Sour, fruity, tart. Intense fresh red cherries, florals, some earthy nuttiness. Medium acidity, quite strong, lacking funk but otherwise very nice.

Small dirty-pink rim over fully dark red to purple beer. Cherry nose, if restrained and bit closed, still full-fruity and yet intense; bit musky, red berries. Taste of cherries however is fully intense, with flavours of cherryskins, concentrated (real) cherryjuice. Fresh green garden herbs, flowers and wood. Finish flashes a hint of blood/iron. Warming up, bit almondy. Almost chewy despite the thinning. Tart, lipsmacking acidity and acidburn. Amazing kriek.

Short-lived, bright pink head, fast gone over opaque, deep-dark red beer. Intense ripe cherries' nose - both kriek and kers. Slight acidity suggested. Cherryskins, heated I "krieken op sap" /I. Sharp acidic cherry flavour, explosive upon tasting, hints at speculoosherbs (=cinnamon, pepper, allspice, ginger, nutmeg, cardamom,..). Warming up, the acidity increases. Sharp, tart, dry-out effect, ultra dry with acidthinning etc. Again one that is really sharp - but the fruitflavour is truly grasping. Great one, Evert!

No head to speak of; fully hazy peach-coloured beer. Peach, lambic, lightly spicy, something raw egg-like. Sharp fruity flavours and lactic acid. Again a bit spicy. Gets quite acidic and tart. Stonefruit, unripe. Lipsmacking acidity, dry-out effect, acidthinning. Too harsh, IMHO. It's a bit... Scandinavian in this instance.
