No head; rosy-pale ochre beer. Very nice, perfumey, delicate, floral with fruity notes - peach rather than cherry. Bit smokey flavour, cherryskins, fruitacids jumble. Slightly tart, bit acidburn, medium carbonation, acidthinning. Very special, rewarding kriek!

Bottle shared at the Moeder Lambic cellar session 2015 thanks to Fux. Pours cloudy amber brown with a small off white head. Aroma of tart cherries, dusty funk, spicy notes and cinnamon. Flavour is light sweet and moderate sour. Above medium bodied with soft carbonation. Overall a great beer, not worth the value of course, it’s a US sour that’s as good as the Belgian classics. Impressive, and very pleased to have tried it.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy pink orange with large frothy white head that lasts leaving sticky lacing, chunks of cherry floaties. The aroma is strong cherry skin, oak, spice. Medium mouthfeel with strong cherry skin, light funk, oak, jammy, light cinnamon spice, lingering tartness, easy to drink, really enjoyed this one.

Bottle (didn’t gush, not a drop spilled, shared in 4 LA tulips). Cloudy pink pour with a white head. Light berry and mellow funk aromas. So freakin’ smooth and clean, with raspberry, sour cherry, and mild vinegar notes. Fantastic balance and mouthfeel. Perfect carbonation. This is the best Kriek I have ever had the pleasure of consuming. A true stunner.

Bottle shared at RBSG Grand Tasting, 2012. Peach-salmon-pink color. Huge sour cherry aroma. Very fragrant. A bit of yogurt, though not very funky. Clean. Sweet-and-sour flavor, tons of cherry. Amazing—it’s really lovely. Big cherry, nicely sour.

Bottle shared at the RBSG 2012 Grand Tasting. Hazy orange liquid with whiteish/pinkish head. Awesome, really cherry heavy aroma with nice sourness and some brett. Reminds me of cherry pie. Taste has less cherries but is still nicely tart and complex. Overall, really nice beer.
