Dark blood red in color with an off-white head. Not as cherry-ish or extreme as other examples. Tart; virtually no acidity. Least favorite Kriekbier.

Nothing enjoyable about this beer. Not a big fan of cherries, I must add in all honesty.

DownsouthGav (601) - Greater London, ENGLAND - OCT 9, 2007
Nose of glazed cherries - not nice. Nose also detects yeast and a sourness. Taste is overly sweet, with some cloying. Tartness also but the cherry taste dominates and distracts, not my cup of tea at all.

Thaichile (599) - 10aFly, New Jersey, USA - JUN 26, 2006
Bottle. Pours a deep reddish brown colour with not much head. Scents of cherry permeate the nose. Those flavors continue upon sipping but are not overly sweet and make a very nice fruit beer. The cherry flavor is strong, almost like a concentrated dried cherries. A light, fun and refreshing concoction. Thanks to Blankboy for the bottle.

RobBestwick (583) - Calgary, Alberta, CANADA - JUL 29, 2003
strong and slightly acidic cherry aroma, pours with a dark red hue and a slightly red-tinged head, well laced, mild cherry flavour with moderate carbonation, quite rich and very refreshing

kermis (571) - The Hague, NETHERLANDS - MAY 28, 2011
Bottle in Brussels. Pours clear red with light pink head. Aroma of sweet cherries. Flavor of cherry and sugar. Simply too sweet.

dhurtubise (568) - Hamilton, Ontario, CANADA - AUG 23, 2002
On tap: Typical kriek lambic. But lighter in body and sweeter then some of the others i have tried.

Nordcore (566) - Lyngen alps, NORWAY - JUL 5, 2011
Can 33 cl. Deep red with a large foamy head. The aroma and taste are both lots of cherries, very sour ending. Not my favorite style...
