3.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle. Dark pinky-red with a thin off-white pinkish head. Cherry malty nose, trees, not offensive, sweetish. Moderately carbonated mouth, sweet cherry, woody, then a touch of sourness. Reminds me of sweet cherry sweets I ate as a child, and black forest gateaux. Not much palate, what there is is a bit woody. Slightly sour towards the end. All in all, well rounded, not bold enough for my liking though. Bit ’flimsy’
2.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
25 cL bottle, recently re-marketed in Belgium as "Kriek Classique." Some BS on the label about traditional recipe, blah blah. Pours pinkish-red with a light pink head. Black cherry sour candy aroma. There is a slight tartness to the cherry flavor, which is mildly sweet but not cloying like a soda pop. The result is refreshing. But that’s the only dimension to this beer, which offers no truly beery elements. No funkiness, no bitterness, etc. Pretty damned boring.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle, purchased in a cafe in Brussels. Poured a deep dark red colour,with a foamy pinkish beige head. Dominant cherry aroma and sweet taste of malt flavors with some spiciness and hints of hoppiness in the finish. .

2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle. Dark as hell in here so can’t really give much notes on appearance. Smells very tart and overly cherry-fied but the taste isn’t too bad. Cherry cherry cherry all over the place. Thought it was ok.
Pours clear and golden amber with a light pink head. Dry sulphorish cherry aroma. Flavour is dry cherry with a light citric note. Dry cherry finish. Simple yet seems authentic. Mild citric note too.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Cherry dominates aroma. Pours a lovely reddish brown with a thick head. Quite sweet, cherry flavour is the major standout. No hops to speak of, a sipping beer, kind of tastes like a wine.
