I thought it lacked some zing and zeal.

May 14, 2008 2004 bottle from Andrew. I got this 2 or so years ago, and it has done great in the cellar for the past few years. Pours out just like the picture to the left looks. No need to describe that. Smell is sour, sweet, full of cherries, some wood smells too. Pretty fruity for a lambic. Taste is sweet, yet sour but not overly sour. An explosion of cherries not typically found in a lambic. Smooth and easy to drink, was very nice on a hot day here in the south. Good stuff!

Apr 29, 2008 Bottle from Belgian Belly. Deep Rose (can’t find the acute accent on the effing keyboard) pour with a lasting pinky white head. Drunk this pretty young so it’s full on fruit with a hint of lambic menace. Big cherry nose with a sulphuric edge. Likewise with the taste, all fruit and salty sour with a long, long , dry cherry aftertaste. Top Kriekness but next time I want an older fiercer bottle!
