Sint-Pieters-Leeuw, Belgium

Serve in Flute, Tumbler

Moderate tan head. Rich brown/reddish color. Not overpoweringly cherry flavored, which is nice. The oak comes through rather nicely.

Nicely done. More sour than Lindemans or New Glarus lambics, but it’s no Flemish Red Ale. Too bad.

Pale pink weak head. Bright deep red color. Aroma is fruity, cherry and slighly acidic. Flavor is cherry too and slightly sour, ending in a sweet and moderately acidic long finish. Medium bodied.

Beautiful ruby colour ("gore-coloured" said my girlfriend, sometimes that woman really scares me!!)Well-balanced cherry-aroma. Not as sour as Cantillion, but not as sweet as Lindeman. I liked this Kriek.

Ruby hued with a foamy tan/pink head. A sweet & tart aroma like cherry pie filling. Initially a maoderate sweetness with a pleasant tart middle and a mild bitter follow. This was a treat to find out here in the far reaches of northern Japan.

Pours with a decent head. Red but slight brown around the rim, as you would find with an aged red wine. Cherry, to be sure, but changes in the mouth to suggest strawberry and raspberry. The sweetness really hit my mouth a bit hard--a bit artificial to that extent. (on tap, Lowlander, Drury Lane, London)

Dark red color with a red head. Cherry aroma. Slightly sour cherry flavor that is on top of a good wheat base. Not much sugar noticeable. Nice.

Poured a deep red with foamy pink-white head. Aromas of cherry. Sweet cherry taste with slight tartness and a hint of maltiness. slight lingering hop taste. Lacing on the glass, though no head retention.
