The bottle opens with a flying cork, a loud bang and an angry wife. Cherry aroma, some oak and just a bit dusty. Nice mix between a cherry sweetness and some sourness with all the characteristics of a real kriek. Lemon, cherry pits, dust. Nice and relatively easy going traditional kriek. Good, but with some room for improvement.

From a small sample shared by vinivini at Eric the Red in Moscow. Pours clear red with a pink-tinged head. Aroma is sour cherry, funky notes. Taste is moderate sourness, natural cherry juice, almonds. A beautiful thing.

From bottle at BXL Beer Fest, bottled C31-2018.
Dark ruby body, with a medium, frothy, pink head.
Aroma with lots of smooth, sweet, a bit sour cherries, moderate wood, moderate funk.
Tastes similar, with the cherries slightly more sour.
Medium, slick mouthfeel, with a quite fizz carbonation.
Finishes smooth, moderate dry, a bit wooden, moderate sour, with lots of lingering cherries.

Tasty. Really beautiful cherry notes throughout, with just enough funk and wood for a good depth. Lovely Kriek, one of my favourite De Cams so far.

Score: 8 / 4 / 8 / 4 / 16
