3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Pours a ruby hazy beer with a pink head. Aroma is sour cherries, barnyard funkiness, and a sweet nose. Falvor is that with a light sourness and a strong passion of cherries. I enjoyed this one.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle. Sweet cherry cordial flavour, medicinal, but with just enough sourness to make it bareable to drink, tart i guess you’d call it. A little artificial.
3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle: Dark crimson red color, pinkish head, light lacing. The nose is fairly sweet and tart with light cherry notes and a bit of malt. Lots of sugary sweet syrupy cherry notes and a bit of vitamin C and a dextrous body. A bit funky, but still 2 dimentional.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle. Staff recommendation to try to nudge a wine drinker a few steps closer to the beer world. Bright red, medium pink head, scant lacing. Aroma of cherries (no kidding). Taste is midway between a sweet geuze like Lindeman’s and a more traditional sour. Inoffensive, and useful for its purpose.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
UPDATED: JUL 8, 2005 When the bartender poured me this "Cherish Kriek," he told me it tasted like a cherry cobbler. Darned if he wasn’t right. Light red with a pink head, it has a sweet cherry aroma and flavor, giving a touch of the tart only on the finish. Nice drink. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/events-detail.asp?eve Fest at Delilah’s, Chicago, IL 06/04/2005<font size=-1>
2.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
Head is initially small, fizzy, off-white, mostly lasting. Body is
hazy medium amber, dense tiny particles. Aroma is mostly artificial cherry, lightly malty (light bread).
Flavor is heavily sweet,
moderately acidic. Finish is lightly sweet, lightly acidic. Medium
body, syrupy texture, lively carbonation, lightly
astringent. Too sweet, smells and tastes like cough syrup.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
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.
2.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
I generally do not like krieks very much. They’re too girlish and reminds you too much of some soft-drink. This is probably the best. For once, the aroma is not artificial, but it really smells of real cherries. However, I still think it’s wrong to ruin a great lambic by adding fruit.
2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
Bottle. Smells like cherry syrup mixed with sour milk. Cloudy brownish-red color with very slight head. Light cherry Kool-Aid flavor initally that is stopped by a quick bitter metallic flavor and ends with a watered down sour/musty flavor like a watered down gueuze. Too sweet for a traditional lambic and too poorly blended to be enjoyed by those who like sweet fruit lambics.

Clear cherry red color, big pink head. Sweet cherry scent, mix of sour cherry and the bitter seed. Rather sour cherry taste, a bit sweet to begin with and ends a bit bitter seedy, but dominating sour. Medium mouthfeel, a bit puckering. Low bitterness, sweet aftertaste.
