Small bottle purchased at the Davis Food Co-Op. Cork lets out a nice pop when it is opened. Aroma is straight forward with lots of sweet, sugary cherry notes. There is a light mustiness, but this is predominantly cherry candy sugar in the nose. Very aromatic and pleasant. I know that it isn’t to style or whatever, but I don’t really care. Moderately hazy amber-hued red body with a medium pink head that has moderate dissipation. The start is dominated by very sweet cherry flavors. Some light, spritzy carbonation tickles the tongue as well. The finish does have a very lightly astringency, but not overly acetic. Pretty drinkable. I think this is enjoyable for what it is. It is obviously not a true kriek lambic, but I still find this enjoyable, even if it is not authentic or whatever.

Bottle from Dranken Geers. Probably one of the sweetest krieks I’ve had. Like cough syrup or cherry sweets for kids. Just too much artificial fruit and sweetness. Drinkable enough, but I doubt I’ll ever buy it again.

Pours rosy colored with a decent sized pinkish white head. Aroma is tart cherry. Taste is also a tart cherry, with good malt and wheat malt flavors. Pretty good.

Pours red color with a pink tiny head. Tasty cherry flavour and aroma, almost alcohole free. Nice lambic.

750ml bottle. Pours a relatively clear, but dark ruby red color. Head is pretty thick and pinkish/light red in color. Flavor is relatively tart, with a nice subtle sweetness to it. Nice tart finish. Fantastic brew.

Pours bright dark clear ruby red. Big froathy pink head. Aroma very sweet but still tart wild cherry. Flavor some tartness but not too much that it overpowers the beer. Lots of sour cherry. Nice kriek.

Draught at Poirotti. A light pink head. Hazy reddish colour. Lots of cherry in the nose. Sweetish cherry taste. Some hoppiness in the aftertaste later.

Pours a dark, dark purplish red with a creamy pink head. Aromas of, surprise, cherries. In the mouth it’s cherry soda up front, a bit of straw or grain husk with a nice tartness in the middle, and a surprising bitterness in the end. Light fizzy body with a syrupy feel going down. Long tart finish. A fine sipping beer but I wouldn’t drink this after mowing the yard.
