Bomber - thanks Gary! Clear reddish pink pour with a pink head. Cherry all over this, but neither overly sweet nor tart. Super easy drinking. Nice.

22oz bottle in a sampler. Pours pink with a off-white head. Aroma of some cherries, sweetness, pale and caramel malts, and a light bitterness. Flavor about the same. Average texture. Nothing really stands out about this kriek.
3.6 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Dark crimson pour, fizzy violetish head. Smell is cherry pie with some cotton candy, oak, and slight plastic tone. The flavor is a bit metallic. But other than that tart and sweet cherry flavor, medium to low sourness/tartness. Bit of bittersweet in the end which is kind of off-putting. If it had a bit more sourness to cover up the bittersweet flavor it really would be a fantastic beer.
4.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Aroma is pretty light cherries are the most prevalent. Taste is very much cherry up front, then it gets pretty tart after that. I really like this beer very balanced for a sour. Really like this offering.

UPDATED: APR 22, 2013 Pouts a great ruby with a quic fading pink head.. Aroma is cherry and the taste is slight tart and cherry..kind of between a fruit and a sour.. Blandish, good one for 8$ and regretting the one I bought for 14$
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
22 ounce bottle. Served in a tulip, the beer pours dark red with a half inch light pink head that fizzled away quickly. There’s a good amount of lacing. Aroma is light and subtle, the brew smells like tart cherries, bready/grainy malt, and a bit of musty funk. Taste is similar to the aroma, but there’s also some red grapes and a floral flavor noticeable. Mouthfeel/body is light/medium, it’s a little watery with a decent amount of carbonation. I think it’s an OK beer overall, but at $16.49 a bottle I won’t be buying it again. Should have grabbed another La Folie instead!
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours a deep ruby in dark lighting. The aroma consists of cherries and pop tarts.Hints of booze and oak. Rather tame on the sour spectrum.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle pour the color of brake fluid, immediately dissipating head. Nose of tart cherry, some belgian esters, and faint malt. Taste cherry, sour, ending with some malty aftertaste.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours a ripe ruby red color with a finger of pinkish foam that dissipates quickly. The nose is round ripe cherry pie,vanilla and a touch of wet musty barrel. The palate follows the nose with a nice round cherry front end but the mid to late palate falls quite short with a wet compost funk that comes through slightly muddy destroying the enjoyable cherry notes. Not bad just nothing very special especially based on the price.
