A 0.375 l bottle that poured lightly hazy ruby body with a medium sized pinkish head. Fine sour aroma, apples, vinegar, maybe only a hint of cherries. Flavor was correspondingly sour, similar to oude gueuze, a strong sourness was short living although left a long finish of lambic flavors. Sour cherry also showed up actually only in the finish along with a green apple notes. A little bit less intense than its "base", with atypically small amount of fruitiness, it was still a very pleasant brew.

Huge thanks heavy! Shared with him & some others. Ruby red body with a tiny white head. Dry, classic lambic aroma, sour, dry, funk, hay. No fruit in the aroma. Similar in the taste, sour, dry, funky, some hay, with a fruity touch that ends up more like a feeling than a taste, whatever flavors there were were long eaten up I guess. Blind, I doubt most people would identify it as a fruit lambic. Light plastic, some clove & pepper. Eh, this is a solid lambic, but falls short compared to the superb Oude Gueuze.

Bottle. Nose is funky, farmyard, hint of wee, cherry, cheese, fantastic. Taste is cherry, farmyard, sour, cheese, more rich dark cherry, vinegar, balsamic, oak, wood lemon juice, leather, cranberry. Mouthfeel is flat, and light. This an outstanding fruit lambic; no sugar fruit juice here, rather a refreshing, sour and dry beer which has a lovely dark cherry character.

Hanssens Artisinal’s Oude Kriek 6% Pouring an orange rose with a sour cherry, lightly oaky and earthy funkiness in the aroma. Smells like it’ll be interesting. Oaky, black pepper funk and ascerbic cherries with a light acidity on a bright drinkable body. I like it, it’s edgy enough without getting too extreme plus it is reasonably priced.

0.375 l bottle from ’belgiuminabox’, best before August 2027. Clear, deep red, no head. Sourish-fruity, slightly funky aroma of sour cherries, redcurrant, sweat, bitter almond and oak. Sourish-fruity, slightly funky taste of sour cherries, redcurrant, oak, a bit of varnish and elderberry, followed by a short, very tart, dry finish. Thin to medium body, spritzy and astringent mouthfeel, no carbonation. Due to the lack of any carbonation this feels a bit bland. Taste is still very intense and sour, especially in the finish, but it lacks a final kick. A bit of carbonation would have eased up the acidity as well.
