Bottle April 26th, 2011. Poured into a white wine glass right from my cellar at 55 Degrees F. Shared with the GF who LOVES Kriek Lambic.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A &#8211; Nice hiss on the cork pop but not an intense pressure I expected. Poured a 2-finger off-red head with big bubbles that dissipates instantly in my glass. Deep blood red color beer with some nice bubbles in the glass. There\u2019s some slight alcohol fingers on the glass which is surprising for a low ABV beer.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>S &#8211; Gigantic funkiness on first sniff. Lots of tang and tart in that first bit of sniff. The cherries come into the scent soon after followed by some wood and earthy notes that I imagine was passed on from the barrel aging. The tartness feels like it burns my nose hairs it\u2019s so strong.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>T &#8211; Gigantic mouth puckering sour taste turns my tongue upside down. Pretty amazing. The cherry is there but not as intense as expected. There\u2019s a great oak taste on the back of my tongue and cherry \/ oak is left over after swallowing. The sour is so intense so if you\u2019re not in LOVE with sour, this will put you on your butt.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>M &#8211; A big mouth swish gives me 60\/40 bubbles to liquid. Great linger of the cherries and very light bodied.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>O &#8211; Worth $30? I\u2019d say so if you\u2019re a big sour lover. The same bottle costs a lot less in Belgium but then there\u2019s that pesky plane ticket. I think this is a great beer but $10 cheaper would have been nice.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"View 'Drie Fonteinen Schaerbeekse Kriek' on Flickr.com\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/44048128@N00\/7035937637\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7127\/7035937637_3f91425238_z.jpg?resize=480%2C640&#038;ssl=1\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Drie Fonteinen Schaerbeekse Kriek\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"View 'Drie Fonteinen Schaerbeekse Kriek' on Flickr.com\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/44048128@N00\/6889842658\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7041\/6889842658_9b70b66467_z.jpg?resize=480%2C640&#038;ssl=1\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Drie Fonteinen Schaerbeekse Kriek\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u00a0 4.2 AROMA 9\/10 APPEARANCE 5\/5 TASTE 7\/10 PALATE 4\/5 OVERALL 17\/20 adamjackson\u00a0(192) &#8211; Canaan, USA &#8211; APR&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","apple_news_api_created_at":"2018-12-07T16:00:37Z","apple_news_api_id":"25567e6b-dd88-401e-b4e8-8b52c66ec3a2","apple_news_api_modified_at":"2018-12-07T16:00:40Z","apple_news_api_revision":"AAAAAAAAAAD\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/w==","apple_news_api_share_url":"https:\/\/apple.news\/AJVZ-a92IQB606ItSxm7Dog","apple_news_cover_media_provider":"image","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_cover_video_id":0,"apple_news_cover_video_url":"","apple_news_cover_embedwebvideo_url":"","apple_news_is_hidden":"","apple_news_is_paid":"","apple_news_is_preview":"","apple_news_is_sponsored":"","apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":[],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_custom_appearance":"","csco_disable_excerpt_posts_layout":false,"csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"_jetpack_hide_featured_image":false,"_jetpack_featured_image_duplicate_dismissed":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[160],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-97","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-reviews","cs-entry","cs-video-wrap"],"apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pb3IC4-1z","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":951,"url":"https:\/\/adamchandler.me\/blog\/2012\/10\/28\/review-cantillon-kriek\/","url_meta":{"origin":97,"position":0},"title":"\u2605 Review: Cantillon Kriek","author":"Adam Chandler","date":"October 28, 2012","format":false,"excerpt":"\u00a0 4.1 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0AROMA\u00a09\/10\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0APPEARANCE\u00a04\/5\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0TASTE\u00a06\/10\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0PALATE\u00a04\/5\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0OVERALL\u00a018\/20 adamjackson\u00a0(766)\u00a0- Canaan, New Hampshire, USA - JUN 4, 2012 Bottled may 27th 2011A \u2013 Quarter Finger head light red.
