Clear dark-red colour body with a creamy pink head.
Sweet cherry and fruit-candy-like aromas floating around.
The taste has a profound cherry character with small hints of sour and bitter towards the end.
Because of the basic ale used for this Kriek, this brew has some Flemish red ale features in the after-taste.

The combination of cherries, natural juices and aromas on the one hand and the basic beer on the other hand
lends this kriek not only its fruity flavour, but also its pleasant smell.

The Jacobins Kriek Max contains no less than 25% of cherries and consequently offers a sweeter, fuller flavour.
This Kriek Max is made from a mixture of bottom-fermented and spontaneously fermented beer (also called foeder beer).
