Red of color with a reddish head. An aroma of sweet fruit and sour notes. A flavor with hints of cherries and bitter notes.

[Shared with svoger in Præstø, 2005.] After 100 km on bike this was my saving. Although it is "fabriksfremstillet og standset ud i plast" it was ok in the heat. I don’t like the marcipan flavor and it could be more oude in its character!

bottle. Sweet aroma, but the flavour isn’t sweet. Quite hoppy and slightly bitter, combined with fruity flavours of cherries. Hoppy and dry finish.

UPDATED: NOV 16, 2007 Tasted 2007-07-24. Fresh bottle, 25cl. Clear red colour and light red foam. Aroma and taste of sweet cherries, red fruit juice and a little acid. IMO it lacks a bit in the acid department and it’s too sweet and boring. Maybe it’s a good beginner kriek?

Decent. Tastes like sparkling juice. Alcohol is barely noticeable. Light bitterness to the finish. Very refreshing drink. No complexity, only cherry flavor.

Ruby color, thin pinkish head. Very dry beer, with a light sourness, and very light fruity character; metallic bitterness in the end. Poor.

Bottle. Cherry, sweet, chewing gum, quite refreshing! Small frothy head, mostly dimishing. The body is dark red coloured. Sweet beginning on the palate, the finish is a little bit bitter. The duration is medium. Light to medium on the palate, dry texture, soft carbonation.

Bottle. High creamy and pink lasting head. Beautiful clear dark red body. Very sweet cherry aroma. Acidic fresh and nice cherry aroma with a good deal of carbonation and a long aftertaste.
