Bottle labeled ";Cherish"; purchased at State Line Liquors in Elkton, MD. Poured a deep ruby with a thin pink head into my snifter. Smells like cherry cough syrup, slightly sour. Taste is tart and wheaty, not nearly as much cherry character as I had hoped for. Finishes a little weak, no cherry or sour character remains, just wheat. Not bad.

Aug 29, 2008 This is a nice lambic, with an agreeable balance of tart sourness and sweetness, both of those qualities are blended nicely. This is the sweetest kriek I prefer, I might buy more for use with desserts.

Aug 25, 2008 8.4 oz. bottle. Pours ruby read with brownish lo-lights. A slight skim of sudsy foam floats around the top then dissipates. smell is cherry with a strong sour malt smell backing it up. Taste is cherry sours up front with a nice sweet malt finish that hold in the back of your throat. Mouthfeel is medium to full with pretty low carbonation. It really rolls over your tongue. This is a nice tasty fruit brew.

Aug 5, 2008 25 cl. Cherish version, 07 vintage. Dark red-brown with a two-finger lasting and creamy head. Nice frosting all over the glass. Big aroma of tart cherry and slight apple. Flavor is sweet and tart cherry pie with a hint of cinnamon, apple vinegar and lemon juice on the finish. Medium body is creamy but lightly rippled with carbonation.

Jul 29, 2008 From a small bottle purchased at By The Bottle in Vancouver, WA--Poured a lavish deep red body with a small pink head. Super cherry nose, like syrup. Over the top maraschino scent. Smooth and thick, but a little bit goes a long, long way.

Jul 9, 2008 didn’t expect much from this beer but I was impressed. It pours with a red body topped by a thin head with little lacing. The aroma is full of sweet marichino (sp?) cherries with slight malt notes. The flavor is slightly sour yet sweet with tons of marichino(sp? again) and a hint of malt. Light bodied, smooth and dry.It’s no New Glarus,but what is? Overall good.This would be a good beer to get someone into craft brew.
