Gushing to irregular light-tan head, fed by fulminatingly carbonated red-brown beer. Pickles nose, weird spices; bit of sour brown German bread (sourdough) and milkchocolate. Malty nose with a (too) sourish character. Lactic, sweetish-sour main taste. Touches of wood, chocolate and dark(er) malts. Again sourdough bread. Rather creamy MF, if at the same time spritzily carbonated texture with real acidity. Light to medium bodied. Hardly more convincing that the Blondje, certainly after the gushing...

Small white head, fed by lively carbonated, hazy yellow-orange beer. End of bottle solid yeast. Sourish nose, pickles; cucumbelike greenmalt. Smells... unripe. Outspoken sourish flavour, sour grain, sourmash; Pedio or lacto. Again: carbonated liquid pickles. Very spritzy, as if overcarbonated - or is it the infection? Light body, much lighter than the Ameye version. Well...

Pours deep mahogany into a trappist glass. Off-white head crackles and recedes to hug rim leaving trailing sheets. Sour summer and pit fruit aromas. Full and sour/sweet upfront with summer fruit and dried fruit turning to a hot and dry prune finish.

Pretty cloudy yellow beer, solid creamy white head, pretty stable. Aroma: very metallic, some malts, bit of basement. Taste: pretty sour, as in beer gone bad. Little bitter. This beer HAS gone bad. Again. This is the last time I'm ever having a Gaverhopke beer. All of their beers I had were infected and that's pretty lame.

Extrem milder Antrunk, trocken, kaum gewürzig. Man fragt sich hier, wo das Kriek sein soll, das Bier erinenrt in keinem Teil daran. Etwas holzig, kaum aromatisch und minimal süß. /5/7/5//5

Little cloudy brown beer with lots of residue floating around. Creamy light beige head, unstable, little adhesive. Aroma: sour cherries, pastry and unbaked dough, dried raisins and red currants, alcohol. MF: good carbon, medium body. Taste: sour apples, cherries, fruity in general, some earthiness as well. Aftertaste: some spices, more sourness, apple skin. Once again an infected beer from Gaverhopke. It's starting to get really boring.

330 ml bottle. Hazy amber body with a thin beige head. Aroma is mild, sweet fruity with an acidic hint. Flavor is almost like aroma, mild malty, fruity and both sweet and slightly acidic. Medium body. Rather nice, might be a bit unusually in flavors, still quite enjoyable.

Cloudy brown beer with purple glare. Off-white crackling head, falls back to a few mm of creamy light beige foam. Aroma: tart apples, green apple skin, a bit fruity, some spices (pepper, ginger). MF: good carbon, light to medium body. Taste: sour apples (pretty predictable from the smell), lemony, a bit of caramel, slightly sweet touch, some lactobacillus. Aftertaste: turning pretty tart, lemony, but also some wood tones and some hop or bitter spices. On warming up, chocolate and tangerine is also detected. Well, apparently the infections of the beer are their "style", and in this beer it works (sort of) but I'm still uncertain whether to like it or not.

Small white head over fine-carbonated, hazy yellow beer. Vegetable smell again, but different, like pickles, or better: asparagus, bit flowery. Very flowery taste, (elder)flowerwine, fine honeyish. Just a touch of vegetable: like fine green beans, green asparagus; citrus. Sweetish pale malts rounding off. Well-carbonated, near Champenoise, nearly medium bodied. No doubt a leap forwards, also a lot more drinkable than the 8% version, even when that one didn’t betray its ABV.
