3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle at Aikmans, St Andrews. Deep red ale with a pink thin head Nose is sweet and flat with lots of glace cherries. Mouth actually has some punch to it - there’s the sweet glace cherries to start with, then some disjointed sourness, then the two seem to come together. There’s some dishwater and fizzy sweet and maybe a touch of pink lemonade. It’s alright, but it’s not the best.

Mes is gonna bitch again :-) but i am a sucker for fake, sugary, aspartame tasting beligum ales. i agree on the apple and soap nose but hey who doesn’t like sour fizzy haribo cherries.... bad taste? definitely, but i like it.
3.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20
On tap at The Wellington, Hull.
Pours a bright red, not as dark as other kriekds. Obvious smell of cherries, taste is very much like chery drops (sweets). More sweet than many krieks which i prefer, but may be cloying to others.
Nice for a small drink in the evening.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20

3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Deep ruby red body, small pink head. When you drink it there are bags of cherries, a sherbert sweetness, combined with the seasoned oak dryness of a sour ale. I got two hits of fruit: a jammy, sweet flavour and a more tart taste that cuts through. I really liked it; its better than the raspberry version.

Bottle. Deep dark red with a small head. Aromas are sweet dark cherries with damsons. Flavours are damsons with sweet syrupy cherry. Dry with hints of citrus on the finish.
1.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
draught at Fat Cat. Synthetic, sweet concoction that has almost certainly never seen a cherry in its life. fruit syrup dominates, with a plastic-y cherryade aftertaste. a poor example of the type
3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
37.5cl bottle from Sainsburys. Reddish copper with a dirty pink head; plum and cherry aroma; sour cherry flavour with a good burst of bitterness followed by very sweet fruit. Altogether fuller and more robust than the Framboise.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
UPDATED: FEB 25, 2011 Bottled. A deep red coloured beer with a small off-white head. The aroma has cherries, but there are notes of plum also. Cherries in the taste and an unexpected bitterness. Cherry flavours are all skin and no juicy pulp. Ok.Score 3.1
Subsequent ratings scored 3.7 and 3.4. Average becomes 3.4
