3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20 VTHopHead (1331) - Barre, USA - JUL 4, 2009
355ml - Pours a darkish red in color with little carbonation and a pinkish head that barely covers the top of the beer. Aroma is clearly black cherry, which I love and slightly sweet. Flavor is all about the cherries (really good). Starts sweet, but then the sourness of the cherries and the Brettanomyces. Finishes strong on the cherries and, again, slightly sweet to start and sour to finish. I am a real black cherry fan and this one did not disappoint... I really like this one...

Very good. The nose is cherry syrup and tartness. The beer is deep red with a pink head which leaves long lacing. The taste is a wonderful tart cherry. The body is medium thin with just the right tart smack. Good.
4.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20 SPDickerman (323) - Texas, USA - FEB 6, 2012
Pours fizzy dark pink with a large light pink head. Smells exclusively of cherries. Taste follows the nose perfectly; cherries with a hint of maltiness and slight tartness. Light-bodied with a prickly texture and lots of carbonation; Lindemans Kriek with a slight astringency and fruitiness.

Red pour with hints of blue, white head and lace. Aroma is huge sour cherries. Starts out with the sour cherry goes to a tart then fades to a flat dried cherry almost stale flavor. Medium bodied with aggressive carbonation. A beer I really like and could drink all the time. Very nice
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20 Thomasalias (77) - Budapest, HUNGARY - FEB 1, 2012
0,375l bottle from Belgium as gift. A very old one, I’ve got it years before. That’s why I can feel the aroma of the cork. By the way it’s a nice fruity one. Light claret color with pink head. Sweet cherry odor. Cherry aroma with a little grain. Medium cherry sour taste, like the fruit. I like it, when I can feel the taste of the fruit and the sugar doesn’t desturb it. Light body with soft carbonation and slick texture. Long sour-sweet cherry finish.

Bottle. Red color with a small pink head. Aroma of cherries with some hints of sourness. Taste, pretty the same. Too sweet for me, but drinkable.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20 hivemind (349) - New York, New York, USA - JAN 1, 2012
UPDATED: JAN 2, 2012 Bottle (750ml) from the Met split w Erica at her apt. Pours a garnet color with a frothy, patchy, clumpy, uneven pink head. Nice-looking. Aroma is wild fruit and I think a little touch of yeast. Tastes of very sweet and tart cherries/strawberry. Not sour or acidic, but very tart and sugary, which makes it mouth-puckering in a different way. Rich flavor, smooth drinking. Very good.
