Selins Grove The Phoenix Kriek

Growler at BCTC 2009: Hazy ruby with an off white head. Sweet and tart aroma with a maraschino cherry character. Slick oily feel- sweet but rounded flavor- similar to an old Quell Que Chose. Almondy marzipan, some cleansing cherry skin tartness. Very drinkable with balanced flavors.

64oz Growler thanks to Adrian for sending this my way. Pours a clear red with a pinkish white head. Nose is very woody, with a hint of bourbon and tons of tart cherry. Flavor is very reminscent of a stronger Belgian Red. Woody with huge real cherry flavor and a little bit of vanilla and bourbon. This is a seriously awesome fruit beer.

Growler from JW77 and Darkguardian. Pours a nice red color. Aromas of cherry, cranberries and tart raspberries. Flavor is just like a sweet/sour cherry candy. If there was a cherry flavored sweet tart this would be it. Damn fine beer. Seriously enjoyable. Loved it!!

Fantastic mix of sweet and sour. flavors of fresh raspberries and cranberries and of course Cherries. This is amazing, an onslaught, but weak palate. Bottle thanks to either JJ77, Daknole, or Ryan.

Growler at BCTC. Pours a clear rose amber. Funky raspberry and cherry notes. Medium to thick bodied. Very fruity, with a light sourness but nothing mind boggling. Finishes tasting a little like cherry cough syrup. Not bad, but didn’t live up to the hype around it. But don’t get me wrong… I’d definitely drink this again, and would be glad to do so.

2009-08-01. Hazy red body with a modest beige head. (3+) Aroma is sour and funky, cherries and cherry pits, odd undertones. (7+) Flavour of sour cherries, other dark fruits, with a touch of cherry pits. Very fruit dominant. Average palate is lightly carbonated. Pretty interesting but I must confess to it not quite meeting my high expectations. Growler at BCTC 2009

Brewed in the USA...... On tap at the pub !! Pours a burgundy brown color with a small sticky off white head. Aroma of tart cherries, malts, wood and baking spices. Taste like i just ate some fresh cherries from an orchard.... Other flavors consist of cinnamon, malts, spices and a hint of pepper. Mouthfeel was intense, well balanced, sticky, tart with some mild carbonation. If you have some time in your schedule, stop in the brewpub and try this fruit beer.

Sampled from a growler, courtesy of rudolf: Dark ruby brown color beneath a thin white head. Aroma is full of cherries, pits and all with just a faint hint of wood. Excellent tart cherry flavor, though not really sour. Cherries definitely dominate here, but they are nicely balanced with sweetness and tartness working well together. A little bit medicinal, but a very nice beer. Thanks for sharing rudy!
