Enjoyed after a day at the beach w/ scoobs, stew, + his crew (Page is a hotty!) .. . Pours a dark ruby colour with a medium full head, has a real quality lacing factor also .. . Smell is of sweet kids cherry juice and fresh pressed cherries+ dark cherry skins, some cherry brandy too ( The best flavor comparison would actually be a cherry fizz lollipop, the one with that fizzy shit in the middle..) .. .. Loaded with flavour: albeit not that complex, very clean and sweet, still a sweeter juice added lambic but damn enjoyable .. . .. Not for the serious Belgian kriek fan, but fuckin tasty and i enjoyed it... 34° 45′ 54″ S, 70° 17′ 11″ W

Red pour with pink head. Aroma of marachino cherries, cough syrup, cherry cough drops. Flavor is oversweet cherries, well water, some earthiness. Finish is flabby and sweet. The kind of fruit lambic your girlfriend likes.

Bottled (BB 05/2009, Vasa session). Deep cherry color, small pinky head. Tart and sweet cherry candy aroma, quite lollipop-like. Sweetish cherry flavor, berry stones, candy, some tartness, a bit like Lindemans kriek, but less sour. Fizzy carbonation. Somehow likeable, but same time a bit too close to soft drink.

Amber-red color with minimal white head. Aroma is tart, sweet and fruity. Initial taste is an explosion of sweet cherry and mellow tartness. Could have used some more carbonation.

bottle - Pours ruby red with a thin pink head. The aroma is all about the cherries, as is the flavor. Rich, sweet cherries with a hint of tartness make this brew more of a dessert drink. The wild yeast isn’t noticeable. It’s too one dimensional to be great, but it’s tasty and reminds me a lot of Kasteel Kriek.

Clear red of color with a pink head. An aroma of red berries, sour notes, cherries and weak sweets and gum. A flavor of redberries, cherries, sweets, bubblegum and nice sour notes.
