Around twenty years old

I drank one of my three bottles of a local Kriek beer, bottles I bought when they were fresh between 1997 and 2000. So this beer was about twenty years old.

It was good. It was no better and no worse for its aging. It's well carbonated; it has a good colour; it's still bright & clear (maybe a bit clearer than when it was young); and the taste has not deteriorated by much, if at all.

On the taste, I remember it back then being a thinly malted sort of beer -- that is, there wasn't a *lot* of beer flavour -- and it still ranks as a thinly malted beer. With a very light cherry flavour.

Not bad at all. Very drinkable after all these years.

I don't know how long I will wait before drinking the other two. Maybe less time this time.
