BückDich (5468) - McCall, Idaho, USA - OCT 7, 2007
Tap @ Popeye’s: Ruby red, light pink head, nose of full fruit and light tartness. Some chewy vanilla and light sweet cherry notes in the tail. Sweet, lacking the choice tart balance that are key in the great lambics.

JAF737300 (1183) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - SEP 22, 2007
Sweet and Acididic notes of blak cherry. The palate is very sweet with a heavy dense flavor and mouthfeel. Textural. Not as sweet on the finish as the bitterness/acid blends well.

MiP (11256) - Sønderborg, DENMARK - SEP 22, 2007
Sweet and acidic aroma. Deep red colour, stable pink head. Thickish mouthfeel. The flavour is quite sweet and slightly acidic, with some fruit notes. Refreshing.

heavy (1466) - Split, CROATIA - SEP 22, 2007
0.375 l bottle. Pours dark clear red body with bigger medium head. Aroma of black cherry and some hops. Bit vinegar, too. Flavor still with the black cherry, sourish but not too much lambic present, although more "looking like beer" than other fruit lambic I’ve recently tried. High carbonation on the palate of course. Finish a bit sour. Not bad generally.

1994 bottle at the kulminator. pours ruby with small white head. nose of a cherry syrup quality (wonder why?) and some toffee. flavor is light chocolate covered syrupy cherry flavor. not sour, not acidic, not a lambic. but with age it’s actually pleasent and not too sweet. mouth feel is watery, palate is way too short. better than i thought it would be but at only 2euro i had to try it.

Basic lambic. I remember drinking this at a mediocre and over priced Belgian cafe. Not a bad lambic, but not the best.

jmm1 (114) - ANDORRA - AUG 31, 2007
From 375ml bottle. Ruby red with a pinky fluffy head that leaves a nice lacing. Obviously a strong cherry nose but not overwhelming. Sweet and sour cherry in mouth, but a light watery finish. Medium carbonation with a high sourness makes it easy to drink, but it lacks some body. An average kriek.

UPDATED: SEP 4, 2007 draft - Pours ruby with a thin head. It smells mostly of cherries. The flavor is sweet and full of fruit, mostly the cherries. This tastes like the tropical fruit punch of lambics. I didn’t notice any of the expected lambic character. It’s alright on a warm day, but if you’re a lambic drinker you’ll want to look elsewhere.
