Bottle. Pours a clear coppery red colour with a fluffy pinkish head that lasts a little while. Cherries are noticeable on the nose but there are also strong hints of malt, caramel and oak. Flavour is mildly tart and has notes of cherries, malt, sherbet, mineral and berries. Light bodied with high carbonation and a sweet, dry finish that lingers. Overall this is quite well balanced but isn’t particularly impressive; it seems like all the elements are muted in some way and it also verges on being too sweet. Still drinkable though.

a fiery, will scarlet rose and cinnamon colored libation, it hisses with a fine initial rush of rust-tinted champagne-like foam. slightly bready malts, toffee, and plum combine with cellar-musty yeasts to form an aromatic foundation. then, of course, you don’t have to be a pedigreed coon-hound to sniff out this wealth of sour marischino-like cherries. likewise, the oakiness is as obvious as walking through an unfinished furniture store. while i can’t help but suspecting that many of these qualities could be produced by a confectionary chef and/or a chemist-- with a lot less effort than that required by the supposed three year brewing process, this cherry hard cider malt beverage with a kind of flemish-sour acidity is rich, sweet, complex and very pleasing-- certainly a nice change of pace amid an evening beer drinking. and deserving of great accollades JUST for not resembling a cherry cough syrup.

Aroma of tart cherries and sourness. Flavor was also very sour. The flavor was very unique though. It was a little too sour for me. Not horrible but not a style I am going to seek out.

Egy különleges lambic,különleges alkalmakra.Néha megkívánom és olyankor bizony jólesik bele kortyolni ebbe a gyümölcsös italba.Az illatában,ízében végig dominál a meggy,az utóízben pedig feltűnik a komló is.Kellemes de mindennapi italnak nem tudnám elképzelni.

Dark red.
Aroma of cherries and yoghurt.
A bit sweet and beery flavor with acidic tones and some bitterness.
Too industrial kriek for my taste

Much more sour than most Krieks I've had - almost a Flemish Red in flavor and mouthfeel, reminds me a bit of the Goudenband a bit actually. The flavor just never develops beyond the sour cherry, no body and soul - just thin.

Tap. Bitter side, but not overly sour. For cherries, its a good deal. But I’m rarely in the mood for cherries in beer. Maybe like twice a year.

Got here from the alias La Becasse. Don’t know why as this is completely different from Belle-Vue. Very different taste so I can’t explain why this is listed as the same - it’s not. This pours a very dark brown-red. Cherry smell - surprise. Sweet, but dry at the same time. Little oaky. Which is not bad. I think it finishes way too dry for a kriek though. It is more lambic than kriek. Not bad.
