Wow, never thought I would find a fruit beer I liked. Poured a deep red with foamy red head. Very strong aroma of fresh cherries. Medium carbonated, taste of fresh, slightly sour black cherries just like mom and dad used to make us pick. Reminded me of eating them right off the tree.

I didn’t like this drink. I had New Glarus’ Belgain Red, which was delicious. This had a great smell and looked good, but the taste didn’t appeal to me as much as New Glarus’ brew. I really disliked the palate.

1 pint 9.4 oz bottle. Poured a deep cheery color and a small pink head. The aroma was exactly the scent of cherry cough syrup. The taste was almost the same, very syrup-cherry consistancy and I really didn’t enjoy it and I wouldn’t buy it ever again.

Botte 0,5l at 3,5%. Deep red colour. A quite shortlived pink head. A bubbling first impression then there is raspberry again and again. Tried it together with cloudberry with sugar and cream - and it was defenitely a nice combination as a dessert.

I don’t know anything about fruit lambics, but Lindemans Kriek is a nice start to the style. It smelled of cherries, of course. Specifically, it reminded me of those cherry Twizzlers Bites. The color was magenta-red, with a light pink ring of head around the tulip glass. The flavor was a sort of musty tart cherry, but still very delicious. This was a good and unique beer.

Very carbonated. No head or lacing left in glass. Sweet cherry and raspberry taste with very sour aftertaste. I usually do not drink lambic. This one was good

250ml bottle (Alc.3.5%) from Alko in Finland. Hazy reddish body and head. Lambic aroma. Flavour is a mixture of cherry sweetness and sourness. Lively carbonated. Not my kind of beer - taste more like some sweet mineral water.

Bottle. Cloudy red/fuchsia in colour with a pink frothy head that leave lost of lacing behind. Aroma is pretty much all cherry. Sweet Cherry flavours a little tart, with a creamy mouthfeel but a dry finish.
