Apr 27, 2004 Deep garnet in color.
Not much head to it, and a few old yeast clumpies.
Nose is oddly in balance for a lambic--must, yeast and tart cherry versus malt and hay.
Body is oily and the taste is again oddly indifferent for what should be an aggressive style.

Jan 3, 2004 Something different. I like it when I think of it as a cherry drink as opposed to thinking it is a beer. There is something a little jarring about the mix of flavours which I am guessing a better quality kriek may overcome? It does look very nice in a flute with a solid white head, persistent lacing and thick red colour. It has an unusual astringency (from the cherries?) which is a nice change.

Oct 10, 2009 A 25cl bottle,
Pours a dark red color with a light pink color head that quickly go down. (therefor artificial flavors).
Aroma are sweet and fruity, but somewhat an artificial aroma. Flavors are sweet and fruity, with a hint of oak flavor. Light to drink but too sweet and the taste of chery sirup is present.
The 37.5cl cork bottle is better.

Dec 9, 2004 This one kinda reminded me of cherry flavored soda. It pours to a deep reddish color with a thin pink-white head. Smells like cherries, as expected. It has only a slight tartness from the cherries, no real lactic acid sourness is detectable.
It seems like a subdued lambic/ fruit beer, but would probably be a good introduction to the style for the less adventurous.

May 31, 2008 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.
