It’s not the worst beer in the world, but it leaves a lot to be desired. It reminds Raul of certain nights in his 20’s; nights that he’s not proud of, but nights where he just decided to “settle.” And let me tell you one thing, I’m still trying to forget the water Buffalo.

330ml. bottle in Vientiane, Laos. Pours a deep red with a minimal head. Cherry aroma quite pronounced, sweet. Strong cherry taste, sharp, sour, maybe a little too much. A decent cherry lambic but proportions of sweetness and cherry flavouring a little unsubtle.

It pours a clear, ruby red body. Small pink head with tiny amount of lacing.
It has a sweet aroma of fermented cherries.
The taste is sweet and sour, with cherries, tart and some wheat in the background. The finish is dry. The mouthfeel is medium bodied; sour and dry, with average carbonation.
A very enjoyable kriek.

From the bottle, it pours a reddish color with a tinge of brown and a small pink head that soon diminishes to nothing. In the nose, it is sweet cherry. In the mouth, it is the same.

From cervezas belgas, Almuñecar. In Teku glass. At lunch, with rice soup, then yellow merluza. Fine, but the lidemans extra kriek had a more delicious sweetness and here alcohol and sourness are a bit noticeable

Nice sweet cherry fruit right away. In * a slightly sour Oromo presents. However for the most part it stay sweet. Cloudy with a red Hue that carries some Browns. Smallish darker head. More tart in the flavor. With even some puckering but without astringency. Even with that still carries sweet cherry flavor. A little bigger then light but smaller than moderate. This bottle being nearly 5 years old really carries little indication of oxidation. I'm surprised how sweet it remains. Pleasing and enjoyable.

Dark ruby hazy appearance. Clean, mild funk and cherry aroma. Moderate tartness. Sweet red and black cherries. Moderate funk. Well balanced. Super dry feel.
