1.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 7/20
Bottled. Blackcurrant colour, Short lived purple pink head and moderate colour. Syrupy sweet cherry nose with a faint whiff of almonds. Cherry not so apparent in the mouth with a metallic/blood note dominating through into the finish, like someone just punched you in the mouth.

A red beer with a good head. The aroma is the sour and sharp aroma that suits a kriek. The flavor is soft and on the other hand sharp like a kriek should be and ofcourse with notes of cherry. A really good kriek.

Lovely colour. Fruity aroma. Though rather flat flavour. Quite disapointing. Dry palate.

Head is initially average sized, frothy, pink, good lacing, mostly
lasting. Body is clear dark reddish-purple. Aroma is lightly yeasty
(cobwebs), lightly malty (toasted grain), with a note of cherry syrup.
Flavor is heavily sweet, moderately acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is
moderately sweet, moderately acidic, lightly bitter. Medium body, syrupy
texture, lively carbonation, moderately astringent. Somewhat artificial
(and simple) aroma, much too sweet, syrupy, astringent.

fake kriek. masses of sugar and artificial cherry cordial
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
UPDATED: JAN 25, 2012 Cherry, almondy aroma. Sweet n sour taste with cherry, almond and oak. Not too bad for a commercial kriek. The sourness and the almondy taste offset the sweetness.
Rating from jan 2012: Vieux Bruxelles kriek. Best until 5/08. Murky brown color. Cherry sweets in the strong aroma. Sugary sweet flavor with cherry sweets, marzipan and some sour notes. Aftertaste has peppermint. Has kept extremely well.

Cherry, cherry and cherry again. All those exceptionally fruity beers are not my style.
