Deep red of color with a reddish/pink head. A sour aroma with notes of cherries and no sweets. A flavor of sour cherries and lovely dry.

Sparkling clear ruby body topped by a foamy small pink head. The aroma is sour cherries and light nuty malt. Sour cherry with a fakish cherry flavor, cherry syrup I guess. Very stringent finish.

Aroma of cinnamon and faint cooked apples. What I thought to be rubber was actually oak notes. I need practice. Deep ruby, cranberry color. Flavor of sweet cherry candies(lifesavers) with the great sour base beer as the knockout. Not too tart...oh wait, there it is! It lines the mouth with a carbonated cherry puckering sensation.

Pours with a fizzy head like soda, dies. Color is clear pinkish brown. Nice light oaken aroma mixed with mild cherries. First taste is quite sweet. Luckily sourness barges in and dominates the palate. I still think it’s too sweet. Mineral/metallic feel around this one, detracts. Light yeast, lots of sweet cherries, tart with solid acidity. Body was a little sticky. Ho-hum.

scura non molta schima profuma di ciliegie legno agrodolce e vinosa e sul finale prevale la ciliegia

Plum-brown body under a light purple bubbly head. Concentrated sweet cherry aroma with woody, slightly vinegary, medicinal notes. The flavor has a weak, astringent malt backing with the same over-sweet cherries. Lots of skin tannins as well. This is a dumbed-down flemish sour, sort of like Lindeman’s Kriek.

Medium red color with a small pinkish head. Aroma is tart, fruity and sour. A medium bodied kriek. Tart and fruity with a nice malt backbone. Acidic and a little harsh perhaps. Very smooth though. Light and refreshing. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.
