Bottle. Musty malt and light grapefruit aroma. Cloudy dark amber color with giant, quick collapsing head. Moderately dry, tart musty grapefruit flavor with light slightest hint of sweetness at the end. Long lasting tart aftertaste. This beer is a work of art - exquisitely blended. Has the typical gueuze tart, musty flavor without being overwhelming. Many gueuzes are hard on my stomach and I can only take so much but this one is much easier to drink without being sweet.

bottle from 1998 at Carlsens kvarter: Red with pinky white head. Very Sour. Live carbonation. cherry of course. Vinous. A lot more abstract and complexed than your average Kriek! Exciting!

(Draught at Akkurat, Stockholm 28 Apr) Colour is red, I’d probably call it raspberry red, hazy. Nose is, well, kind of strange (after reading sayravais’s notes, with a recognizing smile, I must agree he has a point, but I din’t find it all that bad). Slight notes of rotten eggs and fresh manure are evident (one of my friends thought it was more like what you find in used diapers, while another didn’t find anything suspicious at all), but, however, with an underlying acidic and harsh raspberry character, like mashed, unsweetened raspberries. Taste is (a lot better than the smell) acidic and harsh with the same character of mashed, unsweetened raspberries. Very dry finish. Nice balance (in the taste that is). Tried it in 2005 as well, but that was absolutely brilliant, a completely different brew. So I would probably have to rerate this sometime.

(Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm. 5,3% abv) Colour is deep red, like a claret, with foamy head. Nose is slightly acidic and soapy with a nice cherry character. Taste is slightly acidic, with dark cherries and an nutty character from the stones. Full cherry taste. This is actually brilliant.

Brown, low blanket head. Aroma has Molassis, horseblanket, and a citric fruityness. Sets in with minerally dustyness, unpleasant chemical notes and horseblanket, a sugary sweet caramel note follows all the way through. Falls a bit flat after that - strangely unharmonic. Sparkly mouthfeel. Nutty finish.
