Bottle. Purple-red color with a purple-white head. Musty aroma with enough cheriies. Sweet, sugary flavor with cherries. There’s some tartness, but the sweet overpowers. Some mustiness in the fatertaste. Finsihes a little sweet. Would like to see more tartness.

Bottle. Nice tart cherry aroma - hint of mustiness. Dark red color with small pink head. A balanced sweet tart cherry flavor - not too much of either. Body a bit on the weak side but overall a nice tasting, enjoyable kriek.

(Bottle) Pours a bright ruby body with a small pinkish head. Aroma of cherry syrup. Sweet cherry flavor. Clean and refreshing.

a mes rate: fantastic. cherries and sugar throughout. deep cherry red appearance. sweet cherry flavour only very slightly bitter. instantly turns sour in the finish but just as quickly it is replaced with the sugar and then the cherries. even better on draught but sadly i can’t get that here. if you want a good kriek without the fierce lambic sour and tarty hit then i would say start here.

Deep ruby with fine fast disapaering pink head. The aroma is full of cherry. The flavor is sour, bitter and sweet and lots of cheery in the aftertaste.

color was dark garnet, off-white tall foamy head. aroma is sweet cherry soda, faintly sour. flavor is kind of the same, with a little yeastiness. a little drier than the lindeman’s kriek.

Quite disappointing. Not exploding with fruitiness or tartness. A bit bland and chalky. A snoozer.
