k4df4l (133), DTown, Pennsylvania, USA Apr 26, 2008 Tap - dark ruby with a purplish/pink light layer of foam that quickly subsides into faint bubbles around the rim of the glass. Ample carbonation present as bubbles race to the surface through out. Aroma predominantly of sweet cherries. Flavor is initially sweet black cherry and berries which gives way to a tart finish and spritzy carbonation on the tongue with a very faint hint of alcohol but nothing to indicate 8%.
LilBeerDoctor (313), East Setauket, New York, USA Jul 26, 2008 Bottle. Pours red with a light pink head. Aroma and flavor of sweet candy cherries, cough syrup. Very sweet and sugary. One of my favorite beers from back in the day. Nice, sweet, and tasty. plovmand (420), Helsinge, Denmark Jul 21, 2008 On tap at Kulminator, Antwerp.
Pours reddish brown with a huge pink head. Heavy aroma of sour cherries with some notes of oak. Flavour is pretty sweet cherry, oak and some other dark fruits. kkearn (599), philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 21, 2008 750 mL bottle. Pours reddish brown, capped with a moderate sized pink-white head. Aroma of sour cherry, with some wood and nuttiness. Tart, sour cherry flavor, with some wood and malt. Long, mildly tart finish. Cherry flavor is slightly medicinal and a bit synthetic, but its still enjoyable. BoBoChamp (329), Gent, Belgium Jul 21, 2008 33cl, from De Hopduvel Gent, strong sweet kriek, heavy, clear, small head, nice brew, but too sweet KnN (219), Greenbelt, Maryland, USA Jul 19, 2008 Pours a deep ruby color with almost no head. Aroma is straight cherry cough syrup with no other hints of anything really present.
Flavor is more of the same. Cloying, sweet, like cherry syrup from an Italian ice place. There are definitely other better cherry beers out there.
