Not a good kriek. Too sweet and way to much in the line of a cherry wine. Neither the aroma nor the taste were a huge pleasure. Not nasty as such, but try to avoid it.

Pours a pretty cherry red with brown and alot of sediment. A nice sour presence pervades the area, followed by some vinegar toward the end of the pour. My wife drank much of the bottle, but I got enough to have formed an impression. Not bone-dry like other krieks, but with a wine-like quality, little residual sweetness. Cherry and oak up front. A striking amount of vinegar. Different. Slight medicinal component.

375 ml bottle. Deep cherry red color, pinkish head. Sweet-and-sour cherry aroma. Sweet fruity flavor. High carbonation. Not much of a kriek, lacking the proper sour flavor.

Nice ruby red body with a fizzy but long sustained pink head. Strong sweet cherry pie filling aroma with some acidity, berries and candy notes. Sweet and sour cherries in the mouth with a short, dry, tart sparkly finish. Clean and refreshing but full of subtle complexities.

Ruby red pour with a small, fizzy, pink head. The smell is predominately cherry with some hints of citrus. Taste is of sour cherries and sugar, begins sour on the buds and then turns a nice bitter. Fantastic! Palate is a bit syrupy, with lively carbonation. Great lambic.

Reddish pour with a pink tinged head. Musty yeast aroma with big cherry presence. Flavor is sweet and tart, musty and sour with a pleasant bite. Not bad.
