Kasteel Kriek

Brewed by Brouwerij Van Honsebrouck
Style: Fruit Beer
Ingelmunster, Belgium

one of only a few fruit beers i like, tastes just like cherry soda has a very nice finish ... not very beer like though ... more like some sort of awesome wine cooler

On tap at PP Carlsbad. Red amber color. Great cherry aroma. Sweet with just a hint of tart. Wow, this is fantastically delicious. Perfect for my sweet tooth. Must get more. This is one of my favorite beers.

#1000 here at Ratebeer... wow, this is wonderful stuff... delightfully fruity and clean, with loads of cherries!! .. light purple-red colour .. good lacing .. one of the nicest most enjoyable beers in existence!! ..

On tap at Teresa’s Next Door. Pours a mostly translucent ruby ted with a small bubbly/creamy off white head. Aroma of cherry liquor, a touch of some Belgian yeast esters...but mostly cherry. Flavor is very cherry, more sweet than tart, kind of medicinal. I could see having this with a nice piece of chocolate cake, but not much else.

On draft at Pivovarský klub, Prague. Cherry cough-syrup nose with cherry soda notes. Deep clear red in appearance; visibly fizzy in this incarnation. Sipping, it swerves across the road from real fruit to Cherry Coke and sweet to sour before it T-bones a sugar truck at the final intersection. The surprisingly understated finish climbs out of the wreck unscathed.

Excelent aroma, fruity but not so swetty or disgusting, is not perfum, is real cherries and berries. Red color adn pinky head, makes an atractive contrast for this beer, I really enjoyed this one, it is the true that fruit and malts can be good in adequate proportion

Kasteel Rouge on tap! Sweet cough syrup cherry flair gives way to a sticky sweet (yet tasty) cherry flair. Too sticky, then just right. Too cloying, then palatable.

33cl bottle. Pours ruby dark red with a thick red/rosée head. Aroma is loaded with cherries and notes of yeast. Taste is again filled with cherries, sugary and a very slight touch of sour / yeast. Thick and creamy, real cherries, the beer is a monster of goodness. Very drinkable for 8%abv.
