750ml bottle pours a hazy amber with some fluffy white head. Nose is raspberry, cherry, sweet, a little wood. Flavor is cherry candies, paint thinner, nail polish remover. Super hot, acidic finish. Gross. Drain pour.

Fuck this beer blows. Paint, bark, rotten cherry, yogurt, sweaty balls, and mold. One has to really try to make a beer this bad. Boooo.

Thanks to travlr for this bottle! Opaque amber pour. Nose holds paint thinner, wood stain and polyurethane, sweet cherry, lactic yogurt; the flavor is much of the same, not any better. Awful stuff.

Bottle shared by Travlr. Pours hazy ruby with a small, fizzy white head, short retention with light lacing. Aroma is heavy phenols, cherry, straw malt, stomach acid and acetone. Flavor is sweet cherry, thin/slick texture, straw malt, phenols, and a dry finish. Light body, low warmth and carbonation.

tepid red-amber, thin white ring. Nose is hot nail polish, light cherry sweetness, bit of funky yogurt. Flavor is not as hot as Lambic de hill, cherry sweetness overriding all, nut, light paint, fatty. Heat emerges with warmth, 3 sips and my esophagus is toast. Thin, oily, cherry masks eggs and sulfur and nail polish and hell... this is nearly hell.

Pours a dark pink color, maybe red, with a light pink head. A bit acetic for a kriek, but there is some cherry in there and a fair amount of lactic acid. Not terribly complex, but decent. The flavor is also quite heavy on the vinegar and lactic acid making this a rather intense drinking experience. Some cherry flavor and a bit of lemon peel.

750mL thanks to Travlr. The pour is a hazy reddish pink with an acid cut fizzy head. Nose is way way off: huge amounts of polyurethane, acetone, paint thinner, and wet house paint. Huge chemical nose that I have to give a 1/10 for. I just cannot be around this thing. Instant headache. After 30 minutes or so the nose does clear up to medium cherry pie, but it is much too late and most people have already drain poured their samples. Taste is pickle juice/acetic acid all the way. Ears on fire! So much acetic acid heat. Small cinnamon and cherry comes through to save this beer from being a total disaster. It really doesn’t taste bad- the acetic heat is just over the top.

Foul stomach acid nose with lots of nail polish remover. Taste is similarly terrible.

Pours an orange brown, hazy with a thin white head. Rotten cherry aroma. Very pungent and unpleasant. Extremely sweet an syrupy. Slightly spoiled cherry flavor. Some barnyard. Not pleasant.

Not sure what a "kreik" is, although I’ve had plenty of Belgian krieks. Bottle. Light variegated pink color, small light pink head. Aroma of lemons and grapefruit. Taste is very sour cherries in concentrated lemon juice, profound sour finish. Unpleasant.
