Liefmans de Boomgaard Kriek

Formerly brewed at Liefmans (Moortgat)
Style: Fruit Beer
Oudenaarde, Belgium

A very pretty pour of deep translucent red with a pink fluff head, that reminded me of cotton candy. Nose is like that as well, syrupy sweet cherry notes, and some menthol. Sort of like a cough drop. Flavor is nicely tart and balanced, somewhat musty, but overall just what it is and is never overpowering a lighter take on the style.

Bottle Pours a clear deep cherry red with a very large pink fluffy head that sticks around. Aromas are intense cherry, a bit over done like cherry jolly-ranchers and a slight woody, musty hint. Lots of sweet cherry flavor, again a bit forced, and candy like but quite tasty. Fairly light feel and moderately fizzy.Not quite as syrupy as the Lindemanns. A hint of tartness that almost balances it out. I’m liking this more with each sip. Very yummy.

Bottle: Red pour, pink head and lacing. Nose is very bright with sugar and cherry essence, a light lotiony character that reminds you of cherry pie, a bit thin in the finish. Best of the bunch I think.

Bottle. Dark red in colour with medium reddish head. Oh dear. Sweet, sweet and sweet. Much too candy like for me.

Pour is deep crimson red with a thinnish pink head...smell is definately candy cherry with hints of foul old Robitussin...tasate is initially the same chemical sweetness, but then some tart cherry hints come out...really just like a cherry sour ball...saying this is the best is sort of like beating the crap out of a retarded person though...it isn’t really difficult, and you don’t really brag about it...that much...

clear crimson red body with a nice pinkish white head that left nice webbing.aroma was of dusty cherries.flavor was much of the same,although it did have a bit of an medicinal/sour finish.

375ml bottle from Bev Mo La Mesa. This is one of the best fruit beers I’ve ever tried. Pours a medium cranberry color, head is frothy and pink. Nose of sweet cherries. Great candied cherry flavor.

Aroma is big with powdered sugar and candied cherries. Cranberry colored with a two finger thick pink tinted head. Sugary, kool-aid sweet cherry notes dominate the fore on through the finish. Has a slightly chalky, tart note to it in the finish as well. It’s a fruit beer and it tastes good. Nothing more nothing less. It isn’t a lambic and it doesn’t claim to be so knocking it for not being a lambic is like knocking Alpha King for not being Dark Lord.
