Bottle: Poured a clear deep red color lambic with a generous pink head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of tart cherries is quite intense with some sour notes and some light funky notes. Taste is also dominated by intense tart cherries notes with some light red vinegar notes and a sour finish with limited acidity. Body is quite full with great carbonation. I really enjoyed the amount of cherries in there with the balanced level of acidity and sourness but I would have enjoyed this even more of the funky barnyard notes of the lambic would have come forward a bit more.

2006 bottle at DHVL. It pours very deep red, with no head whatsoever. The nose is fresh cherry, chamomile, Savlon, subtle sourness and Parma Violets. The taste is tart, juicy cherry, red grape, moderate acidity, lip-smacking sourness through and through, rich fruitiness, tart lemon and Parma Violets. Good balance and massive flavour. Pretty damn sour and delicious. Easily one of the best oude krieks I’ve had!

2005 Vintage - 375 ml. sampled @ Kulminator - hazy raspberry coloured, some white lacing - nose is going towards cherry more than kriek, tart but with a fruit sweet edge, nice sourness underneath - taste is good, going fruitier side rather than the more thinned and sour side, some softer fruits, light cellar, light vinegar, light wood - lovely very light syrup body - De Cam is good - this is good stuff - should revisit this one - wonder if aging upped this one a bit

Ruby red colour, pink head. Aroma of cherry, cherry pips, marsipan, light sour, loads of cherry. Quite sour flavour, balanced acidic. Light vinigar, cherry, fruity acids, youghurt and marsipan. Finish quite sour, unsweetened cherry yoghurt.
Really nice, the cherries held up nicely despite the somewhat older age.
(From 37.5cL bottle @ Kor, Retie, Belgium)

375 mL bottle @ De Heeren van Liedekercke. Pours dark reddish plum appearance with no head. Rich cherry syrup-like, a bit funky, light barnyard, richly tart nose. Very tart, rich berry, cherry, almost cherry skin, mild tannin, a touch woody, incredibly tart flavor. Fun to drink. (3.8)
2005 bottle, thanks to doodler. Tons of bright, juicy cherry. Not syrup-like at all. Really funky. Full of cobwebs. My goodness. This is full of black cherries. Sweet oak. Very puckering. Petes pretty fucken good. (4.2)

375 ml bottle from March 2004, so 8 years old. Pours a clear reddish hue but later pours make it hazy. A medium white head. A rich nose of cherries, wood and sourness. A really nice flavor: initially very sour and woody, but as your palate adjusts the cherries become huge, even a hint of vanilla. Woody. Very good, clean and refreshing.

Bottle thanks to a good trader! Pours a cloudy ruby red with a white head that dissipates nearly completely. Aroma is full of tart cherries with a nice earthiness and a good amount acid. Flavor has nice amount of cherry with a hint of sweetness but mainly tart wit good amount of acid and funk.

Bottle in Rome during The Stag Do. Dry, lots of cherries. Tart, some sting. Sour. Moderately sweet. Good stuff. (4.1)
Bottle shared at a CBC Clerkenwell tasting. Pours deep, cloudy red with a foamy white head. Good sweat and funk in the nose, some jammy fruits. Light sweet flavor with big tang, juicy raspberry and cherry notes. Great balance. Light to medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Clean and tangy to finish. Great one. (4.2)
