Commercial Description:
A very intense Belgian style sour cherry beer. Packed with whole tart cherries for a HUGE mouth-filling flavor. This is NOT a typical 'flavored' beer, rather, the fruit is used in such a way to create a traditional albeit unique beverage.

I have spent many a nights at the Selinsgrove Brew Pub. This is a tremendous seasonal beer. The best beer I have ever had. My college friends and I would order a pitcher of it. One of the most unbelievable treats you can imagine. Ruby red color when you hold it to the light, the presentation of the beer in the goblets they serve you. This beer is as my best friend called it... "an experience"

On Tap at Selinsgrove Brewpub. I’ve been waiting a couple years to try this - and I was happy to finally get to try it a few days before graduation. Whenever, theres a highly rated beer that Ive been anticipating for a while I get a little nervous over whether or not it will live up to my self-imposed hype. The Kriek definitely did. It pours a dark red body and seems to have a somewhat syrup consistency - no head. The aroma is tart and maybe some sour cherry. The taste is sweet cherry followed by a rush of sourness which is great. At 8% abv, this beer does an incredibly good job of maintaining drinkability. A pretty unique beer as well - couldn’t compare it to anything Ive tried so far - one of the best beers too. :::::SECOND TRY:::::: Went back to the brewpub one last time before I took all my stuff home from school. Got two 14oz goblets of the Kriek and was not let down. The aroma is amazing - fresh, tart cherry pie and sugar. There is absolutely no alcohol in the taste. Great beer.

Selin’s Grove Kriek pours to a hazy, golden pink color with a tight white head and a soft carbonation. The nose on this beer is fantastic. Aromas of sour cherry and almond(cherry stone) marry with some funky, musty, yeasty aromas. The palate is lean with an underpinning of pale malt flavors married with tart wheat malt flavor. The finish is the show stopper. This beer start with some sweet cherry flavor, then ends with a refreshing sour cherry edge that lingers. WOW.

Poured a deep cherry red color body with a small rocky pinkish head. Lots of little red floaties. Tha aroma is bold black cherries and mild yeast. Flavor is sour black cherries that gets bolder as the beer warms. Finishes with some mild but funky, sharp chedder cheese notes. I’ll make the 2 hour trip for this every time it goes on tap.

On draft many times and growlered many more times. Poured dark reddish with a small off white head. Solid cherry aroma. The taste is of fresh black cherries. Its got a very natural cherry taste with a perfect amount of tartness. Hints of a nice funky yeast is great. Very Nice!!!
