Pint can into dimple pint, $5/4x500ml at a local grocer.
Pour is a dark rose/light violet, vigorous carbonation, head forms and dissipates quickly with minimal lacing and crown. Nose has a nice cherry note, some light malt, and not much else.
The taste reminds me of a top-quality cherry soda; not overly sweet, massive cherry hit with a nice tart peak and no artificial notes, balanced sweetness in the finish. Behind the cherry, there's only a slight note of hops in the finish and balanced light malt throughout. Mouthfeel is fairly clean, with very noticeable carbonation and pleasantly lingering cherry notes, and not a hint of alcohol throughout.
Overall, perhaps not a kriek but very refreshing,

Pours out a kind of light copper with an almost light pink cracling head that drops off quickly.
The smell is almost like that Euro lager/pilsner with a bit of grassiness. Picking up some cherries, like real dark ones.
The taste is like a dark dark cherry/fig fruity heavily carbonated beverage.
Mouth feel is bubbly due to carbonation yet light with just a bit of stickiness at the back of a crisp finish.
I will say this is a unique beverage in the beer world. Seems like a highly carbonated cherry/ fig drink. I would say if you like stone fruits like dark cherry and figs this might work for you. As a light refreshing drink with 5% alcohol this is not bad at all. Might be hard to find in some area but here in Vegas I only paid $5.99 for a four pint pack.

5.0% ABV. "Ale with cherry." "Kriek." "Belgian style ale with Cherry Juice."
The fruity flavours aren't great. Minerals. Cherry juice. 2-row pale malt. Balanced but not ideally dialed in.
Sticky. Medium-bodied. Smooth, wet, refreshing.
It's a nice fruit beer for what it is and what it costs, but it's not a Kriek proper. It's nice to see a Lithuanian beer available at a fair price in the U.S.

Hazy red colored beer with a small pink colored head.
Smells of yeast and bread dough and cherries. Some sour fruit scents. Mildly sweet. Has that sweat and sour thing going in the scent. Smells like a cherry turnover.
Starts out mildly sweet and tasting of cherry. Mild wheat beer taste and slight sour fruit taste. Taste of baked pastry. Mostly though this tastes like a cherry turnover.
Mouthfeel is average.
Overall not bad. Tastes like a cherry turnover.

500 ml can. Undated.
Pours with a clear dark rose body and a decent white head.
Aroma; a suggestion of baked bread with cherry jelly.
Flavor: good quality but too weal and mild.
Overall: mild but refreshing and very easy drinking.
