Brussels Kriek

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

25 cl bottle. Bottle labeled 05/01/07. Poured a medium ruby red color with a large sized pink head. Aromas of cherry cough syrup / cherry cough drops. Tastes of sweet cherries. Very light tart cherry finish.

Bottled(250ml). -Pale ruby coloured, medium sized pale pink head, sweet cherry nose. Sourish sweet cherry aroma with mild wheaty notes. Like cherry and pistachio nut ice cream finish.

Small Bottle. Very sweet cherry aroma. Hazy ruby, low layering head. Sweet sodapop cherry flavoring, sticky sweet. Lightbodied, somewhat dry sparkly exit. Amazing they dare write Kriek on the label. But ok somewhat refreshing in the extreme sumer heat we have now - I might mix the rest with a wheatbeer and see what happens.

Bottled. Ruby red in colour wih a small redlike head. Some lacings too. There is a somewhat stinging aroma combined with the sweetness from cherries. The flavour is cherrylike, sour with a dry feel to it. There is a dry and sourlike aftertaste. Quite nice really.

Bottled. Dark rubyish amber colour, with small reddish head. Aroma is acidic cherry with rubbery hints. Flavour is sourness mainly, not much cherry at all. Semi-dry palate.

Bottled (BB 01/2007)
Deep cherry red, decent but quickyl vanishing reddish head. Candy cherry aroma with some acidity. Light, sweetish bubblegum cherry flavor - slightly sourness in the finish. Reasonably ok kriek.

Red with almost no head. Very artificial soap-like aroma. The taste is sour and sweet at the same time. Not a good beer. (Bottle 25cl)

Bottle Red, hazy body. Pink head. Sweet cherry-aroma. Sweet flavour, but not as a lindemans-kriek. But not my type of beer...
