Bottle- Dark red in colour with not much of a head. Tart cherry aroma. The flavour is of artificial cherry with a mild tartness and acidity.

UPDATED: AUG 30, 2009 Bottle 33 cl. Pours a dark clear red with a pinkish white head and a sour smell of citrus and red wine vinegar. Taste isn’t sour initially, it’s very sweet like cherry flavored candy with hints of caramel and brown sugar. After that a very short sour note comes by, but that lasts for less than a second. Finish is heavily sweet, like you have been eating a lollipop. Not my kriek

Bottle. Dark as hell in here so can’t really give much notes on appearance. Smells very tart and overly cherry-fied but the taste isn’t too bad. Cherry cherry cherry all over the place. Thought it was ok.
Pours clear and golden amber with a light pink head. Dry sulphorish cherry aroma. Flavour is dry cherry with a light citric note. Dry cherry finish. Simple yet seems authentic. Mild citric note too.

330ml bottle into Belle-Vue Kriek tulip glass at De Bier Haus Tauranga. Small creamy light pink lasting head, excellent lacing, deep red hue. Initially thought it looked smelled and tasted like some artificial cherry drink but at $13 for the bottle I thought I better appreciate more than just that! Aromas of cherry, raspberry, aniseed, liquorice, almond, marzipan, and mature cheese., some perfume rose. Mostly very sweet, slightly tart sour flavour. Medium bodied with oily texture, soft carbonation, long dry woody finish. Overall just very expensive cherry flavoured lolly water.

Tastes like cherry soda with less carbonation. Not sure about this one. Might make a good cough syrup.

Tap. This style is way too sweet for me. Aroma is just cherries, which I like. Flavour is just sweet, with no balance. Medium body in the palate, with an oily texture. Red colour, fizzy, with a thin, long-lasting head.
