Belle-Vue Kriek

Long lasting pinkish white head with average carbonation. Sweet fruity aroma. Very sweet cherry flavour. Short finish. Very enjoyable and different.

Very flavorful for a fruit beer. It has a nice cherry flavor but you can still tell it is a beer. It has a medium red color. Just cant drink too many at one time.

Light red colour, pink lasting head. Sweet aroma of cherry and apple. Flavor: sweet cherry syrup. Ends a bit watery.

25 cL bottle, recently re-marketed in Belgium as "Kriek Classique." Some BS on the label about traditional recipe, blah blah. Pours pinkish-red with a light pink head. Black cherry sour candy aroma. There is a slight tartness to the cherry flavor, which is mildly sweet but not cloying like a soda pop. The result is refreshing. But that’s the only dimension to this beer, which offers no truly beery elements. No funkiness, no bitterness, etc. Pretty damned boring.

Bottle sampled. Pours red with a light red head. Aroma of fermented cherries, tart, and sweet. The flavor is sweet, fermented tart cherries, slight oak flavor. Not bad.

Almost syrupy, tastes artificially sugary. Not bad, just not beery. Have had this (in Luxembourg) and also La Becasse (in France), which, according to Ratebeer, is supposed to be the same thing - the consistency of La Becasse is more watery, and tastes more like cough syrup. Would say that Belle-Vue is okay but would recommend staying away from La Becasse.

Corked 5.1% bottle. Brilliant red pour with heaped pinkish suds. Plenty of oak, apple juice and cherrydrop fruitiness in the snout. Sweetly..well, cherryish with a countering edge of sourness and lots of drawn-out creamy vanilla malt after the swallow. Nothing complex but nicely balanced Kriek.

Bottle, 25 cl @ home. Clear red color, with light pink head. Aroma sweet fruit juice. Light body. Tatse is sweet. a bad kriek
