Bottled 25cl, alc. 3.2% (BB 11/2005)
Deep, clear "kriek" red, beautiful big red head, whip cream thick, lace. Fresh cherry flavor (lacking normal sourness of krieks), slightly metallic. Medium-bodied. Very refreshing cherry flavor with nice tart finish. Not much sweetness, but not very sour either. An excellent kriek and a positive suprise - at least as good as "normal" Jacobins Kriek.

Ridicously (unless for the brewer) high yellow-peach head, leaving lace; orange-gold beer. Bit soapy nose, garden herbs (chervil), gassy. Surprisingly fruity (citrussy, or peach/nectarine), obviously from the yeast, as yeasty components, like meaty notes, abund in the beer. Tastes very young. Light to medium bodied. Filterered, but the feel is quite yeast)oriented, creamy. Aftertaste is sweet. I’m not impressed. Too neutral-sweet by half. This seems the retaking of an abandonned name.

Dirty brown, creamy head, leaving beautiful fine lace; great red-brown, clear ale.Gorgeous nose of lactic acid, fruity esters and wood. Very subtle fruity taste, like freshly picked blueberries, wood, and soft lactic taste, as a yoghurt with "fruits of the forest". More woody-lactic notes in the aftertaste; tart, chewy, medium-bodied, slightly slick. Very nice oud bruin, probably among the best in the style for the blended ones.

Bright red, small cherry head, lots of nice red lace. Sour cherry aroma. Sweet cherry flavor with sour carbonated mouthfeel with a pleasant sweetish aftertaste. Close to Lindemans Kriek.

Rosy-orange, pink grapefruit colour, pinkish head, lacey. Fruity nose, pink grapefruit-like, but also like something a frivolous bar would choose to odour the loos with... Very strange, sweet fruit flavour, ending in a drier, but very perfumed finish. Flavour is neither grapefruit, neither passionfruit - something like a designers’ exotic fruit. Cube formed for grip, and accordingly tasting, if you catch my drift. Apart from the restrained dryness at the finish, light bodied, fruitjuice-like. Not the worst of this new aberrational wave - neither the best. Artificial.

Hazy, dirty yellow-brown beer; dirty cream-coloured head, good fine lace. Nose with banana, exotic fruit as guarana (passion fruit), lactic acid, sour-sweet, quite artificial however, Brett, but not in the best possible way. Dry, quite woody taste and again exotic fruit taste. All very positive sounding, but ruined by an artificial & cloying sweet underlying flavour. Some acidity, but again fruit acids, and not naturally tasting. Oh well. Finish is again woody. Cloying thread of sweetness in a further light-bodied beer. The old lambic from Brussels hasn’t helped a lot. Too bad. Would be unrefutably better without this sweetness.

A red beer with a small collapsing pink head. The aroma is sweet with notes of cherries. The flavor is also sweet with strong flavors of cherries, but only hints of sourness, before a slightly dry finish sets in.

Tart, fruity aroma evident upon the pour. Rich, deep red body topped with a thin white head. Surprisingly thin body; the flavor starts tart, sour, and fruity (cherry and a touch of apple) but has no staying power. Otherwise has a decent mouthfeel, but I was recently spoiled by De Dolle Oerbier Reserva, and this doesn't come close to matching the brilliance of that brew.
