Belle-Vue Kriek

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

Bottle. Berry aroma, apple taste with a dry sherry finish. Dark red colour, lovely foam. A bit artificial, though.

Veyr light aroma--very faint cherry. Dark Red in appearance. Medium palate. Lightly sour taste with a weak and fake cherry flavor.

Deep red colour with a thick and foamy but mostly diminishing pink tinted head. Sour cherry aroma. Flavour of tart and sweet cherries. Palate is flat and light but refreshing.

Draft. All One Bar, London. Red in appearance and red in aroma and flavor, that is, cherries and strawberries. This reminded me of what Frankenberry cereal would taste like if it were liquid — and cherry. Sweet and fruity in aroma and taste. Bubbly mouthfeel and thin body. I would have preferred more sourness, but if you’re in the mood for a sweet cherry beer with alcohol, this would not be unpleasant.

Tasted like metal! Aluminum aftertaste. It it wasn’t for the cherry smell this would be smelling really skunky. The only thing this had going for it was that it looked good. What a horrible aftertaste... I think I’m going to dump it. bleahh.

The aroma is a bubblegumish cherry ester. There is a metallic taste to it that I do not really like. The sourness from ’normal’ lambics is almost non-existent. For people who are new to krieks/lambics this is probably good.

Bottle. A very nice kriek! Ruby colour with a fine pinkish head. Sour/acidic plus cherries. Does not have the artificial bubble-gum qualities of other macro-krieks.

i love this beer, my first lambic. people at my football team used to laugh at me for drinking it, b/c they thought it’s chicky. no matter, i love it and order it ever time after the football game.
