Verhaeghe Echte Kriekenbier

Bottle from Once Upon a Vine, Richmond. Dullish brown pour with minimal crisp carbonation. Faint oak in the nose and dark cherry tartness, nothing too sharp. Oxidized and off-putting dry, vegetal finish. Some mild cherry and brune-ish flavors remain, but it’s gone medicinal.

12oz bottle dated best before 14-08-09. Clear pink-red color with light pink bubbles. Smells like a little vinegar and cherries. Sweet-sour cherry taste, syrupy, sticky, interesting beer. The stickiness is a little much for my liking but the flavor is better than average. Serving type: bottle Reviewed on: 02-22-2009 04:30:29

Bottle... Poured deep, ruby-red with a thin, off-white head. Aroma of wine and oak. Lots of carbonation and very foamy palate. Definitely cherries there in the flavor but a very strong sour/tartness that was dominant. Finished with tart fruit and plum notes.

Sampled on draught: Pours a bright bright ruby red colour with an enormous white head. Aroma is fruity and enticing, licorice, raspberries and cherries on the nose. Taste is creamy, definately well carbonated in the mouthfeel. Flavours of cherries, peaches and soft oak.
