3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
From a 22 oz bottle shared at home. Pours a reddish amber with an off white head. Cherry aroma. Flavors of figs and raisins, along with sour cherries. Smooth, tart finish.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle. Bright red, almost candy-colored, with a big, poofy, piled-high foam topping. There’s not much of an overt aroma, maybe just the barest hint of fruit here. And the drink is equally understated, certainly carrying some cherry-laden fruitiness, but it’s really quite finessed, not an over-the-top cherr pie in a glass that many krieks can be. Enjoyable.

3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Aroma is lemony funk with obvious cherries and slight wood. Smells great. Color is clear scarlet with a slight off white pink head. Taste is subdued cherry upfront, slight sour, raspberries, really pretty simple.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. Bright red pour with pink white head. Nice juicy, natural cherry aroma. Taste is really fruity, really sweet, cherry pie/juicy but not syrupy. Medium body, light carbonation. A bit sweet for my taste, but an interesting fruit beer.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 14/20
Intense red with quickly dissipating pinkish foam. Pleasent aroma of cherry gives away to a light tingly body with a rubbish dryness all around.

4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
This Gorgeous cherry red colored beer has a very strong aroma of cherries. A strong sour taste finishes sweet. The kriekenbier is very well tempered by the ale they blended it with. An amazingly well put together beer.

2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Interesting. Pours a beautiful red with light white head. Smells like cherries of course. Taste is very sparkling wine, with some cherries. Not much ale. Slightly tarty finish. Good for a Kriek, but wouldn't want too much.

Bomber. Pours a beautiful cherry red with a thin pink head. Aroma of cherry pie. Dough and tart cherries. Yummy. Nice tart cherry flavor. Tartness subsides and then comes a sweet finish. Good carbonation. Very cherry all over. Awesome fruit beer. Not too sweet and not too tart. Love this!
