gunnar (2279) - Sandnes, NORWAY - JUL 21, 2010
Draught at Belgian Beer Cafe, Gyor. Pours hazy red with a big pink head and medium carbonation. Fruity cherry aroma with a sour touch to it. Sparkling mouthfeel. Taste is on the sweet fruity side. Dry end, well balanced

blipp (3600) - Newark, New Jersey, USA - JUL 3, 2010
Draft. Pours red with a thin pink head. Fruity cherry aroma with some lighter earthy notes. The flavor has fruity cherry syrup and a hint of sourness lying in the background. Easy to drink, but otherwise unimpressive.

ndon (857) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - JUL 1, 2010
dont know if this is still on tap, but was at the belgian bier cafe (going through my "passport" that i filled). way too over the top with cherries for my liking.

Metalchopz (1173) - Quebec, CANADA - JUN 30, 2010
This kriek lambic pours a deep purple-red colour from it’s green 375ml corked bottle. The head is decent and the lacing is great. Leaves the glass real dirty as you sip it. The nose is of course, cherries, with some sourness and herbs. Tastes like cherry syrup you take for your cough, or cherry Halls. Nothing offfensive though. Very smooth and no sourness in the mouth. The hop mixture makes this beer pretty good.

marcot (771) - Campomorone, ITALY - JUN 20, 2010
Bevuta in belgio a Bruges, è una tipica kriek "dolce" e non acida come le vere lambic. E’ una bibita, ma è buona da mandare giù

JanEric (661) - Meppel, NETHERLANDS - JUN 6, 2010
Bottle. Reddish colour, with a dense white reddish head. Aroma is cherries, krieken, and raspberries. Sour taste, slightly bitter, fizzling in the mouth. Fruity, with a slightly bitter and sourish finish. Nice to drink, thirstquenching.

Vaiz (1847) - Den Haag, NETHERLANDS - JUN 3, 2010
Bottle at home. Hazy deep purple to red color with a thin creamy white head. Aroma is cherries, hay and some faint wild yeast. Flavor is sweet, sour and bitter in quite a nice balance. Slightly bitter finish. Lively carbonation and a watery texture. Better than expected actually.

suprchunk (802) - Heinsberg, GERMANY - MAY 24, 2010
Got here from the alias La Becasse. Don’t know why as this is completely different from Belle-Vue. Very different taste so I can’t explain why this is listed as the same - it’s not. This pours a very dark brown-red. Cherry smell - surprise. Sweet, but dry at the same time. Little oaky. Which is not bad. I think it finishes way too dry for a kriek though. It is more lambic than kriek. Not bad.
