Pink color with whute head. Cherry fresh aroma, taste is heavy sweet and drinkable. Look like fruit juice.

Bottled. Poured like a red wine, bordeaux, thin pinkish head. Sweet, kriek, marzipan. Tart, sour, sweet kriek, some maltiness also. A lot better than expected.

Barva: temná rubínová. Pěna hustá. Vůně: nádherná třešňová. Chuť: řízné sycené pivo s výraznou třešňovou chutí, středně hořké. Dlouhý ovocný dozvuk. Velice osvěžujiící,

#1010 Es sieht aus wie Ahoibrause mit Schaum, der schnell fort ist. Es riecht passabel fruchtig nach Kirschen. Geschmacklich bleibts auch nach Kirschlimonade und ist nur ganz entfernt auch minimal bierig. Der fiese, pelzige Nachgeschmack stammt definitiv vom Süßstoff. Dadurch wird aus dem Kriek für mich eine äußerst mäßige Brause.

Red with big, foamy, rose head / / Light to medium body, sweet and clean, light hopping with little yeasts to speak of, with fair finish / Simple, sweet flavors of cherry soda pop, cough syrup, cream, and cinnamon / While not unpleasant, should be drunk over ice with a straw.

UPDATED: SEP 3, 2012 0.25 bottle. Clear, color is scarlet with a rose touch to it, head is small and light pink, sort of like a bubble gum. Smells of fermentation, some berries and obviously cherries, although mixed with some basement aromas and slight barnyard stench. Taste is obviously sour and resembling cherry however, there is a slight malty sweetness to it, yet neither is too strong or particularly prevalent. Body is somewhere between light and medium, texture is thin and carbonation lively. Finish ranks as medium and I would describe it to be a compound of taste and aroma. All in all I enjoy krieks but did not find this one particularly good, though it has to be given credit for its uninsistent taste and delicacy.

Aroma is tart cherries and a hint of malts. The flavor is cherries, fruit and a mild sweetness in the finish.

0.25 bottle, 4%. drak red, clear. Slight reddish small head. Lifesavers- cherry on the nose, with slight hay or old malts, and lingon berries. Some yeasty malts on palate. Some cardboard. Thinnish body. Overall the flavors arent intense enough to cover the bad body. Theres a lot of better ones.

25 cl. Dark red, with a medium pink head. Cherry aroma. Quite sweet compred to other kriek I have tried with a soft cherry end.

Good aroma, appearance, taste and palate. Decent, memorable. Rated from the bottle.
