Bottle dated best before 2032.

Pours reddish purple with a massive head of pink. Plenty of retention but not much lace. Jammy cherries in the nose. Light bodied with a crisp mouthfeel. Tart cherries on the palate with a drying bitterness. Finishes quite tart with lingering ripe cherries.

Pours an iced tea/light brown color; quick off white head leaves a thin collar, no cap and no lacing; ok clarity. Sour cherry nose. Sour cherries, oak, almond and faint vinegar; no funk. Light body, minimal carbonation; watery and flat. Overall, drinks like a flat cherry cola; a nice tasting cherry ale, but pretty boring as a lambic; good for the brewery tic, but disappointing otherwise.

Pours a murky brown cherry ruby. Off white head with the slightest pink hue.

Cherry pie filling and some light funk. Has a little cough syrup flavor. Very sweet. Minimal tartness on the back end.

Light bodied. Fairly clean. Finishes with fruit.

Not the best example of a kriek, but very easy to drink. Just to sweet, syrupy, fruity for me. Reminds me a bit of a flanders oude bruin that isn't very sour.

A: Dark ruby purple-red.

S: Tart cherries. Very little must/funk character coming through.

T: Sweet cherries with very little tartness. Minimal tannin astringency on the finish. Pretty one sided taste.

M: Medium-light bodied due to the residual sugar. The finish is slightly dry. Carbonation could be a bit more effervescent, but that is just personal preference.

O: It is not a bad beer, but it's not great neither. It is just too sweet for my taste. I am glad i tried it, however, at $9.00/375ml bottle I'm a little disappointed.
