Best before 2030, from Amstein or the grain d'Orges. Opening this bottle, today, at night, after the visit of Fred. This one was for me too sour, average, dry cereal, a bit fruity, sour, mineral bitterness, a bit rough at the palate.

Aus der Flasche (brewed 2010/bottled 2013/bbe 2024) im 2025-07 getrunken. Dieses Lambik zeigt sich mit einer wunderschönen rubin Farbe im Glas. Die Schaumkrone fällt schnell in sich zusammen was aber bei dem Alter kein Wunder ist. Das Kriek hier ist von den Aromen voll durchgereift und zeigt ein besonderes Krisch-Aroma ähnlich wie Amarena Kirschen. Nach hinten zeigt sich auch deutlich die Eichenfasslagerung durch ein Tannin-Einfluss. Recht sauer aber auch sehr schön gereift - ein gutes Kriek.

Bottle from Beergium. Aroma is tart red fruits, sour cherry, wood, barnyard funk, with a hefty touch of vinegar. Flavour is intensely puckering sour with a hint of sweetness and a dry finish. Body is medium. An intensely sour Oude Kriek that lacks some balance and refined complexity compared to the ’cream of the crop’ Kriekenlambiek.

Bottle from 2013. Extreme sour and fruity beginning. Deep fresh sour cherries, intense sourness, horse blanket, smooth sour, deep intense sour in the end. Lots of great fresh cherries, sour and deep fruity. Long and intense aftertaste. Fascinating!!

Bottle. This one is 6.7% ABV. Very deep red with a brief pink head. Brooding reduced cherry aroma with almonds, some old lemon. Sour and moderately acidic in a way that clears away the cherry after a while. Oaky at the end with some red wine vinegar. Broodingly intense.
