On tap at the Esplanade Bier Markt. Red pour with an off-white head. Nose was acidic and blooming with cherries. Taste took on an odd red-wine quality with a mix of dry vermouth, and plenty of cherries to boot. This was not as well made as I was expecting. Nonetheless, I do love Krieks.

Bottle, from Noel Cuveliers, Abele. Ruby pour with fine just-pink head. Lightly tart cherry jam aroma, angel food cake. Softly tart wooly bite, cherry candy, sweet but not overbearing. I can’t hate beer like this, much as I would like to. It’s not a work of genius, and yes, it’s an insult to the subtle beauty of a proper lambic. But...it’s kinda fun. It’s like the Burger King® of the beer world: not really food, but resembles food in a way that is itself kind of interesting.

not very good at all.. not worth the notes.. my note on the back of my bar coaster simply said this: Pours red, tastes bad.

Sampled from can at Belgian Embassy in DC. Pours a dark red with a pink head. Aroma is cherry. Flavor is sweet, cherry with a touch of tart cherries. It’s good, but I can imagine that it would be impossible to drink more than one at a sitting.

To me , this is a sentimental favourite. It’s sweet flavoursome opening gives way to a sour aftertaste. I would say the tapped version is alot better.

On draught in Antwerp. Pours a clear dark red color, slight white head and lace. Big cherry aroma and flavor, mostly sweet cherry flavor balance, slight late sourness.

Cherry/Raspberry rock-candy aroma, pours lurid red with a pink foamy head that leaves nice lacing. Flavour is a hoot, sour cherry all the way with a slight tapering at the end to a slight sweetness Nice, but certainly not a sessional beer.
