2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Light red colour, pink lasting head. Sweet aroma of cherry and apple. Flavor: sweet cherry syrup. Ends a bit watery.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Wonderful cherry scent. Red with little head. Cherry taste, then bitterness and sour. Nice carb/tingle. Quite good.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
250 ml bottle. Antwerpen, Belgium.
Ruby red colour with big pink head.
Sweet cherry aroma with some sugar.
Sourish cherry flavour with some sugary sweetness.
2.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Bottled. Chestnut/purple colour, brief purplish head and moderate condition. Artificial and oversweet cherry aromas, too sweet in the mouth with nasty cherry notes and an oversweet and sticky finish.
2.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Had this as Belle Vue Kriek Classique. Starts quite sweet, very fruity, but also very dry from the beginning till the end. Turns more and more sourish. Fruityness goes to the background. Average!
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Sweet cherry beer, but not in the true lambic vein. Great color, good fruity aroma. Flavor was generally pretty good, but I could have been tempted to imagine cough syrup if I was pressed. Struck me as more of a ladies’ beer.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours with a decent head. Red but slight brown around the rim, as you would find with an aged red wine. Cherry, to be sure, but changes in the mouth to suggest strawberry and raspberry. The sweetness really hit my mouth a bit hard--a bit artificial to that extent. (on tap, Lowlander, Drury Lane, London)
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottled under the name La Becasse Kriek (5.1%), enjoyed at a substandard restaurant near one of the world’s most famous cemetaries, in Paris. My first lambic. Blood/cherry red pour, pink head. Huge, sweet cherry aroma. Flavor followed as expected. Creamy mouthfeel. A bit too sweet and doesn’t really emphasize the sourness of the cherries, but not bad.
