hughie (3018), Bedford, Bedfordshire, England Dec 29, 2007 Dark red and slightly hazy. Some head. Sweet almondy aroma. Not by any means the worst of the sweetened commercial krieks. There is some tartness and even a hint of bitterness. elelwarren (138), SF Bay area, California, USA Dec 26, 2007 Bottle. Almost impossible to open, as it has both a bottle cap & a cork. Had I seen the cork, I may not have purchased it, as I was planning to drink on a picnic. Did not have my knife w/corkscrew, because I flew the day before w/carry-on luggage only! So it was a struggle to pry out this very saturated cork. When I did eventually open the bottle, I was disappointed by the blood red stuff inside. poured with a large head, medium lacing. Smelled of chery juice and had absolutely no beer flavors when drunk (no maltiness or yeastiness!). Sweet & sour. 3.5% is unmarked on bottle. No alcohol flavor whatsoever. Easy to drink, like a good carbonated non-alcoholic cider. Preferable over the latter, but not for the price. LordCorkscrew (939), Ronco Scrivia (GE), Italy Dec 8, 2007 Bottiglia da 33cl scaduta da 9 mesi, in un bicchiere dell’Ikea condiviso in tre. Al culmine di un’esperienza mistica nel cesso della soffitta ho creduto di sentirci la base di lambic. In realtà è una birra di frumento sciropposissima e piuttosto finta. Grande birra di merda. tomthompson89 (1460), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Dec 4, 2007 kinda a redish brown color, pink foam, kinda musty barnyard and cherries, tastes like jam decent product but not the fav BelgianBeerGal (1277), Sabbatical in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA Nov 10, 2007 Bottle poured into flute in Ghent. Red colour with a light pink head. Aroma is obviously full of cherries but the flavour was well balanced between sweet and sour. mmmbeer (737), Austin, Texas, USA Nov 7, 2007 From 12 oz bottle- poured with light carbonation, disappearing head, hard aroma of sour cherries. Hits the mouth with a thin body, nice cherry notes. Good dessert beer. LinusStick (1831), Moon Twp, suburb of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Nov 2, 2007 A middle of the road lambic. Aroma was stong and cherry. Pour was a nice deep dark amber with no head. Taste was a blah mix of cherry and dirt. I don’t know what the dirt taste is but it just comes out in the aftertaste . Strong cherry, medium carbonation and not much more. SSSteve (2049), Atlanta, Georgia, USA Oct 8, 2007 purple colored beer with no head. looks more like grape juice. aroma of robotussin. not really sour(maybe a bit tart) but very sweet. tastes ok but not very beer-like or even lambic-like. better than the "exotic". that one is just plain aweful.
