COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
The Bios Kriek Lambic is sold under the CHERISH label in the USA and outside Europe. Everybody likes the right balance between the sourness of the Lambic and the sweetness of the fruit, in this case cherries. The aroma of the cherries is not too dominant, as it should be. The beer gives a very pleasant and refreshing feeling in the mouth, with a smooth cherry aftertaste. The Bios Kriek Lambic is an excellent thirst quencher, low in alcohol (5 % by volume) and great to drink at parties. True Lambic lovers prefer the Bios Kriek Lambic so much because you taste slightly more of the Lambic sourness, than in some more commercial Belgian Lambics, wherein the artificial sweetness is too strong.

durhambeer (2028) - Durham, North Carolina, USA - MAR 2, 2008
Huge bubbly pink head that died down to a nice yeasty looking one. Hazy light red pour. Bit of a metallic taste in the head. Tart creamy sour cherry taste. Quite yeasty and bit metallic at the end. Novelty and I doubt I’ll buy again.

Amber, reddish colour with a beige head. Cherry fruity aroma with a light tart note and hints of marzipan. Light tart cherry fruity flavor with hints of wood. Dry, light dusty finish.

KnutAlbert (4377) - Oslo, NORWAY - JAN 28, 2008
Bottled. Smells like Danish cherry wine. Very sweet, not much of a carbonation. Not much of a beer taste, either, mostly fruit.

larsga (4435) - Oslo, NORWAY - JAN 25, 2008
Small slightly pink head. Deep slightly hazy red body. Cherry yoghurt aroma. Sourish cherry, wood, and yoghurt taste. Nice and harmonic. Not too exciting, but definitely decent. (0.25l bottle with gr0ve.)

CapFlu (3767) - Victoria, British Columbia, CANADA - JAN 7, 2008
(300ml bottle) Cherish Kriek Lambic purchased from Whole Foods in Seattle for $3.29. Very Halls cherry throat lozenge. Gross!

alobar (1865) - Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA - JAN 1, 2008
Pours an odd pinkish-red color with a tall carbonated white head. Sweet aroma of cherries. A bit weak on the taste, though flavor has fruit and tartness associated with a lambic.

FatPhil (5970) - Tallinn, ESTONIA - DEC 30, 2007
Draught (Dickens, Riga) Dull red, thin head. Crisp sweet cherry aroma. Cherry taste not too dominant, and fades to a pleasantly creamy light malt body. Unexciting, but very drinkable.

nuplastikk (2445) - Madison, Wisconsin, USA - DEC 14, 2007
8.4oz bottle. Murky reddish-brown color. Cherry flavors come off a with a little more of a subtle and natural taste than some other commercial lambics. Some malt backbone shines through, not unlike a Flemish sour ale.
