Dark ruby color, small tanned head. Sour aroma of apples and cherries. Sour, carbonated, quite full bodied for the style. Tart cherry flavor, some balsamico - long sourish aftertaste. This is grapefruit-like sour. Gimme my kriek lambic!

Red ruby color, small creamy tanned head. Aroma of leather jacket and cherries, some sourness. Sour, tart, quite watery mouthfeel. Carbonated, but flat in the finish. Acidy like one could expect but not so much, quite easy to drink and simple. Beginner’s flemish sour ale.

(Bottle 25 cl) Beautiful appearance, almost more red than brown. Very tart but not bitter with some quite pronounced metallic notes. Quite light-bodied and extremely quenching. 200893 & 100594

(Bottle 25 cl) Strange brews they are the sophisticated Rodenbachs, but very nice experiences when you get used to them. But after a tour and a tasting at Rodenbach I certainly did. Light brownish with a reddish tint, very beautiful indeed. Quite acidic, perhaps a tiny hint of fruit sugars and not that much hops. A very complex beer - pity it’s retired. 060693

(Bottle 25 cl) Recalling the old Rodenbach commercial "It’s wine" this BEER actually reminds me a lot of red wine in both nose and flavour. Filtered, dark reddish beer. Strong acidic vinegar-like notes without much bitterness. Even for Belgians this is a unique beer - but one you grow to appreciate. At least I did. Try this with a paperbag of shrimps at the beach in De Panne. Yummy. 160593 & 240695

(bottle) Dark red colour with a small frothy off-white head. Fruity (plums) acidic aroma with oak(leaves and swords) and a touch of malts. Sour but gentle flavour. The taste is vinous, fruity and well rounded with a slight malty note. Only light to medium bodied but with a dry lasting finish with some cherry tones. A very drinkable everyday Sour Ale.

(bottle) Dark & hazy red with a small red creamy head. Very strong aroma of sour cherries. The taste is also quite sour with cherries from the start to the finish. Not too sweet and therefore refreshing, but not to be compared with “real” Kriek Sour Ales from Belgium as for example Liefmans Kriek.

Bottle. Tart cherry aroma. Crimson red color with small head. Lighter tart cherry flavor with a slight sour finish. Nice and not too tart - seems a nice intro to the style.

Sherry-like, sourish aroma. Brown colour. Very acidic flavour. Spicy sherry aftertaste. Refreshing but a bit too much for me.

Bottled. Hazy reddish brown colour, mediumsized white foamy head. Sour cherry aroma with hints of caramel malt and yeast. Also some quite wooden notes. Bitter, mouthdrying very sharp cherry flavour, along with very sour wooden notes. Also slight yeast and earth in it. Leaves a sticky palate.
