Beautiful ruby color; generous creamy pinkish head. The smell is between the syrupy fruit beer and a cheap lager. The very beginning in the mouth is regular, with some cherry syrup, but it becomes quickly weak, and extremely short. Not disgunting, but useless.

Bottled. Deep red, brief head. Sweet cherry aroma. Cherry lemonade without even a hint of beer underneath. I must admit though that this is a pretty good cherry lemonade. Maybe useful as an ice-cream topping?

Das dies ein Leichtbier ist, wird in allen Teilen deutlich. Ein Touch von alkoholfrei lässt sich trotz des Kirscharomas ausmachen. Ansonsten sind noch leicht herbe Aromen zu erkenne, die jedoch kaum eine Rolle spielen. Hat man das Belle-VueKriek Extra schon mal getrunken, will man dieses Zeug hier nicht mehr anrühren!

Bottle. Slightly sickening cherry aroma. Deep red colour, very big, quite stable pink head. The flavour is rather sweet with a lot of cherry, especially in the aftertaste. It also seems a bit salty, like an isotonic sport drink. The low ABV does not seem to be a problem here.

Serious, thick dirty-pink head leaving lace; amberish tinted red beer. Quite neutral nose with a sweet cherry background, gaining in strength/sweetness by warming up. Very faint fleeting taste, lots of water and actually more caramel malt than "fruit" flavour (which is pretty artificial). Slightly sticky MF, thin & watery palate. The good thing is that so much water seriously dilutes the syrup. The surprising thing are the malt notes. The not-to-be-thought-of thing is that even the 0.05% real fruitlambic that went in here is irrevocably misused.

(Bottle 25 cl) Low alcohols are most often a lager variety, so this low alcohol fruit beer is rather unusual. By appearance this looks very much like a real Kriek, deep red with a small, discreet head. Cherry flavours are very evident with a small, metallic edge. Not much body and no real Lambic tartness. This feels pretty much like a nice soda pop. Actually a pleasant surprise. 210999

Bottled. Red colour, huge white foamy head, lacing. Cherry, malt and cookies in aroma. Cherry flavour with artificial notes. The lack of alcohol might be a reason to a "thin" flavour.

Clear red color, medium pink head. Aroma of artificial cherry, soft, no marzipan (i like marzipan). Taste is sweet cherry, but not as ultrasweet as other ’kriek’-beers, more bitter. Sticky palate, very watery. A low alcohol fruit beer, quite interesting...

The aroma is slightly of cherries, slightly sour with hints of hops. The flavor is light, of cherries and red currant. This beer is like a very watery fruitsyrup served for children.
