3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
UPDATED: AUG 12, 2006 (Bottled, 0.375l) Very deep, clear, red color with a large, big-bubbly and cloudy, lasting head. Sweet-candyish, slightly acidic, berryish cherry aroma. Sweet, very slightly tart cherry-candy flavor with a quick, drier cherry stone finish. Medium-bodied, a bit thin, moderately sugary, slightly foamy-carbonated palate. An easy, but quite uninteresting dessert lambic.

2.3 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 8/20
Aroma is rather syrupy sweet cherry. Smells artificial. Deep red colour with a nice thick pink head that recedes with nice lacing. Beautiful bubbly body. Flavour is also overly sweet with a minor tartness emerging towards the finish which is overwhelmed by the pervasive sweetness. There is a nice biscuity flavour left on the palate in the aftertaste. Actually has nice body and effervescent mouthfeel. Bottle (green).
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Small pinkish white head. Deep red body. Yoghurty cherry aroma with marzipan notes. Sweet-dry metallic yoghurty cherry taste, a bit artificial, with wooden notes. Mid-bodied. Sharpish mouthfeel. Dry wooden marzipan cherry aftertaste. Decent, but no more. (0.33l draft, The Office Pub, St. Petersburg.)

Can bought in Brussels.
Very commercial and soda pop-like kriek. It does not make you feel your stomac acid rising or your teeth fillings fall out, but it is boring and uninventive, a pale echo of a real kriek.

Bottle. Pours a deep sparkling ruby-pink with a large somewhat-diminishing foamy pinkish head. Decent sour cherry aroma, a little wine-like. Tart cherry flavour along with some oak and lights hop in the finish -- not cloying at all. Slightly more carbonated then I like. Medium bodied. This is pretty good and makes for a pleasant change of pace every now and then.

2.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Draught at the Belgian Cafe in Perth. Looks pretty cool-- clear ruby-brown with a pink head that lasted the duration. Cherry candy aroma dominates (like children’s cough medicine). All sweet cherry on the palate. Very interesting and fun to try, but one is enough (toooo sweet!)
