750mL bottle from miketd, wow and thank you. Its a very dark Kriek with dark pink and purple hues and a nice strong head. No clarity whatsoever. The special thing about this Kriek is its very earthy and pity. Seems like the pits take a lot here. Makes it nicely nutty and musky. The sourness is there obviously and the acidity is pretty subdued for an authentic kriek. 8/4/8/4/17
03/2004 bottle pours with a pink quickly fading head and leaves no trace of a lacing. Color is a dark cherry red with some translucent edges. Aroma is very tart dark cherries with very acidic tartness on the nose. Taste is extremely dry and a lot of the cherry taste has faded. Acidity and lemon is rampant. Some tart cherry can be picked up in the aftertaste. 9/4/8/3/16.
375mL bottle @ ’t Brugs Beertje poured into a De Cam tumbler on 5/20/08.

Hazy red with small short lasting head. Sour aroma with narual cherries and barnyardy notes. Sour fruity flavor with typical brett notes, cherries and loads of tart character. Very nice and refreshing.

[i] Bottle from Hop Duvel, Gent, Belgium, had this 28-12-07 [/i] Poured looking a deep raspberry colour ony a tiny rim of bubbles for a head. Wonderful slightly aged sourness on the nose, and very much cherry. The cherry bite is there on first sip but it’s certainly not harsh, in fact its a softer acidic bite than I expected, but the sour cherry flavours are really stunning, a wonderful beer.

37.5 cL bottle. Pours muddy red with a diminished pink head. Mild fruity, sharp sulphoris and slight woody aroma. Starts sour citric before a soft fruity cherry flavour appears with a slight sweetness and takes the flavour back into an acidic then citric phase. Ends citric with a mild acidity, no fruity flavours left.

Bottled 375 ml, alc. 6.5% (vintage 2005)
Deep red, cherry-like color, no head, lively carbonation. Cellary, sour aroma with hints of barnyard. Sour, cherry fruity flavor with special wry thing (cranberry) - it’s like half metal half licorice. Long dry, sour aftertaste. Nice tart and fruity lambic. I think that 2 years has not yet changed this one much.

Bottle (375ml): Big pinkish foam, hazy reddish coloured, stronger sourish-cellary nose with a solid cherry aroma; extremely sour (presumably pH 1.5...) and tart flavour, light bodied; full Lambic character in the fruity-sour and tart finish. A real traditional Kriek, heartburn guaranteed.............

6.5%, bottled (2005 vintage). Sampled at Helsinki Beer Festival (Thanks to Tranquillity & his girlfriend for this one!). Hazy murky dark red colour with red/pink head, which goes away fast. Aroma is cherries, some vinegar and even other red berries. Flavour is quite the same. Richer than many other Krieks I have had. Excellent thing!

37.5cl bottle from Dorstvlegel, Antwerp. Probably the most lively bottle I’ve ever opened. The cork bruised my lip as it exploded after I took the wire casing off. "Bang!" indeed Kook. Cloudy blood red with pinkish head. Sour, funk and some cherry. Probably the most lambieky of krieks I’ve had. Love the aroma. Cherry isn’t overpowering. Still has the lemon of a lambic. Will definitely have another
