Can from The Six Degrees North Webshop. Hazy reddish orange pour with a blink and you'll miss it pink head. Cherry & strawberry jam nose. Jammy red fruit taste, lots of tart action. Good.

440 ml can, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 6.0%. Hazy orange to reddish colour, moderate but shortlived off-white head. Sickly sweetish aroma of vomit, cherries, over-ripe raspberries and heather flowers. Medium sour flavour of lactic acid and sour berries, a hint of honey. Low bitterness. Won't buy again.

Can from Sainsbury's. Pours murky red with a short-lived orange head. Aromas of light sweet cherry and almond. Taste is more of the same. Sweet finish.

There's not much to report on this... it's just a very decent kriek. Lots of fresh, cherry fruitiness, a bit of hop, some sherbet, a bit of a floral quality to it. Doesn't taste its strength, if anything could maybe do with a little more of a kick. It's a bit too guzzleable for the ABV if anything.

Can from Sainsbury's. It pours hazy bright red with a decent off -white head. The aroma is sweet - sour, juicy, tart, tangy, toasted almond, ripe cherry jam, Bakewell pudding, slightly floral and a splash of red wine. The taste is sweet - sour, juicy, tangy, plenty of red berries, ripe cherry, almond, Bakewell pudding, hint of sherbet, touch floral, minerality and light woody notes with a tangy cherry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Nice balance to it, never too sweet and real fruit character. Decent.
