Appearance: Pours a hazy cherry wood reddish brown with a it of a beige head that's just clinging to the side of the glass.. and that's aboot it.
Aroma: Expecting a deep aroma of sour cherries escaping non stop, I was disappointed. It's a lightly aromatic beer, the cherry aroma is there, but the sourness is replaced with a sugar-infused sweetness, slight bitterness from malt/hops. Parfumic.
Taste: Sour to the palate, but not really much flavour at the beginning. A sour cherry that's lacking a bit of cherry shows up, it's almost like one of those sour cherry lollipops a child would get in their youth. Not the best Kriek Lambic-style beer.
Overall Thoughts: This beer has an ABV of 4.5%, so for being on the light side, it does have a decent flavour - mostly a sourness followed by a bit of cherries, quite sugary as if grandmaman was making cherry jam.
