A lovely looking brew with a nice head and a beautiful cherry aroma. First sip is a bit strange - unless you subsist on fruity beers - but it settles down nicely and a bit of sourness comes forth. Sweetness disappears and it leaves a nice aftertaste.

Very sweet for a kriek. Good as an introduction beer for the style - popular with girls (compared to other lambic)

Colour of muddy shiraz and pours with a big Creamola Foam head. Sour cherries and cloves in the aroma. Smooth-bodied and sweet at the front and middle, with a big sour cherry finish. Thinner than most lambics. It has a poppy, lemonade-like texture. Some alcoholic strength in the middle but little depth. An easy drinker, sweet but a tad bland. (Bottle)

If i were just to go on taste and not the fact that its supposed ot be beer, ide say its excellent, but ide much rather have a real beer.

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.

Bottle. Berry aroma, apple taste with a dry sherry finish. Dark red colour, lovely foam. A bit artificial, though.

Pours deep red, slight rosey white head. Very VERY sweet as you can imagine. Great fruity taste, packed with all sorts of red fruit tastes. A bit oakey too. Hotel Ibis, Brussels.
