From a 2000 bottle, this pours a pinkish-brown with the flimsiest of heads. The aroma is very cherry, pits, leaves, bark and all. It’s actually pretty tasty, a tart cherry flavor with some dark cherries underneath. The finish is sour and refreshing.

(Bottle 25 cl) Darkisk red with no head to speak off. Sickingly sweet with pretty much none of the acidic, refreshing edges usually found even in commercial krieks. Add to this a tang of cork and you get a beer that has failed almost completely. 220297

This was not good, tasted like fake cherries and bad beer. Sour and nothing pleasant.

12.7 oz bottle, capped & corked. Pours cloudy brownish red with hardly any head. I wonder if the green bottle has to do with turning the color of this stuff brownish. Taste cherry and some funky cheese. Not a good mix. Not reall tartness but more of stale cherries. Take a pass on this.

Bottled. Hazy red opaque colour, reddish foay head. Strong sweet cherry aroma. Semibitter cherry flavour with some strawberryish notes. Standard Kriek, but the colour was surprising.

This brewery should be ashamed for the crap they turn out. I have tried all of this swill because an ex-girlfriend loved it, I should have known about her from that. This is Cherry flavored cough syrup.

Deep ruby color with a medium pink head. Sweet cherry aroma with hints of cork. Flavor was mostly sweet/tart cherries and a strange corky aftertaste.

Dodgy blood-like colour. Very artificial cherry aroma. Cloyingly sweet, dessertwine-like flavour.
