3.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 Drew (2411) - Kent, Ohio, USA - JUN 11, 2004
This was a nice mellow kriek. Smelled cherries as soon as the I pulled out the cork - opened with a quiet pop, and when I started pouring I thought that maybe this was going to be flat. Luckilly, it developed a thick fluffy pink head on top of the hazy red body. Also had great sticky lacing. Taste was mellower than expected, but smooth and full of semi tart cherry. Hints of sourness, but I would’ve preferred more. Finish was slightly bitter, woody, almost like cherry pits.

Cherry red colour with a medium size lasting off white head and good lacing. Mainly cherry flavours with an oily texture that lasted well into the finish, some wood characters which would come from the oak maturation. Nice beer but a bit too sweet for my liking, it would be good with chocolate at the end of a meal.

3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 sayravai (4526) - Helsinki, FINLAND - JUL 25, 2004
UPDATED: AUG 12, 2006 (Bottled, 0.375l) Very deep, clear, red color with a large, big-bubbly and cloudy, lasting head. Sweet-candyish, slightly acidic, berryish cherry aroma. Sweet, very slightly tart cherry-candy flavor with a quick, drier cherry stone finish. Medium-bodied, a bit thin, moderately sugary, slightly foamy-carbonated palate. An easy, but quite uninteresting dessert lambic.

Bottled. A deep red coloured beer with an off-white patchy head. The aroma is cherries and cherry stones. The taste is fruity and clean. There are no lambic sour notes at all, nor it is sweet. This is a nice enough drink but a bit safe and plain.

UPDATED: DEC 13, 2006 A very nice dark cherry aroma with dark red color. Flavor of dark cherry but rather weak - did not match what I anticipated from the aroma. Shared with a group - the guys hated it and the girls liked it - there you go. Addendum: Had a bottle cellared for about 18 months, a totally different beer - aroma takes on the more traditional mustiness with cherry sweetness greatly fading. Flavor matches aroma - a musty, dry light cherry flavor. Aging made this much more like a traditional lambic.
