Basic lambic. I remember drinking this at a mediocre and over priced Belgian cafe. Not a bad lambic, but not the best.

Latest Rating: Just as good looking as the first rating but the aroma and flavour are not quite as artificial as I remember. I like my lambics a little stronger in character but it’s a good introductory lambic to bring along for newbies and the ladies.
First rated 4/26/2002: 2.8 98% of the bottle pours a clear cherry-rasberry red colour, and mid- pink-red, fine, medium lasting head. A trace of sediment left in bottle. Fruity somewhat artificially sweet aroma. Typical kriek fruity, slightly musty, flavour with moderately well balanced sour-sweet palate and sour-dry refreshing finish. There are better krieks out there. Would get a better overall rating in hotter weather.

Bottle- Dark red in colour with not much of a head. Tart cherry aroma. The flavour is of artificial cherry with a mild tartness and acidity.

Bottled. Ruby red colour, sour cherry aroma, sweet taste. Nothing to write home about but a pleasent drink on a warm day.

Kriek from a can! Shared by Todd at the Carolina gathering. Clear red pour. Smells like a Luden’s cough drop and tastes the same, only sweeter. Candy beer.

Draft. All One Bar, London. Red in appearance and red in aroma and flavor, that is, cherries and strawberries. This reminded me of what Frankenberry cereal would taste like if it were liquid — and cherry. Sweet and fruity in aroma and taste. Bubbly mouthfeel and thin body. I would have preferred more sourness, but if you’re in the mood for a sweet cherry beer with alcohol, this would not be unpleasant.

Bottle. Dark red/brown colour. Lasting pinkish head. Cherry aroma. A bit metallic. Notes of malt. Cherry flavour. A bit sour. Slightly bitter finish. Palate feels slightly greasy.
