The owner of De Rare Vos in Schepdaal had closed for the day, but was friendly enough to fill my litre swing top bottle with this magic stuff. Ruby red color. Cherry and almond aroma. Sweetish cherry flavor with notes of cherry pits, almond and wood. No sugary sweetness, just the sweetness of the cherry fruit, with just a dash of lemon added. As I said, magic stuff! Cask @ De Rare Vos. Clear cherry red with reddish foam. Cherry, almonds and wood in the aroma. Cherry sweet flavor with some almonds and wood. Just a hint of sourness. A marvel of balance.

Bag-in-Box at Arrogant Sour 2019.
Deep rub body, with a small, frothy, light pink head.
Aroma of sour cherries, leather, overripe fruits, moderate funk.
Tastes less sour and leathery, with more juicy cherries.
Medium, slick mouthfeel, with a low carbonation. Finishes dry, wooden, leathery, vinous, with sour cherries, funk, some overripe fruits.
Tasty. Very interesting, with deep, sourish cherry notes and an almost vinous character. Flat and quaffable. Enjoyed this a lot, very characterful Kriek. Score: 8 / 4 / 8 / 4 / 16

0,25l from tap at De Heeren. Redish clear color, small white head. Smells of some light funk, very light cherries, light marzipan. Nice subtle smell. Medium body, light carbonation, slick mouthfeel. Tastes earthy, marzipan, lightly sirupy, citric. Finishes lightly sweet and sour with notes of marzipan, sirup and earthy notes. Pretty decent one, not super complex

15 July 2018. At 'In de Verzekering tegen de Grote Dorst', Eizeringen. Solo tasting.
Pours hazy, dark ruby red, with a lasting, thin, bubbly, pink head. Strong aroma of sour cherry, cherry stones, unripe strawberry, wood, red wine, wild yeast, faint lactic acid. It tastes medium funky sour, notes of brett & sour cherry, and light to medium fruity sweet, like sweet cherry juice & red wine, a bit 'yoghurty'; already becoming dry and woody. Dry, tart finish, as of cherry stones, hint of wood, astringent even with red wine tannins; lingering cherry taste. Medium body, slick texture, soft to flat carbonation. Balanced & tasty, great 'wild' stuff.

Draft at Grote Dorst. Pours mostly clear blood red with a bubbly, pink head. Nice lightly tart, jammy cherry in the nose. Light sweet flavour with mellow acidity, more tart and jammy cherry, a little mineral dryness, hints of wood. Light bodied with soft carbonation. Dry finish with more tart cherry, some seedy bitterness, a little woody note. Great stuff.

Draft at Verzekering. Pours clear dark ruby. Aroma is sour cherry with stone and zest, some dirt and dust. Body is medium, softly sour and tart, but mostly cherry sweet, simple and easy to drink, yet rather round already. Flat. Good.

At La Fleur en Papier Doré, Brussels. Dark red with a minimal head. Soft and easy to drink with cherries and some funk. Rather sweet and with a juicy mouthfeel. Not that sour.
