Name – Cantillon Kriek Lambic
Country – Belgium
Type – Lambic

Appearance – Poured a ruby red like color with a pink head.  It looks a lot like birch beer or cherry soda.

Smell – I could smell this the moment I pull the cork out.  Very sour and acidic cherries with some hints of vinegar.

Taste – Super tart cherry flavor that is also very acidic.  There is some vinegar notes in there but they aren’t overboard.  It blends really nicely with the other sour flavors.

I kept seeing this bottle on the shelves and I kept saying to myself, “I’ll buy it sometime soon.”  Finally I did.  This 2008 bottle was everything I thought it would be.  Sour, tart, acidic, cherry lambic.  If you love lambics or sours in general and you haven’t had this, do yourself a favor and pick it up if you can.  You won’t be disappointed.

Overall Grade – A
