yalnikim (800) - Wellington, NEW ZEALAND - JUN 6, 2005
Tasted 04/06/2005. 330ml bottle Regional’s, Wellington. Pale, fizzy, reddish-hue a big light pink head. Sweet aroma that is like ripe cherries and champagne. Light mouthfeel. Dry sweet flavour up front without the tartness of the Framboise (and again this is more like like champagne than your average beer). Little noticeable hop or malt influence left from what must be a pretty hungry yeast.

marcot (771) - Campomorone, ITALY - JUN 20, 2010
Bevuta in belgio a Bruges, è una tipica kriek "dolce" e non acida come le vere lambic. E’ una bibita, ma è buona da mandare giù

voota (765) - Melbourne, AUSTRALIA - SEP 2, 2006
Pours a dark coppery red, with a frothy pink head. Aroma is of faint glazed cherries and some sweet malts. The flavour is not overly sweet, but the sourness tastes a little weird and artificial. I like the amount of cherry though. The finish is quite metallic and astringent, like you have just eaten something artificial. At the end I feel like it just needs some more of something, but I guess that’s InBev for you.

haukur (740) - Reykjavik, ICELAND - JUL 1, 2005
UPDATED: JAN 14, 2007 dark red, a lot of lacing, firm head. Sampled in a smoky bar so the aroma wasnt quite there for me, nice mouthfeel, sticky and yeasty and obviously cherries, avarage but nice [re-rate] 2003 vintage, loads of cherries in the aroma, small head. Thicker palate then in the fresh sample. It has lost a bit of carbonation and replaced with a bit more complexity. Better when slightly aged

Linc (736) - Sydney, AUSTRALIA - NOV 5, 2005
Sour, artificial cherry aroma. Medicinal, spicy cherry taste with muted acid levels. Full bodied and creamy, but that’s not going to save what is a pretty sub standard beer.
