Dispensed from bag in a box. It pours bright red, with no head. The nose is juicy tart cherry, farmyard, acidic and some TCP. The taste is tart cherry, strawberry, red grape, vinious acidic and tart lemon, with a tart finish. Light-medium body and pretty much no carbonation. Great balance. Not particularly complex, but just massively drinkable. I could drink this all day.

15 cl. draft sample from a plastic keg @ Bruges Beer Festival 2012: magnificent clear, bright pomegranate red, no head save for a handful of bubbles that are supposed to pass for a head with lambic, smell & taste is pretty mush straight up kriek juice, slightly tart, finish going a touch of lambic acidity, touch funkiness, sourness is just perfect for me, fruity with a real “kriek” fruitiness to it, hint delicious lactic, easy drinkable no unwanted carbonation

Lambic in a box thanks to cquiroga. Pours with a hazed red hue and minimal signs of carbonation. Aroma is strong of cherries, acid, funk, leather, and lactic yogurt. Flavors haze some vinegar notes, cherries, vanilla, almonds, funk, horse and lactic acid. Medium acidity. Thin body with close to no carbonation. Red wine and jammy. Quite pleasant.

From bag-in-the-box at Het Goudblommeke in Papier. Deep crimson, lovely, with a few bubbles. Ripe cherries, yogurt, vanilla, nut nose. Slight lactic and citric tartness, but only slight. Light sourness, nice cherry flavor, yogurt, vanilla, ,emon, a bit of dusty blanket. Very drinkable, but not so sweet. Completely flat. Very nice. So drinkable...

Cask @ Fleur de Papier Plié, Bruxelles. Couleur rougeâtre, plate avec qcq bulles blanches venant percer la surface. Arôme est plein de savoureuses cerises donnant une touche pas trop aigre pour ce lambic. Une touche fleurie se dégage. En bouche, pas grand chose à redire, plein de cerise, palais aigre-doux, facile à boire et encore meilleur avec ce petit fût. Carbonation est minime le tout se mariant parfaitement avec les pralines de Girardin Kriek qui étaient disponible en dégustation dans cet estaminet.

Wässriger Kirschantrunk mit spürbaren Fehlaromen, die etwas muffig, sonst herb und dunkel grasig sind (unpassend). Gefällt mir wenig. /6/7/6//6

From the barrel at Bier Circus in Brussels. Pours a hazy, bright ruby red with some spitty white head. Nose is mild, certainly because of the cask, sweet, candy, light funk, floral. Flavor is sweet, cherries, candy, only light tart, lemon rind, light malt. Medium bodied, sweet finish. Really easy to drink. Lacks the complexity of other krieks but it was pleasant to drink.

7th March 2010. Hazy red beer - a little mauve tint to it. No head. Just a little carbonation. Fresh cherry - morello. Gets a tiny bit sour before the dry finish. Simple stuff but slips down easy!

Tap at WOSF’10. Sweet medicinal cherry grape aroma. Clear violet color with thin head. Sweet lightly tart cherry malt flavor. Mild acidity. Smooth, easy drinking lambic but not much funk.
