2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle at home. Clear pinkish red color with a thin white head. Aroma is of artificial cherries, citrus and sugar. Flavor is quite sour with apple, citrus and a bit of cherries, somewhat artificial but mainly just plain sour. Lingering sour finish. Quite lively carbonation and a sharp stingy mouthfeel.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Draft. Pours hazy brownish red, topped with a small off-white head. Aroma of cherry, sweeter than most krieks, with some earthy notes and oak in the background. Flavor is also sweet, with cherries, bread, and wood. Cherry flavor seems a bit medicinal.
3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
UPDATED: OCT 23, 2010 Bottled 375ml. Vintage 2006. Ordered from bierkompass.de. Surprisingly nutty for a kriek and reminiscent of marzipan throughout. Sweet. The cherry components are dissapointing. Not a good example of the style. Rerate (fresh example): Amber-red appearance. Sticky spotty lace. Metallic aroma which is reminiscent of sardines. Overly sweet. Artificial. Very low acidity. A very poor example of the style. Score of the second sampling: 5/2/5/3/11 = 2.6
3.9 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Poured bright red with large, pinkish head. The taste of cherry was not as intense as the raspberry flavour but still quite lovely. Not too sweet with almost a tangy cherry taste. Thin body with lively carbonation. Very quaffable, very refreshing, overall a great fruit beer.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bright ruby red color with small white head. Aroma of sweet cherry, and sweet wine. Taste is kind of sour and sweet. Overall kind of sweet for a beer
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. Cherry aroma. Moderate carbonation. Leaves taste of dark cherries. Rapidly loses head.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle 25 cl from La Maladière Center in Neuchâtel (CH).
Pink-red color supported, pale pink foam. Aromas of raspberry, slightly tart, a little candy flavor artificial, woody nuance and lambic. We taste with relish this kriek subtle, well-balanced, fresh, with touches of vanilla, roundness, but rather short.
