(Bottle 37,5 cl) "Is this beer???" was the remark I encountered when I introduced this beer to a female friend. And the remark is quite understandable if this is your first introduction to a fruit beer. Reddish colour, a bubbly head. Some underlying acidity but the sweetness from the rapberry juice is close to overwhelming. But as an aperitf this is perfect. 160793

(Bottle 25 cl) Beautiful deep, almost rusty red. A touch of red also in the head. Fruity (juice only I reckon) and fresh. Not really bad for a commercial kriek. 300693

(Bottle 25 cl) Vintage ’93 Filtered, very red - and so is the head. Sweetish with underlying sour notes. Quenching rather than cloying. 190593 Vintage ’98: 6/3/6/3/12=3

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.

Bottled. Dark red, beige foamy head. Bitter cherry aroma. Sour cherry flavour, which leaves an oily palate. A bit of apple in the finnish too. A bit artificial.

375 ml corked bottle, champagne style, bought in Prague. Label says: P.H. Wandenstock Belle-Vue Kriek Lambic. ABV is 5.1%. Brewed by Interbrew Belgium, distributed in the Czech Republic by Staropramen. Beautiful red colour, large pink foamy head. Lovely aroma of sour cherries. Flavour is of course sour cherries too, initially sweet, with a hint of hops. Not very complex, and the finish is surprisingly short.

(bottle) Dark red colour with frothy pink medium head. Strong sourish cherry aroma. Sweety taste with heavy cherry flavour with dry, sour and a little smoky finish. A bit perfumed. One of the better mainstream Krieks.

Hazy ruby color. Cherry aroma. Woody, astringent, before the sweetness and fruitness. Not very pleasant.

Bottled. Cloudy orange. Aroma of barnyard and lemon juice. Very acidic with clean, rounded mouthfeel. There’s sweet malt beneath the powerful acidity. Very flavourful, but not as complex and lively in mouthfeel as the best gueuzes I’ve had.
