Belle-Vue Kriek

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

Dark red. Aroma of cherries and yoghurt. A bit sweet and beery flavor with acidic tones and some bitterness. Too industrial kriek for my taste

Pours a dark coppery red, with a frothy pink head. Aroma is of faint glazed cherries and some sweet malts. The flavour is not overly sweet, but the sourness tastes a little weird and artificial. I like the amount of cherry though. The finish is quite metallic and astringent, like you have just eaten something artificial. At the end I feel like it just needs some more of something, but I guess that’s InBev for you.

Pours mahogany red with a bit of persistent head. Aroma is grasses with dark cherries underneath. Very sweet cherry, red wine, and something else (not good) I can’t place. Dry. Not something I’d try again, except maybe on tap.

Bottle. Dark as hell in here so can’t really give much notes on appearance. Smells very tart and overly cherry-fied but the taste isn’t too bad. Cherry cherry cherry all over the place. Thought it was ok. Pours clear and golden amber with a light pink head. Dry sulphorish cherry aroma. Flavour is dry cherry with a light citric note. Dry cherry finish. Simple yet seems authentic. Mild citric note too.

Sour, artificial cherry aroma. Medicinal, spicy cherry taste with muted acid levels. Full bodied and creamy, but that’s not going to save what is a pretty sub standard beer.

Pours a nice red with a relatively large head. Cherry (syrup), some tartness and sugar predominate. Is this a beer? Too much of a soft drink for me.

Dark red with a large, but not heavy pink head. Nice balance, more acidity than sweetness which makes for a refreshing drink.

Bottle, purchased in a cafe in Brussels. Poured a deep dark red colour,with a foamy pinkish beige head. Dominant cherry aroma and sweet taste of malt flavors with some spiciness and hints of hoppiness in the finish. .
