asheft (2030) - Ottawa, Ontario, CANADA - JAN 26, 2005
Clear brownish ruby with a rocky, white head that dissipates rather quickly to leave some lace and iceburgs. Musty and sour aroma with lots of cherry. Flavour is a woody cherry with some medicinal taste. Good balance of sourness and bitter, but a little too sweet. Through all the cherry, I could actually detect some malt in this lambic. Medium body and not enough carbonation. A bit off balance.

It’s a nice reddish kriek with ditto head. It has cherries in aroma and flavour. It’s not sticky sweet, but on the sweet side, and it has just enough acidity to balance the overall impression.

sliffy (2035) - Columbus, Ohio, USA - DEC 28, 2007
Bottle: Pours a clear red with no head. Aroma, tart cherry, some sugars, sweet smelling. Flavor, cherries, some slight tartness, very low acidity, and definitely on the sweet side, more lindemans than cantillon. Oh well.

oldrtybastrd (3228) - Doha, Qatar/Great Falls, Montana, USA - JAN 1, 2012
On tap @ the Top-Off, Camp As Sayliyah, Doha Qatar. Crystal clear ruby red beer with a cherry and wood aroma. Light bitter, mellow without the overly sweet taste I was expecting. Very nice mild cherry taste. An ok kriek outside of Belgium.

A nice lambic. The acidity hit me in the head the same way Rodenbach Grand Cru does. A lot of fun sometimes, but not something I could stock my fridge with.

Bottle, purchased in a cafe in Brussels. Poured a deep dark red colour,with a foamy pinkish beige head. Dominant cherry aroma and sweet taste of malt flavors with some spiciness and hints of hoppiness in the finish. .

jalichio999 (502) - BRAZIL - NOV 27, 2007
UPDATED: AUG 28, 2008 Pressão: tomada em Brugge, Bélgica, em novembro/2007. Coloração vermelha com creme rosa consistente e persistente. Notas agradáveis de cereja sem parecer artificial. Há um leve amargor que a diferencia de uma cidra. Características sutis de cerveja. Nota: 4,1. Garrafa: tomada em janeiro/2008, em Santos. Coloração vermelha, creme rosa. Tem um paladar salgado, diferente. Gostosa, mas nada de excepcional. Traz consigo algo de artificial. Nota: 3,2.

Bottle. Cherry, sweet, chewing gum, quite refreshing! Small frothy head, mostly dimishing. The body is dark red coloured. Sweet beginning on the palate, the finish is a little bit bitter. The duration is medium. Light to medium on the palate, dry texture, soft carbonation.
