Boutip (3294) - Gatineau, Quebec, CANADA - MAR 8, 2004
Bottle – Poured a medium reddish brew with a nice foamy head with good retention. Aroma of cheery is extremely dominant. Body is medium with good carbonation. Taste is very accentuated by cherry with some tannic on the background. The cherry taste might be a tad too juicy for my own taste. This beer lack a bit of the sourness usually founded in lambic but overall this is still a very good beer.

UPDATED: MAY 22, 2004 This is one of my favorite Krieks. It has a nice dark red body. Nice bitter cherry flavor (most Krieks are more sweet than this one but I like the bitterness!) and also a good bitter and sour aftertaste.

skaughty (622) - Marietta, Georgia, USA - MAR 29, 2004
On tap at St. Alexandre pub in Quebec City. Poured deep cherry red with a matching aroma. The scent led me to belive this was going to be too sweet. Upon tasting, I was pleasantly surprised of the balance between sweetness and tartness. It wasn't as cloying as Lindemans, or as raw as Cantillon - good stuff. I'd imagine multiple pints of this might get to the cloying stages, so this mught be best to begin or end an evening.

Love the sweet sesation of the tartness once your first sip is taken. Enjoy the sweet raspberry flavour. Not the type of beer that you can have all night, however is good to start the evening off.

Sammy (5888) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - MAY 2, 2005
Pinkish red, with retaining thin lace. Dry drink, drier than dry wines.Definate true cherry flavour. Strong carbonation tingles mouth and tongue. Satisfying and semi-sweet

Skinnyviking (5472) - Copenhagen, DENMARK - JUL 18, 2007
Bottle. High creamy and pink lasting head. Beautiful clear dark red body. Very sweet cherry aroma. Acidic fresh and nice cherry aroma with a good deal of carbonation and a long aftertaste.
