Muddy blond color, poor head. Excellent Lambic. Should I say more? There is some apple fruitness in the taste; astringent. One straight, pure, lovely Lambic.

37.5 cl bottle Dark red with brownish shine; huge, fine bubbled pink head with fine lilac lace. Wet dog, woody and faint fruity nose, getting more fruity and syrupy with time. Restrained fruity taste. Sweet, but not too overtly artificial. Woody notes, and again this "wet dog" - this time flavourwise. It IS a bit meaty-estery. Cherrydrops finish. Medium bodied, slight slickness, finishes a bit cloying and fizzy, giving it a metallic compound. A few of the "artisans" brew much worse. It has no Brett character, no sourness, no lively fresh fruit. It is sweet, but not exaggeratedly so, it is not synthetic. It’s just lame. And the kriekenlambics from the pipes at Henegouwenkaai were so good, once...

Bottled. Dark red, smal pink head. Rich balsamic cherry aroma with some candy and a hint of acidity. Very lemonady and simple. Traditional kriek it is not, but seen as lemonade it has it’s advantages.

Bottled. Pours odd pink-brown. Decently sour lambic taste, but still kind of sweet. Picks up a little cork. Kind of ordinary and syrupy.

Bottle Clear, deep red body. Pinkish fizzy head. Mostly diminishing. earthy, Lightly cherry (not kriek) aroma. Lightly sweet flavour. Not that overwelming sweet, but the flavour isn’t interesting at all, very flat indeed.

Bottle. Slightly nauseating aroma of cherries. Deep red colour. Very sweet flavour of cherries. Aftertaste is also sweet. Mouthfeel is interesting. Like liquid candy. Too sweet for me.

Ruby color. Quite simple; fruity, sweet, a bit artificial. A soft drink.

Caged and corked Bottle Pours a clear redish copper color with just a wisp of a white head and the slightest hint of lacing. Aroma is of tart raspberries. Delicious actually. cant wait to taste it......should have quiit while I was ahead. Flavor is not so much raspberry but bitter, dry woody flavors as well. Tastes more like a raspbery "fizzie" was dropped into a beer that needed some help. Dissapointing. Carbonation is quite soft and the aftertaste is like cardboard.

Cloudy orange color, hardly any head. Aroma is full, horseblanket, quite tart, bit fruity. Nice balance of sweet and sour taste, tart but still very soft. Bit sticky palate. So, they actually are able to make a decent gueuze...

Bottle - Aroma of slightly sour apples not unlike a cider. Dark tan color. Sweet-tart flavor with slight hint of apples again but with a rather unpleasant metallic aftertaste (fades as beer warms). A nicely complex beer but a less tart gueuze.
