3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 fiercepanda (294) - Missouri, USA - JAN 20, 2012
A red beer with a barely there pink head. The aroma is dominated by cherry, of course, as is the flavor. I don’t have much experience with many lambic beers, but the flavor and aroma are pleasant, though a bit too sweet to drink a lot of.

Pours a pinkish reddish color. Aromas of cherries, almonds. Flavor is a subdued tart cherry taste, not a big as I expected. Medium bodied with a slight tart mouthfeel.

Pours a dark cherry red color with no head and little to no lacing. Aroma is cherry cough medicine. The taste is super sweet cherry soda plus a little sourness. Its more of a soda than a beer but its tasty and easy to drink.

bottle... very dark for a kriek, muddy dark purple, light purple head... the aroma is cloying sweet in the vain of lindeman’s or st louis, sweet maraschino cherries, sugar, candy, a bit tart but not enough... tastes way too sweet with an off metallic cherry sour note, weird finish, one of my least favorite sweet fruit lambics but still crushable... only for a beginner
2.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20 kidmartinek (1844) - austin, Texas, USA - SEP 18, 2011
Slight reddish color, but mostly amber. White head holds. Sweet cherry aroma and flavor. A little cloudy. It’s just too sweet though and tastes like sucralose, etc.
2.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20 Benjii (2395) - Edinburgh, SCOTLAND - SEP 17, 2011
On keg at S.Brevinga Alus un viskija salons, Riga. Pours a red colour with a fair pink head. Aroma and flavours very sweet with cherry and not much else. A foamy mouth-feel and a light tart lemon finish attempt to convince that this is actually beer and not confectionary. Moderate carbonation and a light CO2 prickle. Too sweet and artificial for me.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20 J_man (416) - Tustin, California, USA - SEP 16, 2011
Starts off with a sweet and tart cherry aroma. Very vibrant red color with an amber tinge and a fine, lacy head. The aroma makes you think this might be another sickly sweet cherry lambic, but the first taste allays that fear. A rich cherry flavor comes through with the sweet/tart flavor. A sourness follows that keeps the sweetness in check. Finishes with more sweet cherry flavor and a puckering sourness on the tongue. Excellent cherry lambic.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 10/20 MattH (389) - California, USA - SEP 10, 2011
8 oz bottle. Pours a bright maraschino cherry red. Taste of sweet cherry with a hint of alcohol. Not a bad flavor, but more like cherry soda than a beer.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20 scarletfire65 (522) - Rockaway Park, New York, USA - SEP 4, 2011
Bottle at Rockaway Seafood Company for dessert. Clear pale pinkish red color, small but tight head. Aroma is fresh cherry juice, slightly medicinal. Light bodied with spritzy, champagne like carbonation. Has an authentic cherry infusion flavor. The finish is outstanding, very long, first sweet, then tart, then sweet, then tart, then just perfect balance and harmony. Really good.
