shp555 (1677), Atlanta, Georgia, USA Apr 13, 2009 Pours a deep cherry red color with a pink head. Aroma is sugar coated cherries. Flavor is some malt, sugar coated cherries, and a bitter spicy finish. harrisoni (6703), Ashford, Kent, England Mar 20, 2009 From a can from an all night shop in Antwerp shared in my hotel room with Mesandsim. Orangey red colour. Considerably worse than the Chapeau we had at the festival earlier. Really bad. Artificial fruit aroma, mouthfeel is awful. Finish has more bad fruit.
MennoO (112), Haarlem, Netherlands Feb 21, 2009 bottle, nice red with good reddish head. A tad bit acid for it to be nice. other krieks are way better, and don’t have a stomache acid after taste... not that it’s terrible..., just a lot less compared to others
BoBoChamp (1334), Gent, Belgium Feb 5, 2009 25cl, from De Hopduvel Gent, not complex Kriek, yet refreshing, balanced, little sweet, clear, good head, nothing special goozen (1061), Leiden, Netherlands Jan 17, 2009 Bottle 0,25ltr: Reddish coloured commercial kriek, with good thirstquenching capabilities.
TURDFERGUSON (1594), Carrboro, North Carolina, USA Jan 7, 2009 Can! shared by oldstylecubsfan. Thanks Todd! This beer smells and tastes like a ludens cherry cough drop. Delish! Not tart or sour at all, but not terribly cloyingly sweet either. Pretty darn good if you ask me. emacgee (1859), Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA Dec 31, 2008 Thanks OldStyleCubFan for sharing. Poured out of a can (!). Color is a translucent pink with a one finger frothy pink head. The nose is sweet, shows cherry and candy, some almond and cherry pit. The flavor is more sweet than I would expect, cherry and cherry skins, almond character from the pits comes through as well. Lacks the tartness I wants. JCB (1713), Durham, North Carolina, USA Dec 30, 2008 Shared at the Carolina Crew tasting by OldStyleCubFan - thanks, Todd! Nice to have something aluminum aged for once. Barrels are for suckas. Pretty handsome pour, a nice, well carbonated kriek. But lozenge lozenge lozenge, and a thinnish body to boot.
