From tap at Kulminator as Liefmans Naturkriek - apparently the last available keg. Pours murky orange with a diminished pink head. Dry cherry acidic aroma. Light phenolic note. Flavour holds a solid phenolic note to an initial cherry fruity flavour. Almost rodenbach like. Lasting acetone-ish phenolic finish. Fantastic.

Draught@Kulminator. Murky ruby brown colour. Aroma is superbly sour cherries with some hints of nuts. Flavour is dry cherries, nuts and some wooden hints. A very sour and dry thing, but still really refreshing. One of the most mouthdrying beers I have ever had. Marvellous thing!

Draught at Kulminator. Sourish aroma, has a bit of winegum cherry. Seemingly clear deep red colour. Semi-stable, disappearing pink/grey head. Quite sour flavour with some cherry to it. Finishes with a clean citric/lemony cherry aftertaste.

On draught at The Kulminator, Antwerp during LCRBM2 This is just about my favourite drink to have at the end of a session. The sour cherry, the good malt (more so than in the bottle version), just the harmony of the fruit and sourness and alcohol and flavour. Had to finish this to get the Struise Christmas beer on.

Tomato juice to red blood in colour, with no head. Wonderful sour cherries in aroma, like a purée. In mouth, delihtful sour cherries with light acidic notes, very deep smooth bodied, beautiful ale. About 3 yrs old, on tap at Erasmus, kindly offered by the owner. Merci Monsieur!

Tap at Kulminator. Cloudy pink color, big pink head. Intense fruity aroma, lots of cherry, quite tart. Taste is very tart, very fruity. I could drink this stuff over and over again.

Draught at the Kulminator, Antwerp, Belgium Lightly pink, fizzy head with an excellent lace. Fully diminishing head. Murky red body. Even some remainders of the cherries were floating around in our glasses. Nose of sweet, real (i.e. not cherry-syrup) cherries. Moderately acidic, lightly bitter initial flavour. Moderately acidic, long-lasting finish. Medium bodied. Fizzy carbonation. Liefmans, bottle this one in stead of the sweetened version.

The literature first. This beer is NOT the same as the ubiquitous bottled Liefmans kriek - nor the more common draught version of the same. It is a much paler kriek, not blended with the darker young beer. Once the highlight of an Antwerp beerpub, the only place I find it today is in a pub/hotel in Brugge. the sweeter version is NO match at all. Beautiful deep-red colour with cyclamen shine. Slight, pink head. Nose of real sour cherries (the darker kriek is woodier). Taste are real sour cherries again, but with something in the finish of a maraschino-cherry, but with no sweetness at all. The mouthfeel is expressly tart, with an outspoken drying-out effect. Long lasting, dry fruity aftertaste. Yes, they still can do it if pressed hard enough. The oud bruin -notes are missing, but so is thankfully all that superfluous syrupy sweetness.
