sour aroma, opens with sweet cherry taste, switches to a sour finish.

Justlike the gueuze, this is a commercial kriek, and tastes very sweet, not fruity at all, like you taste with the lindemans one.

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.

Not my favorite of lambics, but it was my first. Decent in flavor and nose, a little dry. Every bottle I buy seems to have a noticeable amount of sediment at the bottom.

Nice looking, nice smelling beer. But, that interesting blend of cherries and lambic-y undertones is just not there. Needs more oak and horse-blanket.

A little on the sweet side. I think I’d rather drink red wine. It wasn’t bad, though. Just not my thing. Smells nice!

I love the swish of it when it hits the tongue. Pleasant after taste.

Light and fruity.
