Apr 6, 2007 Bottle; nose of sweet cherries and only a tiny tart hint; red with a small pink head; flavor is cherry, cherry, and more cherry. Too sweet!

Apr 1, 2007 Bottle courtesy of dragonstout. Pours brownish with a pink small head. Smells of shirley temple cheap cherries and syrup with hints of dry lemonyness and wheat. Tastes like a shirley temple with some blah lemony sourness thrown in.

Mar 26, 2007 Bottle... This beer rocks!... Murky ruby ale with a small, fizzy, white head. The aroma is of cherry pie filling and a touch of graham... reminiscent of the aroma of New Glarus’ Belgian Red. The flavor is far more sugary and far less pungent than that of traditional lambics. Sweet and fruity; tart and tangy. Medium-bodied and creamy with soft, tingly carbonation. Leaves a lingering, sweet, fruity taste in the mouth. I’ll go against the grain here as I thoroughly enjoyed this brew! There’s more than enough room within the world of beer for both traditional and sweetened lambics, such as this!

Mar 15, 2007 (Bottled) Sonewhat hazy, deep red color with a smallish, pink head. Sweet, but reasonably natural aroma of cherries. Very sweet cherry flavor with an inch of acididity, but hardly even a hint of tartness. Light to medium-bodied, sticky-sugary palate with low to medium carbonation. Another potentially drinkable, even somewhat natural kriek spoiled with excess sugar...

Mar 8, 2007 Bottle. Frothy white almost no head. Dark red colour. Powerfull cheery aroma. Not so good flavor. Very sweet and too acetic. Average finish. Watery syrupy palate.

Feb 25, 2007 Astonishingly, not 100% sweet. Sweet in the front, yes. Sweet in the end, yes. But--but!--a slight hint of tart sourness nestled somewhere in the middle. To be sure, it’s not much, but it’s there. Also less artificial-tasting in the fruit department than other de Troch beers.

Feb 22, 2007 Dark red coloured, some light carbonation with a small pink head. Artificial cherry aroma, sweets candy like. Medium sweet cherry taste. Finish is again sweet cherry with an artificial candy touch. Rather medium one.

Feb 7, 2007 Hazy reddish body with a few pink bubbles around the edge of the glass. A hint of real, sour cherries in the aroma, but more dominating is the cherry flavored cough syrup. As for the taste, well...a sugar sweetness at the start, followed by cherry flavored gummy candy, much like Swedish fish, and a slight finish of vinegar sourness. This might be good as a first intoduction to the style, but not something I like very much at all.
