Jul 27, 2004 Bottle from Tesco, Loudwater, Bucks.. 375ml. I see Belle-Vue fruit beers being in the middle of the scale, on one hand you have the super sweet almost alcopops of Jacobins and Timmermans, then you have the complex sour ones from Cantillon, Belle Vue seem to hold the middle ground with the likes of Mort Subite. This is not over sweet, but is not exactly beer. With a little more sugar this could qualify as an alcopop but in this state its just an average kriek. Ok.

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.

Oct 26, 2009 Had this as Belle Vue Kriek Classique. Starts quite sweet, very fruity, but also very dry from the beginning till the end. Turns more and more sourish. Fruityness goes to the background. Average!

Jun 19, 2007 Bottle sampled. Pours red with a light red head. Aroma of fermented cherries, tart, and sweet. The flavor is sweet, fermented tart cherries, slight oak flavor. Not bad.

Oct 21, 2002 2001 VERSION: High carbonation. Not as fruit-filled (tasted against 5 other krieks). Somewhat bland, even in the nose. bottom of the 5 tasted. There are better krieks (see my other ratings).

Mar 23, 2005 Poured from the bottle into proper glass. Ruby red colour with full head. Aroma is yeasty compared to the Framboise, and taste is more lambic-like.

Jul 29, 2002 If you find Lindemans too sweet, try this instead. Beautiful sight in the glass with its deep reddish body and plentiful foam that looks like strawberry mousse. Cherry (no kidding) is strong and dominant in the aroma but passes over the tastebuds a little more quietly. Spritzy carbonated palate has a tartness that helps fight off the cherries.

Sep 3, 2005 Best of the Belle-Vue products. Way too sweet with a strongly medicinal false cherry flavor...but the lively carbonation pulled it out of the fire for me.
