Kasteel Kriek

Bottled (750 ml) as Kasteel Rouge, cork marked 01/2007. Fizzy, pink head that faded quickly. Very red, clear pour. The nose was overwhlemingly cherry, much like cherry Kool-Aid. Flavor was cherry--too much cherry and not enough beer. poor balance. I am a fan of lambics with cherries added to them, but this beer lacked the wonderful lambix sourness to balance the cherry flavor and, as a result, fell short.

(Bottle). Rather disgusting cherry cough drop aroma. Color is deep red with small fizzy head. Flavor not quite as bad as the aroma. Sweet and sour cherries. I suppose one could enjoy this as a dessert beverage, but really, I have to strain to fit it within my definition of a "beer".

On tap at Duck Island Saloon in Seattle, WA as "Kasteel Rouge"==Sweet delicious dark ruby body that was barely translucent with a filmy minimal head. Sweet, full-on cherry medicinal sugar nose. Almost vinous presence. Malt sweetness pairs with bold fruit element. Great beer. Fruity with out being lame.

11.2oz bottle-pours a foamy pink head and ruby red color. Aroma is tart maraschino cherries in a jar. Taste is tart maraschino cherries in a jar with sugar syrup, medium malt, some bite, some herbal. Interesting cover up of beer. Occasional.

Very enjoyable beer, but make sure to split this with a friend. Strong aroma of tart cherries. Flavor is slightly cherry medicine filled, tart, lightly spiced carbonation. Alcohol pretty well hidden, warming palate.

This had eluded me for 3 years . It lacked the hardcore funk I was expecting. Bit softcore. I do not speak Flemish so did not know that cherry juice was added:.
Purple with pink ass small head..legit cherry smells...legit cherry cherry flavours.Not sour @ all. A nice chick beer sipper though to get you wasted weighing in @ a heafty 8 % .

Deep crimson with a pink head. Very vibrant cherry nose. Full and chewy mouthfeel. Wholesome, earthy and oaky, with lightly toasted caramel notes. Hint of bitterness but the sweetness definitely ruled. Pretty good flavors and aromas but the sweetness was a bit too much for me.

Sampled on draught: Pours a dark ruby red colour with a large pink head. Aroma is sweet like raspberries and strawberry licorice. TASte is sweet, creamy and very fruitforward. Mouthfeel is light, but bubbly with barely any noticeable hop flavor.
