3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
First true lambic after having Sam Adams Cranberry Lambic (awful). Pleasantly surprised. Cherry red with an almost pink head. Aroma of cough syrup and cherry Twizzlers. Very fruity and flavorful with lively carbonation. Not much that makes it a beer in my books but tasty nonetheless. Not too tart. Would like to try their other flavors as well.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
First kriek lambic. Hell, at least I know now. Not my favorite. Poured a deep syrupy red with pink tinged foam on top. Aroma is a mix between Twizzlers licorice and cough syrup. Flavor was fake-ish cherry, super tart bitter tang I’m guessing from the wild ferment, and very sweet sugar. Blegh.

Tastes a little like cough syrup. Nothing to write home about, but if you love cherries then go out and get this one.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Red beer with a pink head. Aroma is that of sweet cherries. Flavour very sweet and siropy. I rated a bottle that has aged for 7 years. A lot of the sweetness has gone and it’s even a bit sour. Very drinkable as long as you’re patient enough. Otherwise it’s just like drinking sugarwater with cherry taste. (Bottle 25cl, corked bottle 37,5cl, corked bottle 75cl, tap (not aged ofcourse))
3.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle. Cloudy purple-reddish pour with a nice sized fizzy light pink head. Aroma of sugar and cherries. Flavor dominated by cherries with some faint malt present. My first venture into lambics, not too shabby but need to weigh other offerings too.
2.3 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
Great aroma, but that’s all.Artificial, too sweet, like cherry lemonade.
Nothing good compared to other Krieks.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Liquid cherry Ludens cough medicine with a hint of lemon drop. Rose colored brew with a small cotton-candy colored head. Aroma definitely exhibits an artificial cherry extract quality. Medium mouthfeel. Quite sweet for a Kriek.

UPDATED: MAY 2, 2010 I really like this one. Very nice and sweet taste of cherries and almonds. Very rich and refreshing and I just want to take another sip. The only downside is the colour which looks a bit diluted. It also goes excellent with some truffels. I had it last night with some home made chocolate, porter and coffe ice cream and it fit perfectly as well. Try this with a dark chocolate dessert and you wont be dissapointed.
