Clear blond colour with lasting head. Has a clean and crisp taste. Malty with obvious spicy Belgian yeast. A bit plain but inoffensive.

33cl bottle at home (13 II 2021), as Hippo Kriek. An atmost pink coloured foam upon a crystal clear ruby red liquid. The body even shows as a gloomy clear red wine, grenadine red maybe. Interesting but unnatural appearance. The nose is very dirty with some sewer hints, wet wood, stable, and lots of faint flavours of red fruit. It has a happy lambic and yeasty spirit to it. The taste is a true trump card, with light sour and light sweet balance which is just perfect. Also in the balance are malt flavours, little sour berries - perhaps redcurrants - and few tiny red candy sweets. The overall mouthfeel has lots of rose hip tea, and a very non-typical sourness. The warm finish hints at the alcohol, and has a great herbal and stinging nettles ending.

Bottle. Unclear yellow body with floaters under a big white head. Rather mild aroma of pale malt, Belgium yeast, ginger and spices. Taste is mild malt, yeast but strong on the ginger and spices in general. Medium body and ginger aftertaste. Not great, but a decent ginger ale.

Backlog January 2010. Unclear ale yellow golden body under a creamy white head. Aroma is fruity and spicy like salvia. Taste is sweet but refreshing, spicy like aroma and hint of citric fruit. Medium body and same aftertaste. Feels a bit unbalanced at the first sips (small sample) but giving it a bit time to settle it gets more balanced, an interesting take on the style.

Backlog January 2010. Pale golden body under a nice, creamy white head. Not very elegant in aroma, feels like white sugar and herbs. Taste is a bit better, but still too sweet with pale malt, spices and white sugar and a hint of candy. Medium body and same sweet candy finish.
