BigHoss (103) - Fort Worth, Texas, USA - MAY 18, 2013
Poured from a 12oz, bottle. It has a dark red color with a pink head, I smell cherry and malt. I taste all of the same. Very refreshing...

From a 33 cl. bottle. Poured dark red with a pinkish head. The cherry aroma is somewhat artificial. The carbonation is medium and the finish is tart and a little sour.

Gerbeer (857) - Vancouver, British Columbia, CANADA - APR 22, 2013
Bottle. Pours a deep red with large pink head. Aromas of sugary cherries. Flavors of dark cherries and sugar. Easy to drink but really just a malty fruit juice.

Boring beer. There’s no real balance. It’s just like a lemonade. It’s sweet. Probably great for the girls, but i’ve had better Kriek cherry beers. I prefer it if they combine the cherry sweetness with more balancing flavours like sour and bitters. This is just too sweet and one dimensional.

Douberd (625) - NETHERLANDS - APR 11, 2013
250 ml bottle, at home. Poured into a snifter. ABV 3.5%. 1.44€ Pink-red colour on the body, with a pink, thin line of foam on top.Good retention for its size, light lacing on the glass. Aroma of cherries, sugars, dirty grass. Very good, it smells very natural. Taste is sour, but then comes the sweetness from the cherries and the added sugars and balances things out, or to be more precise, cuts a bit from the sourness. Medium thick body, good carbonation. Very good and affordable lambic.

pinkzambia (1294) - Boise, Idaho, USA - MAR 26, 2013
Bottle: Deep cranberry red color with a pink fizzy head. Cherry aroma abounds, almost candy-like, akin to a red soda. Cherry soda with a slight malt finish is what I taste. Not really beer and so very tasty!

Compared to most of its competition, this beer blows them out of the water. The tartness and sweetness is a bit more balanced and less chemically. Sweet, cherry syrupy, and more watery than most.
