Verhaeghe Echte Kriekenbier

Opened with imadeadguy. Poured red with no head. Aroma of cherry and booze. Says sour but not sour. Very sweet with a syrupy cough medicine flavor. Ummm no.

Sample from Adam77. Pour was lighter ruby red with no head. Looked like light cranberry juice. Aromas of cherry, cough medicine, and alcohol. Flavor was light with those listed above. Not sour at all and just downright nasty.

Deep ruby red, virtually no head. Nose mostly of cherry, hint of plum, and alcohol (reminiscent of a port, actually). Deep cherry flavor, also brown sugar. Alcohol not too apparent on taste. Sour but not overly so, probably to its detriment. Drinkable, but not the best example of its class.

Found some of my notes from the 2008 Stone Sour Fest. Clear dark cherry color with a thin white head. Slightly sour aroma. Sweet cherry flavor with some light sour hints.

330ml bottle, fairly fresh according to date code: Pours a rich ruby color with a smallish cap. Light carbonation. Aroma is a musty-cherry earthy barnyard profile...hints of sweetness but not saccharine, tartness dominates...very nice. Fkavor is lush with tart fruit, malty notes, oak, lush port-like tastes, decent complexity....finish is tart and fruity with a hint of sweetness. Nicely put together variation on an flemish sour brown.

A tart cranberry nose mellows in the mouth to sweet cherries and green foliage. It’s very smooth and easy. I found it a little sweet overall. It lacked any real depth. All bark, no bite. All cock, no balls. What is a party if it doesn’t really rock?

Pours reddish brown with tan head. Sour cherry aroma. Flavor is initially sour followed by tart cherries and some woody notes. Medium body with lively carbonation.

Dirty brown pour. Nose of vinegar and cherries. Flavor is sweet cherries with a syrupy flavor. Sour and acid finish.
