Bottle Deep, red body with a lightly pink, creamy head. Ok lace. Cherry aroma: quite sweet and dense (sirupy). Moderately sweet, lightly sweet flavour, quite sirupy. Not quite well balanced.

[Bottled at Akkurat, Stockholm] Deep hazily ruby. Fresh aroma of cherries of near schaerbeekse quality. Too sweet with rich cherry flavour. There’s plenty of almonds and glue as weell, and the acidity cannot balance the sweetness. The aroma is lovely, but after that it takes a wrong turn.

(Bottle 37,5 cl) Beautiful dark, red colour with a (surprisingly) retentive pinkish head. Very strong cherry notes in the nose and tjroughout the beer. Subdued acidity. Very succesful compromise between a classical kriek and the very commercial, sweetened krieks. 190698

Dark-deep burgundy with foxy shine. Bathsoap-pink head, thick and lasting (!). Breath-taking onslaught of cherry-gums, like liquified candyshop-storage. As a boy of six, one might be enamoured. Some fruitiness, in the far background. Taste: sweet. Candy. And an added 'civilised' acidity. Mouthfeel is watery and empty. Some lemony thing at the base of the tongue keeps hanging on. God, how can they do it? And there's even worse around. For the explanation about Dekoninck, please see the gueuze under the same name.
