Belle-Vue Kriek

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

This was a nice mellow kriek. Smelled cherries as soon as the I pulled out the cork - opened with a quiet pop, and when I started pouring I thought that maybe this was going to be flat. Luckilly, it developed a thick fluffy pink head on top of the hazy red body. Also had great sticky lacing. Taste was mellower than expected, but smooth and full of semi tart cherry. Hints of sourness, but I would’ve preferred more. Finish was slightly bitter, woody, almost like cherry pits.

Cherryade beer which is pleasant to drink, but is pushing the point of beer.

Deep Red Coloring. Good Foamy Red Head. Nice Cherry Aroma..Little Tart. Flavor is Very Nice.. Nice and Even..Very Smooth...Solid Cherry Flavor But Not Over The Top...Something You Could Enjoy With Dinner/Dessert Very Easily.. Not Superb, But Simply Very Very Tasty and Likeable!

Cherry red colour with a medium size lasting off white head and good lacing. Mainly cherry flavours with an oily texture that lasted well into the finish, some wood characters which would come from the oak maturation. Nice beer but a bit too sweet for my liking, it would be good with chocolate at the end of a meal.

Aroma: very sweet cherries, like cherry syrup, some plums, bubblegum, and fruit loops
Appearance: deep red with some dark brown tones, pinkish head, lacing
Flavor: sugary-sweet cherries, like cherry pie, minerals
Palate: little thin, cherry pie aftertaste

(Bottled, 0.375l) Very deep, clear, red color with a large, big-bubbly and cloudy, lasting head. Sweet-candyish, slightly acidic, berryish cherry aroma. Sweet, very slightly tart cherry-candy flavor with a quick, drier cherry stone finish. Medium-bodied, a bit thin, moderately sugary, slightly foamy-carbonated palate. An easy, but quite uninteresting dessert lambic.

Bottled. A deep red coloured beer with an off-white patchy head. The aroma is cherries and cherry stones. The taste is fruity and clean. There are no lambic sour notes at all, nor it is sweet. This is a nice enough drink but a bit safe and plain.
