Dark blood red in color with an off-white head. Not as cherry-ish or extreme as other examples. Tart; virtually no acidity. Least favorite Kriekbier.

Hovering in between sweet and dry. Cherries are well presented, but rather lifeless in other aspects including carbonation. After developing an appreciation for the sourness and "funk" found in others it’s harder to get excited about this one. Not a thing really bad about in the least - if that makes sense.

Cherry, apple that makes a aroma-mixture between sweet and sour. Purple head, light sourness, kicks! Syrupy and a long finish. Nice refreshing kriek

Bottled at the Danish Beerfestival 2003: Dark red couled. Perfumed nose. Cherry and vinegar. Loads of cherry in the flavour. Vague sourness. Reminds me a little of "hubba bubba" chewing gum. Not bad at all.

Pours a deep ruby red, with a small fizzy pink head. Flavor is tart before it warms up to the proper temperature. After sitting for awhile, the flavors really come out, syrupy sugary sweet, that reminds me of those little cherry candies you get around the holidays from Hickory Farms. Very tasty and easy to drink.

Sweeter than what a proper lambic should be, but a single glass is enjoyable. Nice cherry aroma and colour.

Dark amber bordering on brown. Tight, white head is large and lasting, leaving behind full sheets of lacing. Sour cherry aroma has hints of oak. Flavor is not strong of cherries, surprisingly. The fruity sourness is there, but comes off as slightly artificial and medicinal. Bitter woody finish is a little off. Not overly carbonated, which is nice. Still, I've had better lambics.
