Got in a bottle in Budapest. I'm a sucker for sweet and sour and this fit the bill with yummy tart cherry flavor!

375 ml corked bottle (champagne style). Enormous thick head, red colour, aroma is cherries (no surprise!) and red wine vinegar. Flavour is not nearly as sweet as Lindemans Kriek, quite dry really. Light bodied, but lots of cherries of course. Refreshing. Initially a little peppery bite. Moderately acidic.

Poured from 375-ml bottle into a long-stemmed tulip. Dark reddish-orange in color with reddish orange highlights everywhere. Aggressive pour yielded only a finger or so of head, no retention. First impression is straight-up cherry cough syrup. Lots of cherry, lots of sweetness. Not much in the way of carbonation. Light mouthfeel, with a sticky, oily finish that left a lot of lingering fruity tartness and some oaky astringence. Not a bad offering overall, but points off for the rather unpleasant finish.

25cl bottle. Bright red with a big, fluffy pink head. Smells strongly of maraschino cherries. Wow, so sugary sweet! Very little dryness or sourness but plenty spoonfuls of syrup. Would work as a dessert beer but otherwise it's too much for me.

Has that same cherry pie filling sweetness that I associate with a lot of Rodenbach's offerings, but it is a bit sweeter and certainly less tart. Lovely ruby-hued body with a fairly quickly dissipating head. Simple yet drinkable -- doesn't really have the complexity of many lambics out there

Su sabor es igual que su aroma, dulce, apenas ácido, y destaca su sabor a cereza. Carbonatación y cuerpo medio. Refrescante. Una muy buena opción para los amantes de las Kriek.

Had on tap. Wow this is so sweet! My teeth might rot out drinking this one with the sugary cherry overwhelming all obstacles. Fizzy like soda. There is some citrus and wood funk, but not enough to balance. If you want a really sweet cherry beer that is light in complexion, this one is for you!

there are lots of kriek listings for these guys, so i am not 100% positive that i am reviewing the one i had under the right heading here, it was sold to me as kriek subite and mentioned oak, so i assume this is the one, but i know they make a few of them with varying levels of maturity and sweetness. the one i had was pretty darn good, well better than the ratings here, with a deep dark blood red color to it, a tall almost nitro looking head nearly perfectly white from the tap, and staying creamy and tall throughout, the proper glassware no doubt helping with that, this is pretty to look at. its smell is intoxicating, sexy cherry, not quite candied but sweet for sure, but with an identifiable lambic character underneath, funky and quite mature to me, obviously woody, some tartness too but not real sour once i start drinking it, pretty good complexity too, surprised this isnt rated better and makes me question if i had a different version of kriek from mort subite. the cherry flavor is dense and natural, sweet and sour at the same time, and definitely leads the charge here, but there is more to it, plenty of funk, bacterial pucker, and lemon notes before all the wood. its smooth and lively, its appreciably low alcohol, and has a nice depth of flavor. sure it might be too sweet to make an evening of, but i like the feel a lot and a glass or two is a treat! a different type of lambic for sure, possibly back sweetened or something, but i dig it.

From the bottle, it pours a hazy pinkish color with a light pink head. In the nose, a touch of cherries. In the mouth, malt with cherries and a touch of sour - just right! Yum!

On tap at Mort Subite Austin.

This beer may appeals to the masses but off style and not appealing to me. 3.25

A - Pours a dark red to black, opaque with a three finger off white head. Great lacing. 4.0

S - Aromas of cherries and lactic acid. 3.75

T - Cherries and slightly sour. A sweet tart. 3.5

MF - Too creamy and smooth. I love a creamy beer when properly balanced with tartness, alcohol, etc., but this is not one of those times. 3.0
