2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Weak cherry aroma. Slightly sweet & woody. Ruby red clear with pink lacing head. Med body with med-high carb. Weak, watery cherry flavored beer. Light hops & weak finish/after. OK but not a great kriek.

25cl, from De Hopduvel Gent, not complex Kriek, yet refreshing, balanced, little sweet, clear, good head, nothing special

The first Lambic I ever tried. Left me a bit dissapointed. Maybe it was the bottle, maybe it was that fine kriek smell that made me expect something special. Don’t know now. The colour was a nice deep red, but the head was big, and pink (which was in a way off-putting). The taste was sour, with the cherries barely showing from time to time, and it felt watered down.

250ml bottle. Clear red body with a rather thick, pink head. A sweet fruit juice aroma, not to strong. Flavor is dominating sweet, confectionary cherry and a small dose of acid. Not completely bad, actually drinkable in small amounts if you’re into the world of sweets. One bottle is big enough.

Shared at the Carolina Crew tasting by OldStyleCubFan - thanks, Todd! Nice to have something aluminum aged for once. Barrels are for suckas. Pretty handsome pour, a nice, well carbonated kriek. But lozenge lozenge lozenge, and a thinnish body to boot.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Cherry red colour with a medium size lasting off white head and good lacing. Mainly cherry flavours with an oily texture that lasted well into the finish, some wood characters which would come from the oak maturation. Nice beer but a bit too sweet for my liking, it would be good with chocolate at the end of a meal.

Thanks OldStyleCubFan for sharing. Poured out of a can (!). Color is a translucent pink with a one finger frothy pink head. The nose is sweet, shows cherry and candy, some almond and cherry pit. The flavor is more sweet than I would expect, cherry and cherry skins, almond character from the pits comes through as well. Lacks the tartness I wants.

Not all that great. Where is all the fruit!? Not the best kriek out there. This could certainly be a heckuva lot fruitier!
