Draught Purple to cardinal red, bright, under a small cyclamen head. Ripe sour cherries with an almondy touch, strongly suggesting the stones. Stewed cherries from small (Gorsemse) cherries. Ripe sour cherries logically returning in the mouth, with a strange 'wooly', grainy aftertaste. Wood. Ulta dry, tart, sour but yet mild again, fruit lending some body. Just great! Many thanks to Willem, visit and all!

Cask, just yr+ Pale chromate yellow beer, transparant bubbles. Floral, springblossoms, Lindenblossom. Estery, lemony, bond dry. Traces of the worts in (yellow) stonefruit and pineapple. Long dry-out effect. Very nice young lambic with marvelous potential. Big thanks to Willem!

Cask 4 yr old Mindblowing delicate yet strong vinous nose, almost more wine than lambic, with mild woody touches. Wood, straw, tart yet mals in soft cidery and ditto vinous notes. Ultra dry. Despite the relative high acidity, it is mals in the best way imaginable. Big thanks to Willem!

Bottle. Color: Hazy golden, white head. A lot of tiny carbonation bubbles going up in the glass. Aroma: Tart, fruity, hints of lemon some and rural funk. Taste: Over moderate tartness, vinegar hints, fruity gooseberry, some lime, orange, tropical fruit and green apple. Subtle rural funk and hints of oak wood. Medium body, below average carbonation. Ok.

0.375 l bottle from 'Het Huis van de Geuze', bottled in July 2024. Hazy, deep ruby with a medium large, fluffy, quickly diminishing, pinkish white head. Sweetish, sourish, rather fruity and slightly funky aroma of sour cherry, blackcurrant, horse blanket, vinegar, oak and some bitter almond. Slightly sweet, quite sour, rather fruity and slightly funky taste of sour cherry, blackcurrant, elderberry, lemon, horse blanket, vinegar, oak and light bitter almond, followed by a medium long, fairly tart, slightly woody-dry and a little vinous finish. Medium body, quite astringent and rather effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Rather acidic but also refreshing and elegant Kriek with intense cherry flavours.

Not bad. Quite a bit of salty, twangy sweat, juicy lemon, bit of funk, throat burn, vanilla, pale oak. Dash of salt throughout. Tart, acidic finish. Not too complex. Enjoyable.

Pours unclear warm amberblonde. Medium, yet stable, pillowy white head. Scent is brett, cheesy, funk. Taste is very cheesy, isovaleric acid feast. Brett and funk, wood. Only medium on acidity. Needs some refinement...

Magnificent purple beer under a dwindling cyclamen head. Intense horseblanket and ripe sour cherries, and even some (unripe) blackberries. Lactic acid, sharpish vinous nose. Intense kriek flavour, also as a sour cherry reduction with... red wine? Again a flavour as blackberries, brambles; Feels rather well-bodied despite the acids; very well-carbonated, fruitslick. Superb gem of a kriek, completely off the beaten track. I guess it are the dark malts that lend it an absolutely unseen depth.

Thick dark-cream head over brown, almost black beer. "Warm" lambic aromas, horseblanket, immortelles, sour orange, ever so slightly (tomato cream) soupy, sweet cherries, spices. Wood, dark, unfermentable sugars, again sweet cherries, hint @ roast. Farmyard, wet wood. Finish is indeed sweet and smoked. Seems to have more 'bite' than a regular gueuze; no apparent acidthinning if acidburn present; very well-carbonated. Disconcerting. Quite good, but one is put on the wrong foot at every turn.

Smooth. Some vanilla, white grape, sherbet, mild acidity, pale bread, tangerine. Mild pale qoody dryness. Quite drinkable. Balanced and well drinkable.
