The aroma is sweet with slight notes of cherries. The color is a clear red-brown and it has a light red fine but collapsing head. The flavor is of sour cherries with strong notes of wood and a underlying sourness, that brings out the saliva. An OK kriek, that places itself between the sweet ones and the sour ones.

The aroma is rather sour with notes of wood and metal. The color is a slightly hazy orange and it has a beutiful lasting white head. The flavor is a goor sour one with strong notes of lemon, and milder notes of wood and grapegfruit. A really good geuze.

Cloudy orange beige color, medium head. Aroma is sweet spicy, cinnamon i think. Taste is sweet, toffee, spicy sharp. Sharp palate. Very weird brew.

OK, my tastebuds have evolved over the past 9 months: A hazy orange beer with a huge collapsing head. The aroma is sour, with notes of wood and grapefruit. And the flavor is lovely sour with notes of grapefruit. ----------------- An unclear orange beer with a fine but fast disappearing head. The aroma is sour and metallic. The flavor is a sour geueze flavor. A good geueze but not great. Too sour for my tastebuds. = 5/3/5/3/11

[Bottled at Stockholm Beer Festival] A beutiful red beer with a fast disappearing pink head. The aroma is sweet with strong cherry notes. The flavor is sour with light cherry notes - a nice flavor but not fantastic. A good kriek - but I've had them better.

4.4.2002 vintage. Lactic acid with a sweet citric and perfumed note in the background. Low creamy head, nice cloudy amber, light pearling carbonation. Very dry with a medium tartness. Quickly fading flowery aftertaste. Extremely pleasant to drink.

(indeterminate age) Quite clear red with amber shine. Pink foam speckled with little brown pinspots. Nose of cherries, wet wood, autumn shrubbery, coal gas, sulphur. Very sour immediate taste, vying with vague lactic, woody, apple, preserved-jam notes. Very tart, harsh finish with lemonjuice on the lips. Acid burn and refreshing. Long, tart, bone-dry aftertaste. I like it. A lot. But I can imagine people being more conservatively disposed towards their upper digestive tracts might not really appreciate this. This is for the diehards.

Gushing to thick, irregular creamy head. Dull orange with greenish shine, cold haze. Very malty, quite some caramel, grain and faint hops. Slight bitterish on top of very sweet base, as from malt syrup or extract. Sugar too. Wheat is undetectable. Quite chewy mouthfeel, on the edge of sticky. Not much aftertaste. Dull. Even brewed at the Proefbrouwerij, I'd wish they'd stick to their lambic. Oh well, it's for the restaurant.

Haxy yellow color. Sparkling at the tongue. Tart aroma, oaky. Quite typical gueuze taste also, but not acidic or sharp. Full flavors, very good balanced. Long lingering palate. This is a very good gueuze.

Bottled. Hazy golden colour. Acidic lemony aroma. Clean maltiness. Firm, drinkable and refreshing with balanced acidity. Perhaps less complex than Girardin and Cantillon, but still a great beer.
