Jul 26, 2008 11.2 oz bottle, best by 8/14/09. Pours a clear deep red with a fizzy rose head that retains well and leaves some big bubbled lacing.
The aroma is acidic and tart cherries, wood, yeast and some sweet candy sugar.
The flavor is sweet acidic cherries with a strong tart sour tang to it, a bit of funky yeast and wood show up as well. The mouthfeel is medium bodied and syrupy with a bit of sharp carbonation.
Overall, a fun sour ale - one of the better ones I’ve had. The sweetness and tartness are a bit strong, but I liked this quite a bit.

Jul 25, 2008 Sold as Echt Kriekenbier, Bottle BB 18-10-08: not the usual cherry wheat beer I expected but more of a light sour ale, pours pink with adequate head and lacing, Taste is mildly sour with a modest cherry flavor and a funky lacto/oak aged combo in the finish, very easy drinking beer with very mild hopping
