November 7, 2005 - #121 of 365

Brewer: Cantillon (Brussels, Belgium)
Beer: Kriek Lambic
Style: Kriek Lambic
abv: 5%

Background: Bottle from the store. $15 for 750 mL.

Appearance: Pours clear red with a small pink head.

Aroma: Tart and fruity, with brine, funk, and a little earthiness.

Flavor: Very tart, but not in the same way as their Framboise (the Rose de Gambrinus). This is a tartness separate from the very subtle cherry fruitiness. Lip-puckering. There is some funk in the middle, and it finishes with a funky, salt-water dryness.

Notes: Not as good as the Rose de Gambrinus, but decent.

Rating: 3.6 out of 5
