3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours a deep red with aromas of sour, light cherries. The body was medium and was sour, tart. Cherries seeped through enough and it was smoothe and easy.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle 25 cl from Boissons Center in Montagny-sur-Yverdon (CH). Pretty mahogany brown with pinkish and firm foam, fizzing low. Smell apple tart, lactic, keys of lambic and wooded. Well-balanced sweet-slightly acid, the taste is very of cerry, kernel, jammy notes, lambic and almond. Long mouth of cherry, sweet, with a refreshing acidity.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottled 375ml cage & corked from Hopduvel Warehouse, Ghent. Red brown with slightly pink head. Overwhelmingly of cherries in the aroma and then into the flavour, sweet and tart at the same time. Not much of the lambic shows through other than tartness, the rest is dominated by the cherry.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours dark reddish color with light pink head. Aroma of sweet cherries. Sweet cherry flavor with a touch of tartness. Light to medium body with mild carbonation.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
UPDATED: JUL 3, 2010 375ml bottle. Pours a colour between Ribena and red wine, with a pinkish foam. Aroma is cherries, tastes sweet but not cloying at first then bittersweet. Finishes a little dry with a woody taste on the tongue so another sup is in order. Quite nice.
750ml bottle. Bitersweet taste not so noticeable, melts from a sweet taste to rather a more savoury taste. Gave an extra point on palate.
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle [12oz] shared with HogTownHarry & garthicus -- c/o HogtownHarry. Pours a murky cherry-red with a small diminishing frothy pinkish-white head. Aroma: Yeah, love it! Lots of sweet and tart cherries along with funky yeast and citrus. Delicious flavour, again of sweet and tart cherries along with some light sugary sweetness and a hint of oak-- so easy to drink. Medium bodied. A truly fantastic beer!
4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
A classic kriek by Frank Boon. Poured into a Belle-vue glass at the Sutton Arms, 9th February 2010. Aroma distinctly tart cherries. Taste is cherries; tart, vanilla with a sour kick back. A lovely beer. Really classic. I am amazed at how consistent this beer is. Not as good as the other Boons but as a standard kriek beer you can’t go wrong with this.
