375mL bottle, pours reddish pink. Aroma of sweet fruits, slight tartness which feels more subdued now that it was upon bottling (several years ago?). Flavour of sweet strawberry and cherry, with almost no sourness and a cloying sweetness. Too much sweetness here.

Bottle, very cold (about 4C). Dirty red with a large pink head. Aroma of cherry variety children’s medication, wheaty mustiness. Taste is not hugely sweet this cold with some cherry flavour - doesn’t taste anything like as artificial as it smells. There’s a little lambic buried here - you can just feel the acidity and there’s a teensy bit of funkiness - but mostly it’s seems like a slightly adult twist on a sweet drink in the same way as a squash and bitters. Dry finish is quite woody. Refreshing.

Pink head, lighter red colour. Aroma is sour cherries, slight syrupy sweetness. Taste isn’t as bad, a hint of cherries and a hint of sour beer. But rather watered down and not as exciting as some of the elite krieks out there.

Aroma is a good mix of cherries and grains on the nose, not too sweet, not too dry. Looks very nice with a bright pink head that actually lingers, though it could be bigger. Has a very soft cherry feel with just a hint of grain in there, and a nice dry finish. A very good Kriek that’s not too hard to find.

(can) sold as Kriek Classique; red with medium pink head; aroma of cherries, malt; taste is cherries - but not overpowering nor too sweet, with slight long bitter finish, no ingredient list on the can so it is hard to say if they put any unsavory stuff in it

This kriek lambic pours a deep purple-red colour from it’s green 375ml corked bottle. The head is decent and the lacing is great. Leaves the glass real dirty as you sip it. The nose is of course, cherries, with some sourness and herbs. Tastes like cherry syrup you take for your cough, or cherry Halls. Nothing offfensive though. Very smooth and no sourness in the mouth. The hop mixture makes this beer pretty good.
