A non-alcoholic version of Kriek Lambic. What could possibly go wrong? Well, I can list a lot of things but let's cut that crap now and concentrate on the beer. This is beer, right? Translucent, dark ruby. Limited carbonation. A decent one-finger head is born and then shrinks down. Mixes white and faint pink. Intensive sweet cherry jam in the scent. Could tango beautifully with dark chocolate. No, there's no chocolate here. A bit of wheat biscuit instead. Just a hint. Let me sip. Relatively sweet, still. Cherry juice this time, not jam. I can't even imagine any chocolate on the tongue, even the biscuit is considerably obscure. Not at all like a Lambic. The body? Light, I guess. The end offers bowls of cherry juice. Just like upfront. The mouthfeel is light, a bit thick, juicy and summery. Nothing funky. At all. Not that I expected funkiness, the alcoholic (3.5 %) version wasn't funky either. But it was light-sour, this is just sweet.

6/5 makea
