Light aroma of cherry syrup. Nice rocky, lasting head with beautiful lacing on top of a clear, light orange-brown liquid (a bit darker than the Framboise). Medium body, sticky and syrupy sweet, only very slightly sour. Kind of flat, syrupy taste of cherries, some sour apple flavors and malt as well. Doesn’t taste as clean and fresh and crisp as other Belgian lambics. Less cloying and flat compared to the Framboise.

Sweeter than what a proper lambic should be, but a single glass is enjoyable. Nice cherry aroma and colour.

UPDATED: JUN 30, 2003 Although no Girardin Kriek or one of the other great real krieks I do however enjoy this one on a summer evening. Strong cherry aroma. Red color, pink head, good lace. Sweet, light sour, cherry, no wood however. Long cherry finish and a little dry.
