Since Kortemark lies 125 km at least from the Zenne river, this surely isn’t brewed there. But where then? Kobbegem (Mort Subite) seems to be the obvious answer Beautiful pomegranate colour, totally clear and very carbonated; pink, collapsing high head. Awful flavoured chewing-gum nose, artificial, chemical, off-putting. Do I have to taste this? OK, here we go: sweet, faint fruity and slightly artificial "cherry" flavouring. Ends rather tart, but not sourish. Initial taste however is sweet and cloying, sticky. After the initial carbonation the beer falls flat. Some people seem to like the near psychedelic plastic coating on the bottle. I don’t. It even doesn’t prevent skunking, as it says itself. Problem is, mezcal, or anything would better this taste. Even cherries.

A very lively beer, that blew the top of when opened. The color is a hazy red amber with a light brown huge head. The aroma is surprisingly sour - very nice - with clear notes of black currant, but also lemon. The flavor is sweet from the black currant, but on a quite sour, very fresh background, other notes is of lemon, grapefruit, and hints of wood.

An amber beer with a small head. The aroma is sour with notes of grapes and brown sugar and so is the flavor.

Bright amber colour. Aroma as expected - horseblanket and sugar. Palate is quite tart, with hints of caramel. Brilliant balance as the sugar cuts through the lambic notes (as opposed to their regular Gueuze, which is vice versa). Awesome faro, which the sarcastic might say stems from Keersmaeker’s extensive experience at adding sugar to lambic.

Tap at the Mort Subite Cafe in Brussels. This is a beautiful red colored beer with huge with head. Aroma is mostly sweet with some very subtle touch of malt. Taste is very sweet with a nice touch of oak at the end. The taste is somewhat similar to the kriek. Carbonation is good and body is thin which makes it a very refreshing beer to sip during a hot summer day. Overall, probably one of the best Mort Subite product that I had the chance to taste.

(draught of course)Beautiful hazy cherry-red; no head. Nose of speculoos! And some sweet cherries. Good, sweet, again speculoos-y kriek. With a finish that is just the true sour-cherry bite I want. Great. Dry, fruity, good body. An excellent cherrylambic. Start selling this to the public, morons!
