Bottle. A cherrybomb that’s for sure. Nice deep red color and sparkling carbonation and a bit sticky texture. This is my first Lambic and i’m quite impressed.

I know it’s not the best fruit lambic out there, but as the only option readly available, I have to say I like it. It’s dark red, with beautiful pink(!?!) head. Sweet and acid aroma, with obvious cherry notes. Taste is like the aroma. I wish it was a little bit tarter, as cantillon, but that’s ok. But it is impossible to drink more than one bottle...

Zinnamon (40) - Columbus, Ohio, USA - MAY 6, 2006
Was a Washington apples red color. not a big head. Smelled like a sour candy and tasted a little like cough medicine. That seems harsh but it was a decent beer. I didn’t feel like I was drinking beer more like I was drinking some kind of fruit drink. It was light on the palate and had a refreshing sour zing in the back of my throat.

DruncanVeasey (4800) - NUNEATON, Conference North, Warwickshire, ENGLAND - JUN 8, 2007
Corked 5.1% bottle. Brilliant red pour with heaped pinkish suds. Plenty of oak, apple juice and cherrydrop fruitiness in the snout. Sweetly..well, cherryish with a countering edge of sourness and lots of drawn-out creamy vanilla malt after the swallow. Nothing complex but nicely balanced Kriek.

330mL bottle pouring hazy red with light pink head. Aroma of cherries, initial tastes of sweet cherries finishing slightly tart. Good carbonation and medium body give a good mouthfeel.

What a coinsidance. I’ve bought that beer on the same day without any discussion with ogreface. Let’s taste it! Beautiful ruby color with a nice delicate pink head. The aroma is a little sour cherry and a little barnyard. In the taste dominates the sour cherry flavour with a good&mild tartness and acidity. Nice sour afertaste. That beer was a good surprise for me(from a mass producer InBev)...

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.

...corked bottle, nice deep red color and pink head. Wheaty malt flavor, with great fruity cherry notes. Nice on the palate, not overly sweet, or overpowering. Nice blend with a balanced finish, this shit is good, but of course, expensive.
