has aroma of cherries obviously, smells very fresh. very dark maroon colour with a thin head would get a 5 if head was bigger yet still very nice looking. tastes like cherries. a little bit sour. goes down very easily. as close to ideal as i have found.

UPDATED: JUN 10, 2007 Red pour, small pink head. Cherry aroma blast you in the face. Taste is sour cherry and raspberry mixed for a delicious beer.

For such a widely available lambic, this is quite good. It pours well with a good two-finger head and fine carbonation. It’s sweet, but not artificially so. The flavour is admittedly a little on the simple side, but is enjoyable none the less. Perhaps the perfect beer to serve with lamb if you don’t feel like having a wine. Not a beer for the fruit lambic connoisseur, but enjoyable for anyone looking for something different, or for people who don’t normally enjoy beer.

If you like your kriek sweet, syrupy, tart and just carbonated enough to be ’fresh’, you will love Belle-vue Kriek! Sure Belle-vue isn’t a purist’s lambic--but it’s tasty. Haven’t had it in a while and I really miss it.

Sampled straight from the bottle in Ieper to cap a night of lots of drinking (persistently pleaded with the the hotel late night cover boy to open the bar just for us and eventually got three bottles "to go"). A very drinkable fruit lambic, this one had enough fruit to it to be tasteful (and not a big mouthful of puckering), while not losing some of the sourness imparted by the lambic base (it was still a beer and didn’t taste like a soft drink). Aroma was cherries and apples. Flavor was mostly cherries (some tartness).

The marmite beer - like it or loathe it! I like the cherry flavour and aftertones. Colour and body is all there.

375ml bottle from the LCBO. Pours a deep red with a pink tinged head. Great cherry aroma, and nice tartness with a sweet finish.
