Bottle. Pours deep red with a pink head. Very strong sour cherry aroma, with a hint of vinegar. Flavour was very sour and very cherry. An extremely good beer, but not one you could drink a lot of.

Bottle. Deep, reddish-brown color, pinkish head. Aroma of sour cherries and some earthy tones. Beautiful cherry flavor, with well-balanced sweetness. One of the best krieks I’ve had the pleasure of tasting.

Bottle. Pours a light brown ruby color with a quickly diminishing pink head. Aroma is vinegar cherries and wood. Flavor is sweet then quickly sour cherries with a dry wood finish. Very bittersweet the whole way through with some butter in the flavor.

Rusty coloured, fair and lasting head. Nose of krieken, some oak and balsamic vinegar. Initially sweet flavour, which develops to be more sour in the end. Fairly complex and not overly sweet. Lasting bittersweet finish. Pretty good!

bottle. aroma is a generous amount of cherries. Pour is brown/ruby. Flavors include sugar, cherry - very low vinegar taste. Has some characteristics of cider and juice. Does not taste syrupy.
