3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 8/20
Pours a murky red with a small crown of pink head and very good lacing elevates this to an A minus.
Smell is of cherry, cherry cherry. Reminds me of Kasteel Rouge, which as good as it smelled was a lackluster drinker. No hints of sourness here.
Taste is extremely light at first..unusually watery. Cherries come in the background, but this is definitely not a Cantillion or a Lindemans for that example. Oddly light..not unpleasant, just rather watery.
Mouth is thin and bubbly as it needs to be.
While I’d rather have a Cantillion Kriek anyday, this is a pleasant drink.

On tap at ’t Brugs Beertje. Clear red, small head no retention. Aroma is fruity cherry, candy and very sugary. Taste is faint sourness and very sugary. This is a sugar bomb. Not bad but still a girly drink.

4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Beautiful color, deep cherry. Little head that vainshes realatively quick. Faint, almost non-exsistent bubble, slightly viscous. Smells and tasts of cherry, dissapointingly not sour. Great on a hot day like today. This would be good poored over some good vanilla ice cream

C&C 375 mL bottle courtesy of Alraomon. Thanks! Pours a slightly hazy red color with small floating particles. Thin head. Fair head retention and lacing. Big aroma of sweet sugary cherry candy. Taste is a little bit less sweet but still has a ton of sugary sweetness. Slightly vegetal notes as well and the oak barely peeks out. Medium bodied.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Sorry xnoxhatex about your garage door and the cork... hope you can repair the damage, at least it wasn’t one of our eyes. Pours a dull dark purple with a super tall billowing pink foam. Sweet cherry and crystal sugar aroma, very sweet with acidity being secondary, some chlorine aromas as well. Flavor of dark cherries, very sweet, low acidity, not quite alco-pop though, a little bit soapy, not extremely tart either. Fluffy mouth-feel, odd carbonation, as in lots of it, uniform and airy.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
375ml bottle courtesy of JAXSON. Pours cloudy red with a half finger pink head that sticks around. The nose is cherry skins and ripe cherries. The taste is sweet cherries upfront with some sour unripe black cherry in the finish. Reminds me a bit of New Glarus Belgian Red, but not as good. Medium prickly mouthfeel. Decent lambic. Thanks Jeremy!
