| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 14, 2003 Dutch ratebeer meeting. Bottled 0.7 liter, best before 1990. Orange-amber coloured. Fine kriek. Old oak aroma, cork, sweet cherry 'krieken'. Bit sirupy, but not too much. More sour than sweet, which is a thing i like. jerohen (1612), Bussum, Netherlands
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 14, 2003 Dutch ratebeer meeting. Bottled 0.7 liter, best before 1990. Orange-amber coloured. Aroma of cork and fruits, a bit muffy as well, pretty good. Full flavoured, thick mouthfeel, very fruity. I'm not a great fan of young krieks, but at this age (approx. 15 years) it's very nice.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 25, 2003 Pretty decent beer. Quite sweet but had a nice finish. Of course teh cherry dominates but there is evidence of some nice wheat in this one. Perfect for summer. MrRomero (1934), Nolanville, Texas, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Nov 10, 2003 Pours a bright red with a fluffy slightly pink head. Had a moderately vinegary aroma. It has a nice contrast between sweet and sour. Very nice. FlacoAlto (2473), Tucson, Arizona, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 4, 2003 This beer is quite brilliantly cherry colored. The nose contains a bit of cherry as well as an aroma of acidity. With the bright red color I was expecting a quite sweet product. I was pleasantly surprised when it was only subtly sweet. The light sweetness balanced well with the cherry flavor and the natural acidity of the base Lambic.

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Sep 9, 2003 Very red/pink colour with a surprisingly nice head. My first impressions of the aroma was not too good (sour yoghurt) but this quickly changed too a nice sweet, yet refreshing nose with cherries. This goes for the flavour too: sweet, sparkling, refreshing (acidic), and with a somewhat dry finish. This might work well as an aperitif? fiulijn (7150), Como; Lausanne (CH); Malmö (SWE), Italy
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Sep 8, 2003 With elderberries Ruby-amber color, pale pink head. Very light cherry syrup aroma. Dry taste, with some fruits, but too poor. JorisPPattyn (5163), Antwerpen, Belgium
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Sep 1, 2003 Red with purple shine; pink head nearly immediately gone. Typical nose with solvent, paintstripper, estery too, rather than fruity. Sweet-sour taste, with interesting connotations as tamarind pulp, sweet fruits, smokey. Rather refreshing mouthfeel. In the aftertaste a decent bitter-woodiness is traceable. All in all not bad - just a little more outspoken sour cherries would be more convincing, instead of interesting.
