<b>Draft Sample from Drie Fonteinen Cafe</b><br /> The Kriek had a light pink head was a dark
reddish color and a bit cloudy. There was an evident cherry aroma and the Schaerbeek cherries came through in the taste as well. I would describe the
beer as almost thick and it was definitely sweetish, though not sickly so. The pink head was quite creamy yet it was not all that resilient. The carbonation was also quite a bit lower than the Gueuze, which makes sense, as it is not
bottle conditioned. Overall this was an incredible example of the Schaerbeek cherry, very complex and wonderful. Too bad it has such a limited production.

Apr 1, 2008 (3/10/08) On tap at Drie Fonteinen restaurant in Beersel. Deep red, almost opaque, with medium pink head. Aroma of cherries, a bit medicinal with hints of funk. Flavor is sourish with some medicinal notes, cherries, some citrus and some sweetness as well. Light to medium body. Quite good but definitely not great.

Mar 17, 2008 2008-03-07. Dark ruby red body with a large foamy pink head. Sweet cherry aroma is a tad simplistic, light musty notes. Flavour similarly starts with a strong dose of sweet cherries, and a very lightly finky sourness that slowly builds as it moves into the finish and aftertaste. (7+) Average palate. Pleasant. <br /><i>On tap at 3 Fonteinen, Beersel</i>

Pours a pretty deep red with no head. Light redskin aroma, shows quite a bit of sweetness, fruity candy like. Flavours are not sour at all, a lot of grapeskin and chewy cherries. Vineous, sour finish. Very interesting to try, pretty simple but pleasing all the same.
