Mais uma boa Lambic de cereja. Como é de se esperar, alcool e a doçura da cereja estão em perfeita harmonia, muito bem equilibrados, num corpo róseo muito extravagante. essencial.

Bottle. Hazy pink red body with a small, persistent, pink head. Aroma-flavour floral, cherries, toffee apple, but pretty subtle in comparison to some other krieks- with a modest sour finish. Nice and not overbearing.

Poured Martin with thin head. Smelled grape, cherry, and sour funk. Tasted sour at first with nice cherry aftertaste

Nice red color, with a small white head. This is a really refreshing beer with a very nice taste. It is nowhere near all the cheap-ass kriek beers. This is state of the art kriek-brewing. It has got a nice medium sweetness and especially the sourness, that i like, makes it very refreshing...

Very strong color and aroma of wild black cherries. The flavor is Mich softer, malty, not too tart or sweet. The taste is naturally sweet. I like it.

First sips went well. As it warmed it started to taste too much like cherry flavored candy. Not very tart. Serving: Bottle

Bottle from Centra Colosseum
Deep red, pink head. Smells of grain and malts, some cherries but hidden behind the grain wall. Malty body, sour hints and cherries. Some bitter finish. As a kriek it doesn’t deliver for me. Where is the cherries and the sour acids? Aroma is so not a kriek either.

Warm red color with small pink head. Medium bodied beer with medium carbonation. Nose is, of course, cherries, but also something dusty and almonds. Taste is mild cherries, not very sour, rather sweet. I’d like to taste more of the oak-aging.
