3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Pours a deep ruby red with a slight pink head that sticks around for awhile. Nose of sweet black cherry soda, a mild hint of yeast and funk. It tastes like good dark cherry soda, but like cherry soda nonetheless. Very, very sweet. Full bodied, just enough carb and slight acidic zip to keep it from being a sugary mess.

3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draught. Hazy ruby, huge pink lacey head. Almond and candy cherry nose, sweet & sugary, but with mild sour edge. Flavor is pretty much the same, lotsa candy like cherry, almonds, little wheat. Sweet but balanced and drinkable. Medium bodied, sticky yet extremely smooth palate. One of the best bonbon beers around.

UPDATED: JUN 12, 2009 Bottle. Pours pink to ruby red with a white pink head. Aroma of cherries, cassis and bubblegum. Flavorbalance is very well between sour, sweet and bitter. This is a good kriek.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Poured a pale pink head over a ruby red body. Beautiful smell of cinnamon, cherry, sugar, and cherry bubble gum. Taste was delicious sour cherry and a host of other tart berries, well rounded approach to the bitter finish. Beautiful lambic brew. Watery and fizzy on the palate. I could drink this all night.
