Commercial Description:
The Bios Kriek Lambic is sold under the CHERISH label in the USA and outside Europe. Everybody likes the right balance between the sourness of the Lambic and the sweetness of the fruit, in this case cherries. The aroma of the cherries is not too dominant, as it should be. The beer gives a very pleasant and refreshing feeling in the mouth, with a smooth cherry aftertaste. The Bios Kriek Lambic is an excellent thirst quencher, low in alcohol (5 % by volume) and great to drink at parties. True Lambic lovers prefer the Bios Kriek Lambic so much because you taste slightly more of the Lambic sourness, than in some more commercial Belgian Lambics, wherein the artificial sweetness is too strong.

As Cherish cherry. Berry cherry red with a medium pink head and some minor lacing. Aroma of tart cherries, malt and cherry soda. Taste is of more tart cherries, malt, cherry cola and mild yeast. Finishes up tart and sweet. Not bad in a small dose.

ruby red color, clear no head, sweet cherry aroma, pretty one dimensional flavor, cherry candy syrup, sweet with subtle tartness, not funky or sour. Just like their raspberry lambic only cherry

Smells like artifical cherry flavoring. Similar to a laffy taffy. Looks bright red with a creamy pink head - 2 fingers Nice carbonation Virtually no sourness Too sweet, not dry at all Overwhelming candy cherry taste

Drought. Red with small pink head. As lemonade but not that sweet. Still very sweet though. A bit dry, carbonated mouth feel.. Not bad a warm summer day.

Quite tasty and flavourful, though not as good as the raspberry counterpart of the same brewer. Raspberry is just kind of better anyway though. A bit on the fizzy side.

Bottle, bought @ Bierpaleis, Brügge.
Pours muddy brownish red with a dark pink, small and frothy head. Aroma has notes of cellar, cherries, light tartness, malts, plums and a touch of strawberries. Medium carbonation, a bit thinish mouthfeel. Flavour is nicely fruity tart, light notes of almonds, citric and cherries. A touch of fruity sweetness in the end. A bit like the Melborn Brothers cherry.

Hats off to Sparky for this beer. You are too generous Eric. Had the Cherish label with cherries and it did live up to to smell and name. Sweet cherries and lots of carbination, not as sour as would have liked, but still enjoyed
