Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 8 | Texture - 7 | Overall - 7.5
Pink head, receding over veiled dark ruby to terra cotta beer; fine shards of lace. Sweet cherries, cherrysyrup, almonds, marzipan. Seems to be very sweet. In the mouth a more natural cherryflavour, if again with almond flavouring. Vanilly, cherrysweets. Bit slick, more than usual for a kriekenlambic. Good carbonation. A tad disappointing; I had expected more from a Lambiek Fabriek kriek, but the perfumey VBDCK Kaishaku is overpowering.

Small if persistent just off-white rim over muddy purplish redbrown beer. Acids (lactic/acetic), a sour cherry aroma, sour banana (if that makes sense), other grains, lots of fruity esters. More of the same grain, Oud (cherry)Bruin in the best way. Sweetish-sour, fruity flavours and a lot of oak. Acidthinning and (light) -burn, yet quite (fruitlike)slick, reasonable carbonation (certainly after 5 years of barreling!). Wow! Only: this tasts to me as Oud Bruin, all Dubbele Gersten impressions so far where substantially different, and I cannot deem which is closer to the historical style. But anyway, Johan/ABC, please give us much more of this!!

Small off-white head, soon reduced to rim over faintly veiled pale yellow-golden beer. Bit fake citrus, and definitely pear. Bit of chewing gum, fruitdrops. Apple,-, pearjuice, but all quite modestly. To make the circle round, indeed a citrussy sweet-sourish surrounding thanks to the yuzu. Very slick, not very heavy bodied. Good carbonation although it finishes less spritzy. Amusing. A good childrens' drink, if alcoholized. Txs to Stef!

The brewery calls it a Triple IPA. There is no reason that we want to know better here Shortlived beige-cream head over foxy metallic amber beer. Sweetish, nutty, nectarine, honeycookies. Sweetish yet resiny flavour (also a quite resiny sticky feel). Half-dried grapes, even almost dates. Backthroat piney resin, if subdued. Chewy, oily, even ultra oily feel? Good carbonation, if stifled by the maltbill. Alcoholwarmth. A triple IPA of 12.5% ABV... no cold feet in Kiwiland! Many thanks to Joren and Daniel!

White head soon reduced to rim. Fully hazy pineapplejuice-like beer. Asafoetida, hopoils/resins. Citruspeel, unripe exotic fruit (the thiols?). Light bitterness, again quite fruity, citrus(peel) in particular. Finish, however, tends to sweet lemon fruitcandies. Very slick-oily, good carbonation. At least medium bodied, and some working of the oats. Very good NEIPA.
