bierkoning (7777) - La Tropica, NETHERLANDS - JUL 4, 2002
Aroma of cheap sweets and cherry. Sweet and just a bit sour taste with cherry juice. Certainly drinkable, but it has nothing to do with a real kriek.

saxo (7442) - Højbjerg, Aarhus, DENMARK - JUL 27, 2006
Bottle. Nice pink head with good duration. Color is clear light ruby. Good aroma of cherries. Taste is refreshing and vinous. Not as sour as some of the other lambics around, but a bit more watery.

madsberg (7300) - Søborg, DENMARK - MAY 11, 2003
Bottled at the Danish Beerfestival 2003: Dark red couled. Perfumed nose. Cherry and vinegar. Loads of cherry in the flavour. Vague sourness. Reminds me a little of "hubba bubba" chewing gum. Not bad at all.

HenrikSoegaard (7231) - Randers, DENMARK - MAR 31, 2011
Can. Creamy white good mostly lasting head. Red colour. Heavy nice cherry and marcipan aroma. Light sweet powerfull cherrie flavor. Slightly sour. Average light sour finish. Oily palate.

imdownthepub (7171) - Banbury, Oxfordshire, ENGLAND - NOV 14, 2005
Bottled, 330 ml. Dark chestnut to purple, pinkish head. Sour cherry straight in from the start with a sweet sucrosy background. Heavy on the tongue with a cardboardy fizzed CO2 note. Not for me.

bhensonb (7143) - Woodland, California, USA - MAY 31, 2008
25 cl bottle. Bright mahogany color with a pinkish white head that went down fast. Cherry aroma. Not particularly sweet or sour aroma. Medium body with coarse carbonation. Slightly sour, but also slightly sweet, cherry. Barring the cherry it could be a red wine. Finishes rather dry. Certainly not one of the soda pop fruit lambics. Finishes rather tart.

MoritzF (7137) - Bochum, GERMANY - MAR 20, 2005
(bottle) Dark red colour with frothy pink medium head. Strong sourish cherry aroma. Sweety taste with heavy cherry flavour with dry, sour and a little smoky finish. A bit perfumed. One of the better mainstream Krieks.

MesandSim (7108) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - MAY 10, 2005
not the best kriek by a long shot. aroma is that of cherry flavoured iron filings. flavour is very manufactured, slightly tart, not overly sweet but tollerable. the finish is much better tho. it looks great, beautiful ruby with a nice pink head but it dies quickly. nothing more to say really. find a better kriek
