From the cherry tree’s transient flowers, its fruits ripen – round, red and packed with sunshine. Timmermans Kriek is brewed by adding natural juice to lambic beer, a blend that is then fermented in oak barrels. After which it is bottled.Timmermans Kriek blends its famed lambic with this sweetness for a beer that can quench any thirst. Its natural freshness will make you blush for joy.
Taste-wise… Its flavour is all cherry, as is already apparent from its very powerful nose. Its acidity is neutralised by its agreeably sweet and fruity bouquet. Its taste pervades the mouth and lingers gently, elegantly tinted with summer cherries.

0.25 l bottle from local 'Kaufland', best before May 2018. Clear, deep burgundy with a thin, frothy, quickly diminishing, white head. Very sweet, fruity, slightly artificial aroma of cherry yoghurt, sorbet powder and hints of bitter almond. Fairly sweet, just minimally sourish, rather fruity and a bit artificial taste of lots of cherry juice, sorbet powder, some raspberries, elderberry and a touch of bitter almond, followed by a short, sweetish-fruity and just minimally tartish-dry finish. Thin body, slightly effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Hardly any lambic left, it rather resembles cherry juice, not bad as a beverage as such though.

250ml bottle. Clear, deep reddish golden colour with small to average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, pink-ish white head. Sweet-ish, intensive, minimally artificial cherry aroma, notes of morello and Haribo Happy Cherries. Taste is sweet-and-sour fruity, notes of cherry and citric acid, hints of morello, a minimally sugary touch. Minimally unbalanced, inharmonious and unconnected juxtaposition of sweet- and tartness. Rather easy drinkable cherry juice nonetheless.

Bottle at home in Beer Hawk advent calendar. No head, but carbonation that reminded me of a can of coke. A musty and yeasty nose to the beer and a massive hit of cherry on the first sip. The cherry tasted artificial, like a sweet, and it really didn't grow on me. I lost the cherry flavour as I went down the glass and a not unpleasant Lambic flavour came to the fore. I just didn't particularly like the whole package.
