3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
This is a nice lambic, with an agreeable balance of tart sourness and sweetness, both of those qualities are blended nicely. This is the sweetest kriek I prefer, I might buy more for use with desserts.

8.4 oz. bottle. Pours ruby read with brownish lo-lights. A slight skim of sudsy foam floats around the top then dissipates. smell is cherry with a strong sour malt smell backing it up. Taste is cherry sours up front with a nice sweet malt finish that hold in the back of your throat. Mouthfeel is medium to full with pretty low carbonation. It really rolls over your tongue. This is a nice tasty fruit brew.

From a small bottle purchased at By The Bottle in Vancouver, WA--Poured a lavish deep red body with a small pink head. Super cherry nose, like syrup. Over the top maraschino scent. Smooth and thick, but a little bit goes a long, long way.

didn’t expect much from this beer but I was impressed. It pours with a red body topped by a thin head with little lacing. The aroma is full of sweet marichino (sp?) cherries with slight malt notes. The flavor is slightly sour yet sweet with tons of marichino(sp? again) and a hint of malt. Light bodied, smooth and dry.It’s no New Glarus,but what is? Overall good.This would be a good beer to get someone into craft brew.

Bottle labeled ";Cherish"; purchased at State Line Liquors in Elkton, MD. Poured a deep ruby with a thin pink head into my snifter. Smells like cherry cough syrup, slightly sour. Taste is tart and wheaty, not nearly as much cherry character as I had hoped for. Finishes a little weak, no cherry or sour character remains, just wheat. Not bad.

I’ve seen this sitting at Tip Top restaurant next to my house for a couple of years, now I’ve decided to buy one. No date, but a code of 07KF. Initial aroma is some musty cardboard, with a huge fluffy head that settles very slowly. No cherry aroma to speak of. Deep red color. No floaties and maybe a hint of sediment. Taste is sweetish, gritty?, Sourness is very mild. Not bad, just a little past it’s prime. Woohoo, one more sour rating. This is by far the lowest I’ve rated a sour. Wouldn’t mind rerating fresh.
