Bottled, corked 375cl (BB 06/2006)
Rose-red hazy color, big creamy pink head, lace. Artificial rasberry aroma. Sour - sugary rasberry flavor. Quite drinkable but earthy notes in this lambic are quite lame.

Tap. A crisp/tart raspberry aroma. Medium red with little head. A strong-sweet-tart raspberry flavor. An enoyable framboise - pretty much what I expected from it.

Tap. Sweet sugary aroma. Medium brown color with little head. Smooth sweet-tart flavor - no bitterness at all. A nice Faro but definitely a sipping beer.

Tap at Mort Subite cafe. A subtle aroma - yeast and citrus. Light yellow and cloudy. Smooth sweet flavor with lemon/lime - tastes like a witbier. Very nice and lighter after drinking heavier lambics.

Light amber coloured with a thin fluffy head; fruity nose (honey, balsamico); quite fizzy; sweetish and flat; only a tinge of Lambic influences can be felt; no long lasting sweet-sour aftertaste. Gueuze for beginners.........

More or less ok kriek but not very complex. (6/4/7/3/13 3.3) Bottled "Original Kriek" 375ml (BB 09/2009). Courtesy of bierkoning, ty Edo! Clear pinky red color, good cherry reddish head, lace. Cherry caramel aroma with light tartness. Light sourness in otherwise sweetish kriek, notes of cherry stone. Mouthfeel is a bit thin. Should be more tart. (7/3/7/3/13 3.3)

375mL bottle, BBD 2004. Upon uncorking, I am greeted with a very relaxed dusty, dry barnyard aroma, with hints of honey, sweat and hay. The light funkiness is quickly passing, however and it turns to a caramelized sugar sweetness, with hints of cider vinegar-like oak notes. Orange-copper color is deeper than I expect for a gueuze. Guess they are pretty serious about the sugar they list as an ingredient. Small, dissipating white head and a pathetic amount of sediment at the bottom of the bottle.

Flavor begins with an oakiness that is sweet and simple, red apples, touch of vinegar. Then it takes a turn for the worse and gets insipidly sweet. This tastes like simple sugar has been added. Refined white table sugar, some caramelized notes, but altogether cloying, simple and little to no tartness on the end. Slightly syrupy, medium body. Stale, tired gueuze flavors are all drowned in sugar. I’m surprised this isnt listed as a Faro. Glad I got to try this though, thanks to Tiggmtl!!

Clear-gold, collapsing small white head, leaving fine lace. Artificial peach nose, the filling of pastry. Sweet fruittaste with a little sourish edge, just enough o make it refreshing; bit bubblegum flavour, and a faint woody finish. Still mainly artificial, I’m afraid. Light body, slightly tart. Not really thàt, bit feminine. At least, it’s refreshing.
