Brouwerij Lindemans, Oude Kriek Cuveé René

Bottled 20.3.14 ("2013 Vintage"), drank 11.12.15. Another pop, no gush. Sweet nose, sharp cherry, small nut. As with the gueuze, very sharp indeed. Zero sweetness. Fruit/citric/lemon. Minor fustiness/barnyard/funk up front, then almost immediately overpowered by the acidity. Some small woodiness towards the end. Very astringent. Again, fantastic price at sub £6 for a 750ml. My first glass was cellar temperature, the 2nd out of the fridge, I actually think the chill suited it better.
