Murky red body with no head. Some sluge droped in the glass from bottom of bottle on pour. Decent fruity and sour flavor. Most notable was the sweet juicy sour plum which was good. Got a yeasty bread shot on the finish. Special thanks go out here to Paul, Josh and the Superdave family for the special delivery. nbutler11 (741), Phoenix, Arizona, USA

Pours a burnt shade of amber in color with mild carbonation and a fleeting beige head. Smells amazing. I want this in an oxygen tank. Perfect tart cherry pie filling flavor -- crust and all -- with a spicy touch of cinnamon. Warm and comforting. Easily the best Kriek I’ve had, thus far. rustychiles (1026), Mesa, Arizona, USA

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Sep 1, 2009 Growler. Nice reddish brown color. Aroma and flavor are both more sweet than I expected. More cherry sweetness than sour. A lovely drink overall but could be more sour for me. A little bit on the syrup side but not bad. malrubius (985), Valley Stream, New York, USA

Hazy, dark red body with a quick foamy white head. Cherry pie filling flavour has a sweet long aftertaste. Medium body. Lovely cherry, wow.

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 15/20 | Aug 16, 2009 Draft at Selin’s. Opaque ruby with a small pink head. Generally sweet nose mainly of lightly tart cherry, also some spice with ginger, light cream, and brown sugar. Heavy cherry in the flavor, faintly tart, some pit and very juicy. Silky body but excellent carbonation, molds well with the minor tart notes to give the beer a sparkling feel. Very sweet, but insanely drinkable.
