Bottle @ home shared with my girlfriend. Nice deep dark red color, full sized off-white head. Smell and taste are sweetish, cherries, lots of sugar. Average body and carbonation. Way too sweet for me.

25 cl. bottle @ home. Procured from Carrefour. BBF 12/10/2014. Clear ruby / raspberry with touch amber & pink head. Smells like very sweet cherry candy with a touch of syrup & nothing else. Tastes of cherry candy with a metallic note, sweeteners, totally artificial, nothing but artificial cherry, candy, lightly metallic in the back. This taste only like artificial cherry flavouring & by that I mean cherry, there is nothing even remotely similar to kriek here. Even the label says min. 13.5% fruit including 9% cherries. Dear lord, you say kriek on the package & put cherries on the ingredients, also what is the other 4.5% of fruits?? Slightly watery, touch higher carb. Is this beer, this tastes like something you need to add to in small quantise to strong liquer. This is like pure artificial cherry flavourings at best, is there actually real lambic in this or just water with chemicals? Sigh…. painful stuff for a sourhead like me.

"Extra" zoet en ook fruitig met een heel klein zuurtje, ook wat kersen in de smaak, blijft wat plakken in de nasmaak. Meer info vind je bij: http://www.beersfrombelgium.eu/nl/Belle-Vue_Extra_Kriek-b-1282.html

Can. Pours clear ruby with ample pinkish head. Clear aroma of cheap cherry jam. Sweet flavour of cheap cherry juice with a sourish note in the finish. Rather watery. Refreshing but far too sweet. Definitely not the best kriek I have tried.

Clear brown red colour, light pink head. Aroma of cherry syrup. Sweet flavour, syrup, candied cherries. Sweet finish, cherry, sweetener and light almond.
Too sweet, even sweeter than most cherry lemonades.
