Belle-Vue Kriek

Brewed by Belle-Vue (InBev)
Style: Lambic - Fruit
Sint-Pieters-Leeuw, Belgium

Red with a large red-white head. A sourish aroma from cherries. Champagnelike palate with flavour from cherries and bitter almond.

Ruby red with a thin head. Aroma of cherry and wine. Sweet and sour taste, with the cherry very present. Not a bad kriek, though not the best one...

strong and slightly acidic cherry aroma, pours with a dark red hue and a slightly red-tinged head, well laced, mild cherry flavour with moderate carbonation, quite rich and very refreshing

Dark red color - darker and more beer-like than most krieks, with a pink frothy head. Aromas of sour cherries. Tastes drier than I expected, although there is still plenty of cherry present. Smooth, creamy and sour, with a woody, oaky hint towards the finish. Aftertaste is surprisingly short and dry, with some lingering fruity notes.

Bottle: Pours a murky red colour with a light pink head. Pleasant stoney aroma, with good amounts of steel, dust, sour cherry skin, dirty leather and limestone gravel. . . Flavours are a bit absent, but slightly bitter: light sour cherries, bitter wine, not overly sweet, and not complex enough to be of much interest. Very metallic finish, not quite the great stuff that I love. . .

Dark red with a white tinged red head. Smells like ummm cherries. Tastes a bit too medicine like.

I found this one simple and one dimensional. Like adding cherry cough medicine and lactic acid to a budlight. The complex flavors in a good lambic are absent and the cherry taste was cloying.

On tap at Boucherville's Bocké bistro. Cherry bubble gum aroma. Nice medium to round texture, syrupy taste, tart. Decent
