LAbeled 4.5% ABV
Deep ruby red color, fluffy pink manly head. Sweet cherry pips and raspberry scent, sugary. Sweet, acidic, sour cherry taste. A bit lactic, also metallic hints. Moussy mouthfeel, low bitterness.

At the Rake with Reakt, 9th April 2008. Bright red with not too much head, this has a stonking aroma of black cherries. Flavour is similar but nicely balanced, not too sour, not too sticky sweet. A decent cherry kriek.

Ok, I don’t remember drinking this, which is probably a good thing, but sure enough the rate’s here in my phone. Was most likely on tap @ a pub somewhere, possibly The Rake as it follows some other ratings from there? Red with a pink head. Sweet and artificial all round with a bit of cherry cough syrup to boot and some almond/marzipan notes. It’s a bit one dimensional but c’mon it’s Jacobins, if you expect otherwise you’ll be sorely disappointed.

Bottle. Deep red colour with a pink head. Aroma is almond, cherry. Flavour is cherry, almond, sweet. Nice beer.

Bottle. Pours a clear, dark red body, with a small, dense, pinkish-white head. Cherryish nose, a bit flour-like, and sure sweetish. Sweet flavor as well, with cherries of course. Boring, actually. Medium full, sticky mouthfeel, and cherryish finish. Decent. (071013)

Tap: Bloody red with a pink Head. Very sweet fruity(syrup), cherry. Hardly any sour. Medium body & sticky palate. Not a true lambic, still a nice one ("in the fake" category) Could drink my 25 cl!

Draught @ 9th Belgian Beer Weekend, Brussels. Clear medium red color with a large, frothy, good lacing, fully lasting, pink head. Aroma is cherry, sugar. Flavor is moderate sweet with a average duration. Body is light to medium, texture is watery to oily, carbonation is soft. (020907)

Bottle. Red beer with red big head. Aroma very dominated by cherries. Taste sweet in the beginning, then sour with cherry taste. Maybe a little one sided, but I like the style.

Beautiful, dark red with a huge, pink and creamy head. The aroma has nice notes of cherry and marzipan, and so does the flavour. It has a nice almond-like bitterness and a limited sweetness. It’s a nice kriek! 2045

Bottle, 25 cl. Red coloured beer with a small rose head. Aroma cherry. Fresh for a summer day, like today, but a little sweet. Light at medium body.
