MrManning (1942) - London, Ontario, CANADA - DEC 27, 2008
Bottle at Chaucers Pub in London, ON. Decanted deep and colourful ruby red liquid, topped with a frothy pink cap. Nice nose of cherries, yeast, some raspberry, perfume. Tastes of sweet cherries, yeasty funk, kool-air, with tart cherry towards the end, with good acidity. Pretty well balanced.

cmillward (496) - San Francisco, California, USA - DEC 22, 2008
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.

kiefdog (1826) - Tampa, Florida, USA - DEC 21, 2008
12 oz bottle from Willow Bend Liquors (Tampa, FL). Pours a clear bright red color with no head and little carbonation. Aroma is strongly of cherries, especially chocolate covered cherries; sweet and syrupy with a hint of brandy and spice. Flavor is ver sweet and tart with a syrupy mouthfeel. Some hint of woody and spicy notes as it warms. Generally full bodied with tart, sweet finish.

thornecb (2961) - Marblehead, Massachusetts, USA - DEC 20, 2008
Pours ruby into a Tumbler. Pink head with excellent retention barely recedes to coat surface. Cough syrup aromas. Tastes like the aroma - strong, sweet cherry cough syrup.

austone (1062) - Turku; Pori, FINLAND - DEC 20, 2008
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.

Bontus (481) - Waasmunster, BELGIUM - DEC 7, 2008
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.

TheJollyOne (219) - Sydney, AUSTRALIA - NOV 29, 2008
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.
