Draft into a 4 oz taster glass, quick review from notes.
For a "kriek" this was laughably pale gold colored. Thin skim of white foam that didn't amount to much.
Smells like vinegar and acetic acid, no cherries at all.
Just like the majority of their sour ales lately, this is pure acetic acid vinegar and little else. No cherry flavor, no nuance. Thin watery vinegar. And they're trying to sell this as some rare thing, but it's really pretty one dimensional and terrible.
