(Bottle) Pours slightly hazy straw with small white head. Subtle lemony citrus aroma. Light body, medium carbonation. Initially citrus and light biscuity malt, quickly replaced by flinty hoppy bitterness. A bit odd but goes down ok.

(Bottle) Pours a clear mid brown with red hints and small off-white head. Subtle aroma with notes of toast and maybe hints of nuts and dark toffee. Medium body with medium carbonation. Maybe a hint of fruit in the foretaste; burnt toffee / very dark roast malt notes quickly emerge and give a long burnt bitter finish. Not at all what I expect for a Kriek - couldn’t detect the cherries and it’s quite a bitter beer.

Cellar clean out session Pt Deux. Hazy amber beer, patchy cream colour head. Palate is light, mildly dry and has reasonable fine carbonation. Dry but sweetish malts, a little toffee. Ripe fruits. Cherry? Went through on stilts I think. Dry finish. A dull dull beer and very lame.
