Dire Fonteinen Oude Kriek

An old spontaneously fermented cherry beer is today offering












Appearance:

Dark red almost like Ribena, no head to speak off

Aroma:

Typically lambic: wet hay with an acidity and a touch of cherries unsurprisingly

Taste:

Very sour, as expected with an almond like overtone and touch of cherry in the back ground and a pleasant hint of carbonation. The finish is long sour and a touch dry but with a nuttyness as well

Overall:

A good kriek sour but not over the top with an expected nutty flavour. While lambic are not my favourite this is a good one which if I fancy a kriek this will be the one I would go for so far.

8.0 /10
