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.

What a nice taste, this was a brightful cherry delight. Soft sweet smell, reminds me of hiwanian punch with some alcohol taste... This beer would go down just to easy... Loved it...

cherry cough syrup - in a good way; red with pink head; tart, not-too-sweet; perfect beer to cut hoppy bitterness

Good, but the cherries were a little overpowering. Tasted more like the cherry juice had JUST been added to the brew, and in a large quantity. Had a strange aftertase that I did not really care for.

Draught. Nice red colour, creamy foam. Cherry taste (for sure!), like a siroup. Quite long end especially on the lips.

I found this a fun brew to try. Bottle, pours a dark maroon red. A pinkish head laces the bottle. Cherries describes it’s aroma well, citrus and maybe wine. Taste acidic, cherries mixxed with a heavy tart. I enjoyed this brew, something very new for me at this point. I look forward to running into others.

This beer smelled like cherries and tasted like cherries too. However, I found it too sweet to be enjoyed for more than a bottle. Would make a lovely gift, though.

Color dark red (could have been the lighting), less synthetic in odor and taste than some krieks. Taste is cherries, slightly sour. Overall a nice kriek beer.
