Deep purple with medium light red head... cherry malt aroma with a strong tart cherry flavor... very sweet... Kriek’s are typically my fav lambic
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
A very deep red with a thin purple head. Very heavy cherry fruit note with some light tartness. Flavor mimics the nose. Sugary feel to this lighter brew. Very easy to down as it tastes almost like cherry juice with just a slightly more tart/light farmhouse note to it. Overall a decent brew.

Pours a deep red color with a fine white head to it. Smells just like Vicks 44. Has a nice cherry. Has a nice cherry flavor up front but turns out very sweet. Way to sweet for me.
3.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 10/20
As far as Kriek, this is a completely different ballgame than the Cantillon, but the uninitiated will appreciate this with awe, as it tastes no more strong than a sparkling grape juice.
Appearance = pretty to look at. Dark red liquid with a light pink head and lacing.
Smell - cherries cherries cherries and a smidgen of a wine-smell
Taste - I prefer the Cantillon, but as said before it’s difficult to compare the two as the Lindeman’s overrides the sour taste with a whole load of sweet. It’s enjoyable.
Mouthfeel - yet another parallel to sparkling grape juice.
All things equal, I’d rather drink a Cantillon Kriek, but this is an easy to drink brew.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
750ml bottle. Pours ruby red with a soft fluffy pink head.Smells of cherry soda and a nice rich red wine. Tastes like black cherry syrup mixed with sprite or 7-up. No beer grain flavors at all. Tastes like a kids drink. Very easy to drink. Tastes like a mix of brut and black cherries. Very sweet and a long sweet aftertaste.

750ml poured into Chimay glass. Pours red with head. Nice strong cherry aroma. Taste is off cherry occasionally medicinal. Alright, nothing special.

750mL bottle. Tried this after falling in love with lambics - but I must say that the Framboise is much better.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
