Nov, 2006 Foudroyante Kriek. Frothy sweet cherry juice with beer - hints of tart sourness. An interesting and gulpable cherry shandy - fun and enjoyable, certainly not serious and sober. [2.6]
April, 2008 Lindemans Kriek Lovely sweet, cherry flavoured drink. I enjoy this stuff. A grown up kid’s delight. [2.9]

One of the best Lindeman’s. Never been one that liked cherry flavoured stuff, but considering this is *real* cherry, amazing! Very sweet and tart, pretty much all cherry as would be expected, slightly yeasty as well. Appearance is very deep burgundy, with a pink-red foamy head. Definitely don’t drink it too cold!

Cherry red color like expected. Pink head that wants to hang around. Great cherry flavor. Sweet but not too sweet.

Probably the mose popular kriek on the market today. As far as lambic goes, I am more of a fan of traditional ones ala Cantillon, but I must say, I do enjoy the sweeter Linemans from time to time. This beer pours to a beautiful, bright, deep ruby color, with a thick, pink head that fades, and a lively carbonation. The nose on this beer is very fragrant with the aromas of sweet/sour cherry, and hints of almond(from the cherry stone). The plate is crisp on the tongue with lots of very vibrant cherry flavor, on a tart, pale malt body. This beer finishes with more good cherry flavor up front, then ends very refreshing with some good sweet/sour cherry flavor that lingers. A wonderful aperitif, or desert beer, this is just a great beer to drink in warm weather, or to enjoy with a number of dishes.

Pours red with a big pink/purple Not my favorite style, good brew though. Also, a little on the pricey side.

Bottled, 0.25ltr. A bit unclear, dark red with a small pink head leaving nice lacings. The aroma is artificial cherries and almond. Sweet flavor with artificial cherries, hints of almonds and some sugar. Sticky mouthfeel and a thin body. The finish is sugary and cherry-ish. (061019)

Bottle; Nose is cherry from quite a ways away! raspberry red toned with a ring of pink bubbles around the edge. Cherry flavor with background tartness.
