Brussels Kriek

Brewed by Brouwerij Van Steenberge
Style: Fruit Beer
Ertvelde, Belgium

330ml bottle (Nousuvesi, Espoo) Hazy pink, ice cream float head. Perfumy and slightly fruity aroma. Sharper taste - cherry - but not very sophisticated though. A little thin, but quite refreshing. Not to be compared with other sourer krieks, this is a fruit wit, and not trying to be as sour.

Bottle. Light gusher. Clear red color. perfumed cherry juice aroma with bitter almonds. Sugary sweet flavor with cherry juice and hints of aspartame. Thin. The aroma is more pronounced as the flavor.

Draught. Clear red coloured with a pink head. Very sweet aroma of almonds, apples and cherries. Candylike flavour of cherries and apples with notes of butterscotsch. LIght watery.

On tap @ 9th Brussels Belgian Beerweekend. Ruby red color wih a light pinkisch head. Aroma sweetness from cherries. Thin to medium bodied. Taste cherrylike, sweet. Finish = dry and sourlike sweetness.

Cough syrup, thats what it is, not totally unpleasant but no more than one bottle can be drank at a time by me!

Bottle. White-pink head, rosé wine colour. Aroma of bubble gum, cherries. Very disturbing taste - like Lindemans but with an added amount of dirt or distractions. It actually tastes dirt, and isn’t that strong either. Blah.

(Bottled) Almost clear, deep red with a largeish, foamy, lacy and pink head. Pretty sugary-sweet and not that natural cherry aroma. Not as sweet cherry and strawberry flavor with some dull cherry stone hints. Light to medium-bodied, slightly sugary palate with balanced carbonation. An ok lemonade kriek - somewhat like drinking Dr. Pepper.

0.33l bottle from a store here in Split.
Poured a slightly hazy reddish colour with a huge white head tinged just ever so slightly with pink that collapsed slowly leaving scattered bits of lacing. Fakeish stale cherry in the nose. Very faint taste, metal and cherries. Slightly tart, weak finish. Not unpleasant but a bit pathetic.
