[Vintage 1992 - sampled 2004] A deep red beer with no head. The aroma is very powerful of cherries, but also with notes of alcohol and fermented fruit. The flavor is very sweet - with lots of cherries, almost artificial, but also notes of dust, but for a kriek not sour enough. I think it is over the top.

This is STILL brewed somewhere FOR Clarysse Fluffy cyclamen head leaving little frilly lace; deep dark ruby beer, hazy. Terribly artificial sweet cherries nose, as some kersenbollen, cherrysweets I used to know when young. It smells sweet even for a long drink or cocktail - let alone a beer... Taste is definitely better. Light but unmistakably sourish edge wedges itself into the syrupy cherry-perfumed mass. Fruity in every aspect. Medium bodied, slick, not unlike cherry-kernel oils. For the sweet teeths amongst us, provided they don’t inhale too much. At the end of its genuine Oudenaarde life, Felix kriek wasn’t any better at Clarysse, but until the early eihties, it was a giant amongst flemish fruitbeers. Sadly, even my cellar’s depleted of the real thing, today. Kulminator,....

Vintage 1975@Kulminator. Leathery aroma, sweet, light berries. Golden red, small floaties. Still quite fruity - cherries in spirits, leathery, nutty. Plenty of sweetness left. Smooth mouthfeel. Light horseblanket exhaling. Wonderfull. (rating from the older bottle) Bottled, vintage 1992 @ Akkurat Quite a bit cherry, citus,wood, a hint of blue cheese. Quite sweet, sugar and fruit Full oily body Sweet exit Bordaux color, no head.

Cherry/brown colour. Pours quite flat, with no head. Sweet & sour aroma witha gentle lactic note and sweet cherries. Palate is very sweet with cherries, faint almond accent and a sugary finish.
