cherry strawberry aroma. reddish brown with a huge pink holey head. sweet and lightly sour flavor of cherry. pretty good. seems more mellowed than lindemans.

Bottle. Pours cloudy, muddy ruby with a huge frothy pinkish head, lasting. Aroma is sweet, tart cherries and yeast (oak, cellar). Medium sweetness and bitterness, a nice contrast in this beer, some sour lemon, citrus notes, and a sour finish. Medium bodied and foamy palate.

37,5 cl bottle. Dark reddish colour with a fizzy nice head. Very powerful aroma of cherries and hints of oak too. Very smooth sour cherry flavour that ends up dry and very refreshing. A nice kriek.

Bottled. Sour, floral detergent clean aroma with tart cherry underpinning. Thin redwhite head on red grape body. Much tarter and real than lindemans, still notably quite sweet. A good deal perhaps for an acolyte who noticess the thinness of lindemans but whose palate isn’t yet adjusted to real lambic. Still, wish there was a step further beyond this, because this is still unnecessarily sweetened - there needs to be a further middle ground. I’m not a big fan of the cherry flavor overall and particularly here. Also, it’s barely detectable that this is beer or alcohol at all, it has more of a juice character, it makes little impression on the palate. IT’s a bit thin and one dimensional.

Red with a medium lasting white head. Very dominating cherry aroma, almost candy-like. Light sweet cherry flavour with a sour/dry finish.
