Bottle shared thanks to Puttetjes. Clear ruby with light pink head. Light lactic, balsamico, sweet/sour cherries, soft malts and sugar, light hay and yoghurt. Over medium sweet and sour with light bitterness. Medium bodied. You can tell it’s very sour which they toned down with lots of sugar. I actually quite like it.

Tap at Cap Hop. Pours sort of cherry color with a transient near-white head. Aroma is tart cherry. Med body. Flavor is tart cherry. Really tart, but there’s some fruit sugar or something moderating it a little bit. Mouth smacking. Much better than many so-called krieks. Delicious. Recommended.

Bottle from Gulating Brennåsen. Clear, deep red body with a big, creamy pale pink head. Aroma is cherry souse with hint of almond and some acidity. Flavor is basically sweet and sour cherry with hint of almond as in aroma. Medium body and cherry aftertaste. It’s a bit strange in flavor as it has some kind of balance between the sweet and slightly artificial at one side and woody acidic authentic flavor at the other side, still it doesn't feel like balanced at all. It’s just sweet and sour – actually too sweet by the end of the bottle.

330ml bottle from Vanuxeem, as ’Kriek des Jacobins’. Pours deep red, small white head. Aroma of sharp kriek cherries, lambic funk. Taste is sharp, zippy with a distinctive cherry sweetness and some vinous red wine notes reminiscent of cuvee des jacobins. Not bad.

From old tasting notes. Deep ruby red color. Small white head. Intensely sweet cherry aroma. Bittersweet cherry fruit flavor has a tangy, yeasty flavor. Nicely done.
