Pours a deep ruby red with a small fizzy white head. Aroma is of sour cherries, light malts and other fruit. Unfortunatly the aroma is very muted. Flavor is cherry, kinda sour, yeast, and rather sweet. Body is a bit too carbonated. Not impressed.

Bottle. Average reddish fizzy head that was mostly diminished. Spare lacing. Aroma was cherry, fruit, citrus and some notes of malt. Light to medium bodied with a soft carbonation. Flavour was balanced acidic and sweet. Ok Kriek

Pours a dark brownish red witha nice head and great lace. Aroma of sour and sweet cherries, very pleasant. Flavour initially rather sour - more like a Flemish Sour Ale - then tapering to a nice dark cherry/yeasty aftertaste. Some bitter notes which don’t quite seem to fit... are they hops, or off-flavours? Thin, puckered body with a warming aftertaste. This is a compelling beer, but the bittering hops seem to clash with the cherries. Very drinkable, but easily improved upon.

250ml bottle. Clear red body with a rather thick, pink head. A sweet fruit juice aroma, not to strong. Flavor is dominating sweet, confectionary cherry and a small dose of acid. Not completely bad, actually drinkable in small amounts if you’re into the world of sweets. One bottle is big enough.

A trade-off between authentic Lambic sharpness/mustiness, and the super clean watery-sweet stuff Mort Subite is pumping out of the factory spigot. Not bad and not great.

Not a lover of this type of beer. Acidic taste of cheeries, quite metallic. Cherry red in appearance with a frothy dirty pink head. Cheery cola flavour, a bit rich.

Nice read colour... looks somewhat like raspberry syrup poured in with club soda. Nice head that is kind of thick. It smells like well, I think everyone here could figure out that it smells like berries. The taste is a little bit sour and tastes like cherries. It is not too sweet and overpowering with the sweetness though. Not too bad.
