(on draught at Belgian Beer Café Belle Vue, Kiev, Ukraine) Cherry red. Light pink head. Cherry compot aroma, with notes of vanilla. Sourish flavor that overpowers the cherry feel. Some alchol presence.

bottle. Sweet aroma, but the flavour isn’t sweet. Quite hoppy and slightly bitter, combined with fruity flavours of cherries. Hoppy and dry finish.

Bottle. Pours a deep sparkling ruby-pink with a large somewhat-diminishing foamy pinkish head. Decent sour cherry aroma, a little wine-like. Tart cherry flavour along with some oak and lights hop in the finish -- not cloying at all. Slightly more carbonated then I like. Medium bodied. This is pretty good and makes for a pleasant change of pace every now and then.

Can bought in Brussels. Very commercial and soda pop-like kriek. It does not make you feel your stomac acid rising or your teeth fillings fall out, but it is boring and uninventive, a pale echo of a real kriek.

Bottle and cork labelled 25 and caged. This lambic formed a medium sized ivory head that was frothy with fine-small sized bubbles that mostly diminished. The body was uncarbonated and somewhat hazy with a reddish brown hue. The nose was fruity, sweet and cherries. The flavor was sweet, a little acidic, sour, tart, tangy and cherries. The mouthfeel was tingly and this was a medium bodied lambic.

Pours a reddish brown mix with a whitish red head. The smell is of black or maraschino cherries. The taste is a little tart and strongly reminescent of cherries but is not as potent as I was hoping. Finishes well with slight tartness but seemed to be lacking an edge.

Cherryade beer which is pleasant to drink, but is pushing the point of beer.

Calandro’s Supermarket, Baton Rouge, La. 375 ml bottle. Pours a murky orangeish, brown with a bit of a cranberry tint to it - little to no head. Aroma has a hint of musty cheese, and some sour cherries. Flavor does not have much of that sour acidic taste and mouthfeel that I desire when I drink a lambic. Detect some sour cheries, but very muted. Finishes with a metallic clink. Dissapointed to say the least.
