4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Bottle. Sweet aroma with lots of marzipan and cherries. Guess what? Flavour delivers every little thing the aroma promises. Cherries, marzipan and berries of other sorts underneath. I really enjoyed this beer immensely. Thx Martin!!!
4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours a blood red body with a huge fizzy strawberry head. Aroma is medicine like, Robittusin cherry cough medicine to be precise. The mouthfeel is light, low warmth, with a sweet finish. The flavor is mostly fruit based. Taste of cherry and a hint of vanilla. This beer is thirst quenching, subtle in sourness… best by 2013.

Roskilde Festival Tasting. Pours a nice deep red with a pink head. Sweet with lots of almond and marzipan. Mild sourness. Lots of sweetness with the cherries. Reminds me a bit of a good version of a Cherry Coke. Low carbonation. Very good.

3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
A Mes rate: 1993 bottle at DHVL.
A very good looking kriek, you know what to expect. This is a proper girlie drink but I do have a tendency to like such things on occasion. The Boon influence is obvious in the aroma. Full on rich cherry that is sweet as hell but then a delicate sourness coupled with a lovely dryness looms from the glass. Slightly oxidised but there is no sign of it being over the hill. There is something gorgeous in the background that I can’t put my finger on. Sadly the flavour is not in the same league. Very similar to the nose and still tasty bu there is a definite blood note that I don’t really care for and the sweetness takes over the faint acidity too much. I still enjoyed having it however.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
37.5 cl bottle, via jbrus. Pours an attractive pinkish red body that’s absolutely glowing under a one finger foamy fizzy pink tinged head. A slow recession to a thin covering left some light lacing. The nose is sweet cherry pie filling with a light tartness. Some light notes of chocolate, nougat, and lots of cherry juice. This is no Cantillon, but it’s got a more authentic nose than say the Lindeman’s line. The flavor is moderately sweet cherry juice with a little bit of a funky tinge on the finish. It’s just straight up Mom’s cherry pie. The mouthfeel is where it overtakes the average sweetened Fruit Lambic, It’s not overly sticky or cloying at all. They did a nice job of sweetening with not leaving tons of stickiness. Overall, just rating this as what it is, and not putting it in the same league as the Cantillons of the world, this was actually pretty enjoyable.
