Girardin Kriek

Brewed by Brouwerij Girardin
Style: Lambic - Fruit
Sint Ulriks-Kapelle, Belgium

A clear cherry red beer with a beutiful light brown head. The aroma is sweet and sour. The flavor is primarily of sour cherries and wood with an underlying sweetness and slightly sourness - not too much of either. For a Kriek I think it isn't sour enough and the cherries are a bit too prominent. A nice beer, but not perfect.

(Bottle 37,5 cl) Very dark red - close to black - decent, pinkisk head. The cherries are not so prominent in this, but they’re certainly detectable - especially because they’re not completely drowned by sourness. Even a slight hint of sweetness. A decent and drinkable classical Kriek. 100897

Deep burgundy. Dry and balanced. Light aroma of sour cherries. Reminiscent of a Cabernet Sauvignon. The draught version appears more fruity, and is even better than the bottled one.
