Bottle 37.5cl, from 2018. Pours a dark ruby red, no head. Aroma is very intense sour cherries, refreshing and fruity, light spices, vinous, deep with some funk and some umami. Light oak and vanilla. Light to medium body. Flavour is very tart and sour, a real punch of acidity. But underneath is a beautifully complex sour cherry character, rich if not sweet, with a bite and some funk, umami, oak. Amazing stuff.

75cl bottle, vintage December 2016, 6% alcohol. Beautiful ruby color, with basically no head. Aroma of sour cherries, still quite clear after more than 4 years. Lactic acid. Taste of sour cherries, amazing, wood, vinous. Definitely acid, wonderful kriek. Hanssens once again was great.

T: lemon sour, woody, raspberries, funky, bit puckering, light oily mouthfeel, no carbonation, 4 years old and quite nice yet too sour to be fully enjoyable for me.
