Clear red towards light brown look with a light pink head. Aroma of sour wild fermentation and of course cherry, but in a natrual not completly dominating way. The cherry flavor is nicely balanced in this one, lots of sour notes are detected and an ok tartness. Not too sugery either. Good one

I didn’t like this rather flat Kriek.
Beautiful deep magenta red appearance with a pinkish head. Aroma is cherries, sharp and a little bit woody, each sniff washed with a small wave of acidity.
Tastes like lemonade, everything really numbed out by the sugar. Becomes very watery after drinking this a while, the inferior carbonation not helping this. Couldn’t half finish the 375ml bottle. I honestly have a hard time figuring out anything else to say about this beer.
I don’t even think this is a good one for your first fruit lambic, it is just too sweet and watery for the style.

0.375 bottle. My first fruit lambic, so it will be hard to rate. Dark clear red body with somewhat reddish head. Aroma of cherry, flavor cherry with lambic feeling in the background. High carbonation on the palate of course. Not my type of beer I don’t like those fruit things but definitely not bad.

poured into tulip. pours a dark red cherry color with full frothy pink head, sweet sour cherry aroma. fizzy carbonated full mouthfeel. very fruity/cherry initial, with sweetness thruought to fruit on the finish and aftertaste. very well rounded and impressive, subtle, straitforward, yet complex.. very good kriek and easy to drink.

Draught in Kaisla, Helsinki. Strong citrus aroma, tart and spicy. Dark brown, small pink head. Taste quite sweet, with a fruity finish.

Red of color with a reddish head. An sour aroma of fresh cheeries, hints of sweets. A fresh flavor of cherries and red fruits, notes of sweets and a dry finish.

12 oz. bottle. The aroma is dark ripe cherry; not sweet, but not sour. Just fresh. The color is a hazy reddish color. Unique. The off-white head quickly filmed. Medium bodied with creamy carbonation. The flavor is cherry, with underlying yogurt sort of sour. It is very like a good cherry yogurt - fat free of course. The finish is dry, a tad tart, and a very slight bit astringent. Makes the mouth pucker a bit. Just excellent.
