Bottle shard with McTapps. Bit artificial in the aroma with sweetish cherries. Taste is quite ok. Sweet cherries and some cheap beer in the background. Drinkable, but with a too artifical overload in taste and aroma.

Bottle. Clear light ruby colour with low head and thin body. Nose of sour cherries. Taste of mild cherry stones, unripe cherries and fields. Very refreshing but just not that good.

Bottle of 250 ml at home.One finger pinkish head, dark ruby colour, quite an activity in the glass in the form of bubbles rising to the top. The head quickly became a half finger thin line on the surface of the beer, so retention is quite good. Aroma is of course of cherries but is a bit too strong, thus appearing artificial. I can smell something else too, but I cannot tell what exactly, the smell is not pleasant though. Taste is slighty better, sweet as expected but leaves a slighty sour aftertaste. I think that afterall, the smell I was getting is from sour cherries, and you can trace them on the taste too. On the body is thick above average for a fruit beer, with medium carbonation. Is nice to actually feel that youy don’t drink a cherry juice.

25 cl bottle (4,0%) @ home. Rated on 28.02.2010
Aroma has sweetish cherry juice and sugary notes. Flavour has juicy cherries, fruit sugar and almost nothing else. Way too sweet stuff.

A red beer with a nice pink/red head. The aroma is the sour aroma that must have a kriek. The flavor is sweet with notes of cherry, and a sour dry finish. A nice one.

Bottled, thanks to Eva who gives me a sample. Dark reddish colour with an off-white head, quickly dissapearing. Aroma is fresh, fruity, cherry notes. Flavor has cherry notes with a chemical sensation. Dry and bittery final.

250ml bottle. Deep red ruby color, tiny pink head. Sweet, punch of cherry, slightly sour notes in aroma. Sour, cherry, mild yeast in flavor. Quite refreshing.

Bottle 25cl. Pours like red wine or juice with no head. Interesting and fruity smell with strong cherry. Taste is some what too acidic but good fruity with cherry and marzipan. Would be a good dessert beer with cake or something. Not bad.

0,25l as Kriek Vieux Bruxelles, nice cherry aroma, dark red colour, with light white head, lightly bitter, lightly bitter, medium sweetness, no sourness at all, light body, slick feel, average carbonation, Im not much into Krieks but i think an average one, would appreciate bit souness and less sweetness

UPDATED: JAN 8, 2013 Bottle at höyry, tampere. Dark reddish brown color, small white head. Nice aroma of sour and sweet, cherrys. Quite light taste, cherrys, low co2, some sour and sweet.
