Mar 15, 2007 (Bottled) Sonewhat hazy, deep red color with a smallish, pink head. Sweet, but reasonably natural aroma of cherries. Very sweet cherry flavor with an inch of acididity, but hardly even a hint of tartness. Light to medium-bodied, sticky-sugary palate with low to medium carbonation. Another potentially drinkable, even somewhat natural kriek spoiled with excess sugar...

Mar 8, 2007 Bottle. Frothy white almost no head. Dark red colour. Powerfull cheery aroma. Not so good flavor. Very sweet and too acetic. Average finish. Watery syrupy palate.

Feb 25, 2007 Astonishingly, not 100% sweet. Sweet in the front, yes. Sweet in the end, yes. But--but!--a slight hint of tart sourness nestled somewhere in the middle. To be sure, it’s not much, but it’s there. Also less artificial-tasting in the fruit department than other de Troch beers.

Feb 22, 2007 Dark red coloured, some light carbonation with a small pink head. Artificial cherry aroma, sweets candy like. Medium sweet cherry taste. Finish is again sweet cherry with an artificial candy touch. Rather medium one.

Feb 7, 2007 Hazy reddish body with a few pink bubbles around the edge of the glass. A hint of real, sour cherries in the aroma, but more dominating is the cherry flavored cough syrup. As for the taste, well...a sugar sweetness at the start, followed by cherry flavored gummy candy, much like Swedish fish, and a slight finish of vinegar sourness. This might be good as a first intoduction to the style, but not something I like very much at all.

Jan 14, 2007 Poured a hazy auburn red with a quickly dissipating thin white head. Moderate cherry and fruity acidity in the aroma. I was surprised by the first sip. The acidity was truly right for a lambic. Unfortunatley, it was only a fleeting glimpse. Every sip had that flavor, but it was oh so brief. I think the cherry part of this brew seems almost artificial.

Jan 11, 2007 Bottle: Poured a dark red with light white head. Sweet cherry aroma. Sour watery cherry flavor. Not impressive for this style!

Oct 6, 2006 Updated: Oct 9, 2006Deep red body with no head. Aroma and taste of sangria. Grapes, wine, tropical fruits, sweet, no carbonation, no acidity, limited sourness, lifeless. There had to be something wrong with my bottle. The bad news: it seems to be popular in Belgium. The good news: I can brew a kriek as good as this, and without any equipment!
