Belle-Vue Kriek

Brewed by Belle-Vue (InBev)
Style: Lambic - Fruit
Sint-Pieters-Leeuw, Belgium

Serve in Flute, Tumbler

To me a drier astringent kriek (on a kriek scale) with a slightly bitter after taste. Not overly cherry flavoured and falls on a hole in the mid-palate where not much happens.

250 ml bottle.
Pours a red colour a small foamy head on the edges. Aroma of cherries with some stuffy perfume-like notes. Flavour of sweet, artificial cherries and some light sourness. Light bodied with a slightly dry finish. Artificial sweeteners leave a bad taste. Inferior to Lindemans Kriek.

bottle - red body with a beige head - cherry nose - sweet flavour with a relative bitter finish

On tap @ the Top-Off, Camp As Sayliyah, Doha Qatar. Crystal clear ruby red beer with a cherry and wood aroma. Light bitter, mellow without the overly sweet taste I was expecting. Very nice mild cherry taste. An ok kriek outside of Belgium.

Bottled. A deep red beer with a creamy beige head. Strong aroma of cherries. Taste is sweet and sour. Dry and woody finish. Too sweet

Pours a translucent deep red color. Very fizzy head with red highlights. The nose is very sweet, of cherries. There’s an artificial, chemical-like note on the nose that isn’t very attractive. The taste is sweet, one-note. This has a light body that’s watery, not too challenging. This beer has very lively carbonation. Too sweet for my liking, boring.

Fra fat på Le Roy d’Espagne i Brussel 6 Mai 11. Rød. Lyserødt skum som varer en stund. Behagelig kirsebærpreg gjennom det hele. Passe søt. En god kriek.

De eerste kriek die ik beoordeel, dus geen vergelijkingsmateriaal. Vrij zachte smaak van kersen en een hint vanille. Drinkt makkelijk. Vermoed dat ik een echt goeie kriek, dat meer op bier lijkt, lekkerder vind. Maar tis zeker niet onaardig.
