Crombe Oud Kriekenbier

Brewed by Brouwerij Strubbe
Style: Sour Ale
Ichtegem, Belgium

A deep red beer with a thick red-brown head. The aroma is sweet with notes of fresh cherries and only a slight note of acidity. The flavor is sweet combined with a slight acidity and notes of wood and cherries towards the end. The acidity only draws moderate mouthwater - I’d like much more acidity.

(Bottle 33 cl) This original version from Crombe. Reddish brown with a head that comes close to being pink. A bit flat, lovely cherry flavours but very, very sour in a not so enticing way. No real treasure. 150698

Bottle. OK fat cherry aroma, slightly farty. Pale red colour, lots of small floaties. Very small head. The flavour is tart, turning citric with a faint hint of cherry. Has a lambicky tartness at the very beginning. Rough bitterness. Finishes on a strange plastic note at the back of the mouth. After a few sips, the unpleasant notes seem to disappear, leaving a nicely sour beer. 5 3 6 3 13
