Cartoonkhaki (1177) - Brantford, Ontario, CANADA - DEC 19, 2002
Tasted like metal! Aluminum aftertaste. It it wasn’t for the cherry smell this would be smelling really skunky. The only thing this had going for it was that it looked good. What a horrible aftertaste... I think I’m going to dump it. bleahh.

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.

OKBeer (1168) - Halifax, Nova Scotia, CANADA - MAY 28, 2003
Deep red colour with a thick and foamy but mostly diminishing pink tinted head. Sour cherry aroma. Flavour of tart and sweet cherries. Palate is flat and light but refreshing.

cheeta (1165) - Langå, DENMARK - MAR 28, 2008
Heavy malty and fruthy aroma, cherry. Huge, frothy, pink head. Good lacing. Fully lasting longevity. Clear, pink body. Heavy sweet and bitter initial flavor, with a long sour finish duration. Light to medium, watery palate.

manuchampions (1154) - Vancouver, British Columbia, CANADA - FEB 15, 2011
Sample at Tasting Panel #1. Small format bottle. Pours a reddish brown colour with a large cherry head with nice lacing. Aroma strong on cherry and red fruits. Flavour is a little timid, sweet, cherries, slight maltiness. This was an aged bottle that was probably better suited to being consumed while fresh.

Dalle (1145) - Skørping, DENMARK - SEP 20, 2003
Bottle. A very nice kriek! Ruby colour with a fine pinkish head. Sour/acidic plus cherries. Does not have the artificial bubble-gum qualities of other macro-krieks.
