Cantillon Kriek 100% Lambic
On Tap Belgian Beer Festival 2011 Pizza Port Carlsbad, CA A murky, dark ruby without much carbonation. Extremely small head. Looks a touch thick without the bubbling carbonation. A bright, punching sour aroma, perhaps the most sour aroma I've experienced! There's some sweet cherry and earth as well, but the tartness and sour is like a kick to the face--and is literally making the sides of my throat clench and my mouth water. Wow! A biting sourness, lots of yeast funk, and a sweet cherry accent underneath it all. The sourness is just huge in this one, nearly drowning out most anything else--though it's still delicious, in small sips. Medium bodied though it seems a bit still and heavy. I wish mine had a bit more carbonation. An absolute treat of a kriek--so glad I got to try this one!
