| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Feb 18, 2006 From a 8.4 oz. slender long neck brown bottle with bottled/freshness code on the back label, 31 JB, that I’m not sure what date that translate out to. Made kind of a average appearance, poured a cloudy cherry hued brown with no real head, just some fizzy bubbles that quickly formed a fine bubbly lacing. Had a big cherry juice aroma, sweet with a little tartness. Medium carbonation and a tart, slick light bodied mouth feel, above average drinkability. Once again, had a tart, mildly sweet cherry juice taste that masks the other flavors and a dry, cherry finish with a sweet alcohol tinge lingering in the palate.

Pours a hazy washed-out dishwater red with a small head.
The aroma is an overpowering burst of cherry cordial; the flavor reveals just enough of the lovely sour lambic underneath to make me really wish it weren’t ruined by the overpowering and some artificial cherry flavors that dominate. The palate is quite nice, sparkling and lightly refreshing, but on the whole, the overpowering cherry flavor makes this a rather disappointing experience. I much prefer the far more subtle cherry of e.g. Verhaeghe Echt Kriek.

Taste is cherries, slightly sour. Overall a nice kriek beer. heemer77 (4312), Savannah, Missouri, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Jan 15, 2006 Labeled as Cherish Kriek. The body is a murky yet bright red. The head is just barely pink, but mostly white. The aroma is almost caramel with some cherries and chocolate. The taste is rich caramel along with some hay and a little hint of maraschino cherries in the finish. The body is light. Needs more fruit flavor. bu11zeye (5603), Frisco, Texas, USA

Aroma of cherries, mustiness, basement, and some sweet tarts. Sweet cherry and stale cracker flavor with a soft, somewhat creamy finish. DCJack (146), Alabama, USA

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Oct 15, 2005 Strong medicinal cherry aroma with underlying sweetness. Beautiful red coloured body with low, fine bubbled pink white head that lasts and laces. Sweet cherry flavour is medicinal in character with some sweet malt character and a light tartness in the finish. Light, refreshing body with lively carbonation. Sampled on tap at Den Tatoverede Enke in Copenhagen. dwyerpg (2545), Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
| 4.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 19/20 | Aug 29, 2005 Can’t understand the low score every one else give this. If I could give this beer a higher rating for aroma I would - it smells like a cherry cordial. A truly fantastic lambic.
