37.5 cL bottle. Pours dark reddish with huge pink head. Mild almondish dry cherry aroma. Sweet cherry flavoured with a mild malty note and slight metallic. Smooth and sweet cherry flavoured into the finish. Nice and easy kriek.

Bottle. Cherry aroma. Cherry red in colour.Flavour of cherries. Rich beer but again a very good standard fruit beer. What I want from a fruit beer, plenty of flavour from the fruit and rich. Lovely.
