Bottle at Taratata. Pours a dark purple with small pinkish head that lasts. The aroma is cherry skin, funk, floral, wood. Slick body, funky, wood, cherry, berry, nice tartness, jammy, enjoyed this.

Rated at Teron Partypool. Sour, intense with cherries, some tartness, farmyardy yeastiness and funky earthiness, hints of floral notes. Intense.

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.
