Draft @ Tilquin taproom, merci Pierre.
Léger pâle-cuivre, col fin blanc-cassé léger et peu tenace.
Arôme sur un bouquet fruité avec le côté rhubarbe qui reste sur le devant et offre ce délicat bouquet terreux-fleuri, en retrait je note note une fine percée du cassis alors que la framboise, comme en bouche, semble être trop discrète.
Palais reste léger avec un caractère plaisant de la rhubarbe et ce côté terreux-acidulé, le cassis passe en support et quant à la framboise, je ne la trouve pas vraiment. Petite note épicée en fin de bouche.

Draft @ Dynamo.
Couleur léger rosé/pâle, col fin rosé peu tenace. J'avoue avoir été un peu rebuté par l'apparence après la version bouteille de la cerise de Schaerbeek qui offrait ce joli caractère pourpre.
Arôme reste nettement plus axé sur une approche de lambic et meerts avec ce bouquet 'funk' alors que le volet fruité de la kriek est clairement en retrait et se fait plus, voire un peu trop, discret pour moi. Le parfum reste plaisant et délicat.
Cela se retrouve également en bouche avec une approche kriek très fine qui reste en retrait par apport à la base de lambic. Le tout est sec marqué, poussiéreux en fin de bouche, le fruit est là mais sans proposer la complexité d'un premier vieillissement sur fruits. Cela reste compréhensible et le but de cette série, mais je garde cependant souvenir d'autres meerts où le fruité restait plus dominant.

Poured from 750mL bottle (2022-2023 vintage; bb 01/02/2033). Lightly hazed orange with small white head. Nice soft funk with underlying grape skins, nice balance of sharp yet easy drinking, some feint manure notes on the nose.

A hazed rosey Gueuze with a very thin white head. In aroma, sweet mix of ground cherry, light lactic notes, light Brett, horseblanket, Epsom salts, very nice. In mouth, a nice tart mix of raspberry jam, light acidity, horseblanket, Epsom salts, very nice and rich.

Bottle @ SKAAL Sønderborg, shared by Henrik. Pours murky orangeish with small off-white head. Clear aroma of Lambic yeast, with dusty and fruity notes. Dry flavour of wild yeast, with rough and dusty botes amd touches of malt and berries. Dry aftertaste with dusty touches. Decent.

Can from Raynville Superstore. It pours clear pale yellow - gold with a dissipating fizzy white head. The aroma is damp hay, cereal, biscuit, oatcake, zingy, tangy, emon peel, gooseberry, white currant, white grape, touch of white wine vinegar and damp oak. The taste is crisp, dry, snappy, puckering, dry oak, bright acidity, slightly chalky/some minerality, zingy citrus, sherbet, fizzy cola bottles, hint of lactic acidity, gooseberry, white wine, muted funk and hay with a bone dry finale. Average body and moderate, fizzy carbonation. Doesn't have the depth of the oude gueuze, but it's very enjoyable nonetheless. Moreish.
