This lambic pours a murky dark red color with a pink head. The aroma is very distinctive and is nothing like I have ever smelled in a beer before. It smelled distinctly like cherry pie filling. Additionally, there was a haylike funk smell to round out the aroma. This beer softly enters the mouth with a sticky sweetness and tartness followed by a wheat like taste with just a hint of bitterness to make it taste somewhat like beer. The best way to describe this beer is as a cherry jolly rancher or maybe a cherry tootsie pop. What was most surprising about this delicious kriek is that it is the first beer Becky has ever liked and she said that she could probably order this in a bar and drink the whole thing. Finally, I found something she liked, and just in time too as now we now what she should order as we drink our way through Belgium. Overall, this was a tasty lambic, but it was very sweet and almost syrupy, which would make it hard to drink too much of this beer.
