Kriek Max is brewed with beer of spontaneous fermentation (lambic). The perfect combination of 25% natural cherry juices and the lambic, gives the beer not only its excellent taste but also its pleasant scent.
Served in its specifically chalice-shaped glass on an elegant base, Kriek Max is the max for the real cherry beer lover! Or serve it with ice cubes in the modern Max On Ice glass!

Imported from my RateBeer account as Jacobins Kriek Max (by Brouwerij Omer Vander Ghinste (Bockor)):
Aroma: 6/10, Appearance: 3/5, Taste: 5/10, Palate: 3/5, Overall: 10/20, MyTotalScore: 2.7/5
1/IV/16 - 25cl bottle from the supermarket @ home - BB: 16/VI/16 (2016-299)
Clear bright red beer, big fizzy irregular light pink head, unstable, dissipates quickly, bit adhesive. Aroma: lots of cherry candy, syrupy, little funky, lemony. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: cherry candy, very sweet and sugary, pretty sourish touch, lemon juice, citric acidity. Aftertaste: more artificial cherry syrup, pretty citric, sourish, bit sugary. Not as bad as I had feared, still not much to do with original kriek thought.

What a lovely and tasty ale at only 3,5%. Full of flavor and very balanced.
Dark red color with a nice pink head. Rich and nice aroma. Medium body and a fine smooth carbonation. A nice mellow sweetness. A bit oily texture. Rich and yet mellow and balanced cherry flavor. Also marzipan and almonds.
[Bottle from Ølgaarden/Gulating in Fredrikstad, Norway]

250 ml bottle, from Matkroken Stokka. BB date 15.01.15. ABV is 3.5%. Dark red colour, moderate to low pink head. Lovely aroma of sweet and sour cherries, cherry kernels, almonds / almond essence / marzipan. Sweet flavour with loads of sweet and sour cherries, also hints of almonds. Too sweet, but still a guilty pleasure to drink.

At Maakun’s. Bottle. Dark ruby. Sweet cherry candy, boiled cherries, sugar, marzipan. Taste is very sweet. Fizzy carbo. For this kind of sweetened kriek it’s very decent. No artificial sugarflavor for a change. --- Beer merged from original tick of Kriek Max on 21 Nov 2017 at 13:32 - Score: 5. Original review text: 2.8

Bottle shared thanks to Sjogro. Deep red with pink head. Sweet cherry soda and candy, like those hard cherry drop candies mostly. Really not much else there, maybe some marzipan. Taste is sweet with a very light tart touch. Medium bodied. Very sweet but no bad notes or something.

0,25L bottle (from beerExpress, Tallinn). Pours red with pink head. The head stays for some moments. Aroma is very sweet, cherries. Flavor is sweet and sour, cherries. Finish is dry-tart. Overall: very simple, but I don’t mind it.

Color de vino rosado. Espuma ligeramente rojiza, de un dedo y muy duradera. Aroma de jarabe. Muy carbónica y sabor a medicina para niños- Acompaña bien galletas. Poco mas que decir.
