Anker (723) - Hillerřd, DENMARK - JUL 10, 2009
Bottle at Plan B Best Before 2004. It pours red in colour with a small off white head. Aroma is sweet cherry, wood and marzipan. The taste is to sweet with weak notes of cherry and prunes. Its very watery like with weak metallic notes in the sweet cherry after taste.

Decent. Tastes like sparkling juice. Alcohol is barely noticeable. Light bitterness to the finish. Very refreshing drink. No complexity, only cherry flavor.

inbirraveritas (712) - Budapest, HUNGARY - NOV 15, 2010
Kedvenc gyümölcs-lambic söröm, melyhez ezúttal csapolva volt szerencsém egy Üllői úti kocsmában… Tükrös meggypiros/rubinvörös szín, krémes és világos rózsaszínű hab, édes-fanyar, bort idéző gyümölcsös íz- és aromavilág, melyet egy kis kenyér/gabona egészít ki. Keserédes befejezése enyhén fűszeres és citrusos, teste (nekem) pont jó, jól iható, frissítő és finom.

dnas2 (705) - Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, ENGLAND - DEC 18, 2008
Bottled. Bright red, pours with a big foam head. Sweet cherry aroma, carbonated, with a slightly silky mouthfeel. Malty. Mainly sweet with some bitterness at the back. I did not think the cherry was overpowering but this might depend on chilling. Mine was served at room temperature. Nice.

Wiseblood (700) - Clarksville, Tennessee, USA - JUL 28, 2003
Dark red color - darker and more beer-like than most krieks, with a pink frothy head. Aromas of sour cherries. Tastes drier than I expected, although there is still plenty of cherry present. Smooth, creamy and sour, with a woody, oaky hint towards the finish. Aftertaste is surprisingly short and dry, with some lingering fruity notes.

shintriad (700) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - OCT 30, 2003
Ugh. Bad medicine. Interesting colour, but it tastes too artificial, even if it's natural. Maybe I'm just not a fruit beer kinda dude, but I can think of several dozen ways this could be improved. At least it's somewhat subtle.

dornoy (694) - Copenhagen, DENMARK - FEB 6, 2005
middle pinkish head on a dakr red body. Very fine for a fruit lambic. Not too bitter, just the right amount of bitterness and fruitness that suits a sweet dessert. A pleasure to drink.

Cherry aroma, sour taste. Very nice on a warm day. Not sweet. Light red colour in the glass.
