Bottle. Pours a cloudy pink orange with large frothy white head that lasts leaving sticky lacing, chunks of cherry floaties. The aroma is strong cherry skin, oak, spice. Medium mouthfeel with strong cherry skin, light funk, oak, jammy, light cinnamon spice, lingering tartness, easy to drink, really enjoyed this one.

Woodshed 2.0. Bottle share courtesy of Dak. It pours with a full up opaque ruby red body with murky grapefruit juice colored hues supporting a white head of foam. The aroma offers up sour vinegar, an acidic note or two and a light degree of berry fruitiness. The taste is just plain tart to begin with and then running into acidity and vinegar mixing with a mild berry fruit and grapefruit like tartness. Nice stuff.

RBSG Bottle. Pours with a bright pink hued body and a medium sized off-white head that slowly fades to the acidity. Aromas are huge and jammy fruits, tons of cherries, noticeable acidity, medium Lost Abbey funk notes, delicate oak nuances. Flavors are hugely tart with strong fruit, medium funk. Surprising amount of bready malt left behind. Light oak tannin, medium carbonation, dry and puckering. Good as expected.

Bottle (didn’t gush, not a drop spilled, shared in 4 LA tulips). Cloudy pink pour with a white head. Light berry and mellow funk aromas. So freakin’ smooth and clean, with raspberry, sour cherry, and mild vinegar notes. Fantastic balance and mouthfeel. Perfect carbonation. This is the best Kriek I have ever had the pleasure of consuming. A true stunner.

Bottle shared at RBSG Grand Tasting, 2012. Peach-salmon-pink color. Huge sour cherry aroma. Very fragrant. A bit of yogurt, though not very funky. Clean. Sweet-and-sour flavor, tons of cherry. Amazing—it’s really lovely. Big cherry, nicely sour.

Bottle shared at the RBSG 2012 Grand Tasting. Hazy orange liquid with whiteish/pinkish head. Awesome, really cherry heavy aroma with nice sourness and some brett. Reminds me of cherry pie. Taste has less cherries but is still nicely tart and complex. Overall, really nice beer.

Sampled this at a sour tasting that Tomme Arthur showed up at out of the blue at. This one poured a light red color with a wispy white head. Aroma had notes of sweet cherries. This one wasn’t exactly sour - but had nice sweet notes that hit the roof of the mouth just perfectly. Nice cherry notes that were a touch tart, but not too tart.

Bottle at Toronado. Pours a clear light red color with a small white head. A woody tart nose with cherries and light sawdust. The flavor is initially full sourness, tart, vanilla wood, later huge cherries, very much like a Kriek lambic, natural and sweet cherries, lingering tail of sour wood. It is actually more acidic and sour than it seems at times, not acidic overall though. A fruity rich sour.
