Small rosy rim over fully hazy deep red beer, with all deposit sticking to the bottle. Fresh sour cherries' nose, cherry juice. Very sour, sour cherries with just a point of sweeter undertones, farmyard flavours, but not much else. Very sharp, acidburn, acidthinning. Really natural kriek - BUT, it is more than a tad too sharp and hence unidimensional. There's better around, and more malse lambic might have helped.

Blend of quince lambic with cider (both homemade) from this new kid on the lambic block, from a 75 cl bottle with cork and muselet - once again thanks to tderoeck. Some 'gunsmoke' when opening and foam coming out after a few seconds, but no real gusher. Irregularly shaped, moussy, egg-white, opening but edge-retaining head on a hazy peach blonde beer with pale orangey hue, turning rather murky and deeper brownish-amber-tinged in the very end. Aroma of green apple, both freshly cut and as oxidized Granny Smith peel, quince jam without the sugar, cooking rhubarb, damp hay, withering sorrel, stale lemon juice, bread crust, sweat, green plant stalks, freshly cut thistles. Crisp onset, tart with a lot of malic acid from both the quince and the cider, strong green apple dryness, bit astringent even especially when the malic acid starts to mingle with the lactic acid; minerally carb, supple yet full body. Pleasantly bready 'soil' under ongoing drying lactic and malic sourness, very pronounced green apple and dry cider -effects, quince (if you are familiar with it) remaining unmistakable as well; also a lot of Granny Smith flesh and oxidized peel, merging seamlessly with the dry cider infusion into one 'green-fruity', dry and crisp whole. This spirit is maintained well into the finish, where hayish Brett notes, some old wood and dry hay are added, remaining refreshing, green and crisp till the last drop. Fruity in a tart way, but nowhere agressive; lovely tannic effects too but nowhere overpowering the quince-cider combo. Among all the 'malic' lambics I had so far - and admittedly there aren't many - this is probably the most beautiful one. The combo works, apple cider and quince intertwine perfectly into each other here - this is an 'apple-themed' lambic (assuming quince has a comparable effect to green apple) of great elegance, another testimony to this Boerenerf's surprisingly sudden greatness.

Bottled 17-01-2021. I was curious about these people, so I'm happy I got to try one. Pretty solid Kriek. Nicely funky, bit dry and plenty of wood, but the cherries are clearly up front here. Nothing too sharp, just maybe could be more complex. In time.

🩸🪓”Profondo Rosso” (Quasi Viola) & wit schuim. Kneitertje zuur, volle muil kersen, maar ook iets van lak, bloed en marsepein. Vlezige textuur, stevig bakkie ellende. Mag nog wel wat gefinetuned worden wamijblief. De tandjes. Hanssens lust er pap van.
