Jan 19, 2009 Poured crimson with no head. There was a nice cherry, fruity aroma with a little bit of horse blanket underneath. Not overwhelmingly fruity, but nice. The flavor was dominantly fruity, cherry with some nice vinous qualities. Overall, this is a heavy fruit beer and not for those who dislike fruity beers. I thought it was pretty good, more like champagne.

Dec 18, 2008 Fad: Flot rødlig øl med lyserødt skum. Dejlig smag af kirsebær, med en fin balance til den meget lette surhed. God frisk tørstslukker, og perfekt til mine smagsløg.

Dec 9, 2008 Lovely example of a kriek. I am probably over-rating this because we are starved of good fruit beers Down Under. I do not care because I had forgotten just how enjoyable a good fruit beer can be. Muddy plum colour with a thick Cremola Foam head that lingered well. Creamy, subtle aroma - intriguing. Sherbet-sour with canned peaches and cream. Some restrained sugars. Light body with some late spritz. Soft cherries, filling malty middle and a quenching sherbet-fizz finish. No funk here - very clean but tasty. A great balancing act. [375ml bottle 2006 vintage from IBS, Perth. bb 3/7/11]

Oct 28, 2008 Pours a pretty cherry red with brown and alot of sediment. A nice sour presence pervades the area, followed by some vinegar toward the end of the pour. My wife drank much of the bottle, but I got enough to have formed an impression. Not bone-dry like other krieks, but with a wine-like quality, little residual sweetness. Cherry and oak up front. A striking amount of vinegar. Different. Slight medicinal component.

Oct 25, 2008 375 ml bottle. Deep cherry red color, pinkish head. Sweet-and-sour cherry aroma. Sweet fruity flavor. High carbonation. Not much of a kriek, lacking the proper sour flavor.
