Draught. Red amberish colour, small reddish head. Sweet cherry flavour and aroma. Not quite as sweet as Lindemans.

Poured from a bottle. Sour cherry aroma. Definitely a candied sugar flavor with a pleasantly sour finish. I know that the hardcore lambic fans consider these commercial but I find it to be an enjoyable change of pace.

Bottle, deep amber with maybe orange hints. Strong cherry aroma, with some slightly-sour hints. Strong sweet cherry flavors, very candied, with maybe a hint of orange and a slight acidic touch. Someone I shared the bottle with described it "a candyland kriek", which I felt was very accurate.

Deep amber ruby hue with a nicely-lacing off-white head. Very nice fruity cherry aroma has a touch of pale malt. Fizzy mouthfeel has lots of candied cherry and sugar with a thinner, more watery finish. Could use more malt balance, but has a nice cherry character.

Towering light pink head required several pours to contain. Reddish amber color. Cherries in the aroma, with a tinge of tart mustiness. Large cherry skin flavor, more astringent than tart or sour. Sweetness subsides in the finish to a complete dry astringency. Mouthfeel is light medium and becomes dry.

Very pallid kriek, with little or no cherry flavoring coming through. This leaves me with a mildly refreshing sour ale that quenches and leaves with a dry finish. OK

Poured a brown color with a pink tint and light pink head. Aroma has light cherry and funk mixed together.. Very sweet cherry flavor with moderate acidity and tartness.

Bottle. Thick clear ruby brew with a pink head. More cherries in the nose then the taste. Bitter after taste.
