Bottle pretty standard 3F kriek, except the head is quite fizzy and doesn't last. Lovely cherry and funk aroma. No honey. On the sour side. Good.

Bottle at home. Assemblage 45 s16/17. Ruby red with some thin head. Massive cherry 🍒 fills the room. Sweet and sour, fresh cherries, not the overcooked kind. Some sweet and some unripe, yet rich and juicy. Goodeberries and marzipan. Little sharp sting and some fondant sweet marzipan notes straight underneath, followed by pure fruitjuice and a light funky lambic finishing note. Pretty damn good. Much better than the last bottle of 3f oude kriek I tried (which was more toward cooked cherry and blood iron with raging sharp acidity — and yet still good and enjoyable). Drinks like a daydream.

Bottle thanks to Kanne. Pours hazy red, almost still, no head. Notes of vibrant cherry juice, pits, almondy, lightly 3F funky but pretty straight up, a little sulphuric on the nose in the beginning but quickly settles for a nice, balanced kriek. Excited to see how this will develop.
