bitbucket (2026), Kirkland, Washington, USA Feb 11, 2007 Bottle split with after4ever. Pours a hazy reddish brown with off pale pink head. Sour cherry aroma. Tart cherry raspberry taste. Maybe some wood. Dry finish. after4ever (2711), Brier, Washington, USA Feb 11, 2007 Updated: Nov 16, 2007375ml. Thanks, Luiss, even though I can get this here! Great big floral blossom red with pink frothy bubbles towering over the top. On top of them is a humongous tart cherry funky nose--you know this beer’s going to be super tart, even your pleasant expectations of maybe being surprised by the brewer’s art don’t hold up here. Tart is the name of the game as soon as the cork comes out. It’s puckery red fruit in a huge way atop a pleasant medium body with tingly active carb. You get white sugar, fruit sugar, and that tangy citric bite that only wild yeast can give, if that makes sense. THis is a fun beer to drink but I don’t know what I’d serve it with, if anything, and it’s not a real treat to drink by itself. Something of a novelty, even though it’s been around as long as any other style--ultimately, the main thing is that this much sugar and tartness is just not refreshing, and you look for some refreshment from a beer. lgklotet (420), Singapore, Singapore Feb 1, 2007 Bottle at Akkurat. This has pretty much got everything you’d ever want in a kriek, I’ll leave it at that. Fantomas23 (463), Pewaukee, Wisconsin, USA Jan 30, 2007 Ruby red with a Strawberry Quik head. Big nose of cherry sourball, vinegar, dirty sock, oak and red cabbage. And for those thinking all those things aren’t good: think again. Very appetizing lambic, though too metallic. robinvboyer (1419), Sturgeon Falls, Ontario, Canada Jan 26, 2007 Updated: Feb 9, 2007My favorite lambic out there.
