Liefmans Cuvée Brut (was: Kriekbier)

Brewed by Liefmans (Moortgat)
Style: Sour Ale
Oudenaarde, Belgium

Pours light, rusty brown with a light pink head. Brett aromas predominate: horsey, leather, humus, with hints of cherry. Flavor complexity is immediately obvious with layers of funk, sorghum, cherries, and hints of wood. Medium body but very round on the tongue. A great beer but lambic fans should note: do not expect anything like Lindeman’s. This is closer to an Oud Bruin with the addition of cherries. Really an impressive brew.

Was ok for a Kriek. Just not a fan of fruit overtaking beerflavor. Just hints like in Hoegaarden is ok. No juice in my beer please

bottle (37.5 cl), dark-deep red with medium head. aroma is fruity, tastes sweet souer. good for its kind

TAP: red/amber pour, cherry cherry cherry all over the nose and taste. Sour without being tart, very nice brew.

Wrapped 37,5cl. Dark brownish red, firm pale pink head. Sugary, sweet candy cherry nose, slight almondy notes, pleasant but simple, much in the Lindemans vein. Very balanced, sweet yet very fruity flavor with real cherries, little earthy sourness near the finish. Medium bodied, low lush carbonation. What a dessert beer, love that natural cherry.

A little hazy dark red colored beer, with a small light rose head. The aroma of some sourness with wit sweet cherries and raspberries. The taste has some sweetness and it’s dry, fruits like cherries. A little sour and wood. The aftertaste of dough, sour and hints of sweetness.

Bottle at home ... brown red ... thin lacing ... sour cherry littyle yeast nose ... tart cherry ... quite fruity with a light sour background ... decent enough

Nose full of cedar, sage, cherries, and bourbony malts. Pours a GORGEOUS dark amber/mahogany brown color. Notes of delicious sour/sweet cherry dominate this fruit driven malty backed work of beer-art. Two thumbs up!
