Sample @ Gastropub Tuulensuu Kriek tasting. Originally rated on 30.10.2010. Excellent, well balanced kriek.

Clear red with a pink head. Cocktail cherries, pilsner malt, wood and just a weird and totally misplaced flavour that reminds me of tarragon. Thin and weird kriek.

Ruby with a large pink head, heavy lacing. Overly sweet cherry, wood, light citrus and balsamic characteristics. Flavor is dryer, sweet still, cherry, lightly sugary, and hints of rind. Very sticky throughout, and overall, way too sweet.

Non amo molto lo stile. Troppo fruttata per i miei gusti. Questa però è un ottimo aperitivo: amarognola con finale acido.

Keg at Mes & Sims wedding. Well balanced, the fruity swetness takes the edge of the sourness. The acidity is there underneath, though. Lovely.

Keg at The Wedding. Pours clearish red with a sturdy, light pink head. Plenty of crisp, tart berries in the nose. Flavor is light to medium sweet with a tart, mild sour bite. Medium bodied with lively carbonation. Crisp and refreshing on the finish, some light fruitiness lingering. Solid.
