Serve in Flute, Tumbler

Bottle. Pours pink with a white head. Nose is sweet. Body is too watery for a kriek. Unbalanced in lack of bitterness and also lacking in aroma. Only hints of cassis and cherries.

I tasted this beer before I got my account with ratebeer, so I can’t really remember all the flavors.

Pours a pinkish reddish color. Aromas of cherries, almonds. Flavor is a subdued tart cherry taste, not a big as I expected. Medium bodied with a slight tart mouthfeel. This is a great beer.

Bottle (in NZ), pours a pinkish red with a large fluffy off white head and plenty of carbonation. Note of sweet cherries and butter, with a final sourness. A creamy palate, with only a moderate dryness after the swallow, when the cherries come through a little more. A little too sweet for me on the tongue and lacks the sourness of a good lambic.

Draught. Clear red with huge light pink head. Little aroma, mainly cherries. Light body, well carbonated. Flavour is obviously cherries, but well balanced with lambic. Not subtle, but not over the top like many krieks. A very nice kriek / fruit lambic; well balanced and drinkable.

Bouteille de 375 ml. - Dégusté avec frech tickler. Une biere de couleur rouge avec un mince collet rosé et tres collant. Odeur d’alcohol, cerises, sucres et un peu de noix. Gout de sucre et de cerises.

Clear deep red, with nice lasting pink head. Aroma of aritficial cherries and marzipan. Some cinnamon develops in mouth. Flavour is very sweet.
