Can. (5.1%ABV) Clear, candy-red with a large pink head. Hints of sourness in the aroma, but mostly cherries and sugar. The same goes for the flavor. Sticky mouthfeel and a finish that is mostly sweet, but also has some tartness. (060709)

Christian (8043) - Odense, DENMARK - JUN 12, 2005
Deep ruby beer with a short lived white head that leaves some lacing. Very candy-like cherry aroma. Flavour is more interesting, with some hops to give a somewhat dry finish to the sweet cherry.

Maria (7805) - Thisted, DENMARK - DEC 15, 2007
It’s a nice reddish kriek with ditto head. It has cherries in aroma and flavour. It’s not sticky sweet, but on the sweet side, and it has just enough acidity to balance the overall impression.
