250ml bottle. Very dark red. Fizzy pink head. Huge waft of apple, then cherry, then perfume. Absolutely enormous. Slightly schizophrenic taste. Very cherry on one hand, with a good rich malty body on the other. Likewise, a slight sourness on one hand and a soapy perfume on the other. The two sides don’t really meet. Kept thinking "is this beer?". Gluggable. A good learner kriek for those that don’t want to be shocked by the seriousness that some achieve.

Very cherry. A pretty tasty brew. Alot of tatrness and fizzy lifting bubbles. Dry.

Bottle. Alc. 3.5% Unclear dark red color with a average, fizzy, good lacing, mostly lasting, pink head. Aroma is moderate cherry berry, syntetic marzipan. Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet and light acidic with a average to long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. (260907)

pours a kool-aide red with a large thick foamy cotton-candy looking head. smell is of cherry and malt. taste is tangy, thick, very sweet, very cherry, almost like a syrup. being my first lambic, it is hard for me to judge.

12oz Bottle, from old notes. Deep red color, light pink foam. Smells like artificial cherry flavoring, like you would find in children’s candy. Taste is closer to cough medicine. Way too sweet for me, give me real Kriek, not candy.

Delicious lambic. My only problem with it is the fact that after I opened it it blew up and sprayed everywhere. The run across my new light colored carpet felt like forever and I lost half the bottle on the way. Nice strong cherry aroma. Pour was a dark red with a huge 3 finger off white head. Taste was sweet and refreshing. Sweet cherry and medium carbonation. Great.

Bottle. Pours an amazing red with a pinkish head that stays. The dominant taste is cherry and tartness. A real experience, while it shares a lot with wine coolers, the underlying taste and body is distinctly beer. Good.

Grows on you. Almost overpowering at first then mellows out as you drink it. Ruby red with thick frothy head. Aroma and taste of sweet cherries. Finishes dry.
