Not the greatest on its own mix with Floris Chocolate to get a Black Forest Gateaux flavoured beer - which is quite amazing.

Starts as ripe sour cherry and then ends very abruptly.

Format: a light brown 330mL bottle with a pretty tacky label.
Appearance: pours out a really lovely and vibrant cherry red colour (funnily enough), not much head to speak of - just a thin cap floating on top.
Aroma: a very strong aroma of artificial cherry - smells of a really nasty saccharin medicine. Not nice.
Taste: once again plenty of saccharin cherry in medicine form. Apparently Krieks are really not my type of beer.
Aftertaste: becomes slightly bitter on the finish, but still the cherry lingers for quite some time.
Mouth feel: medium in body with a moderate amount of fine carbonation.
Overall: between this beer and Timmermans Kriek Lambicus, I think it's pretty safe to say that Kriek is not my preferred style of beer. They both taste and smell like saccharin, medicinal cherry. Nasty. Particularly for over AU$110 for a case of 24 x 330mL. No thanks.

330ml bottle poured into a Delirium Tremens Chalice
Look: DEEP cherry red - pinkish head which sticks around for a little while.
Smell: Cherries (duh!) with a slightly medicinal tang to it - perhaps comparisons to cough syrup are a bit wide of the mark, but there's definitely a bit of a whiff of antiseptic there.
Taste: I'll be straight - I love cherry beers but my palate tends to prefer the 'sour' end of the spectrum rather than the sickly-sweet 'artificial' cherry flavours. This sits somewhere in between, veering towards the sweet end of the scale. Which is a pity.
Feel: Bit of a lightweight, to be honest - not really helped by the sweetness, which can be a bit overbearing in large quantities.
Overall: Disappointing - give me a properly 'sour' kriek and I'm as happy as you like; this sits uncomfortably between sour and 'artificially sweet'.
