Kasteel Kriek

Bottle 750ml (corked)
Appearance: bloody brown with ruby like hints, tinted pinkish top
Nose : Light cherry notes , sweet but over the top , some bubblegum as well. Aroma reminded me of traditional Polish Kompot. Rare occurrence, true fruity aroma.
Flavor/Palate : Refreshing . Fully satisfying authentic fruit flavours . Light tartness , proper balance sweetness . Cherry pulp. This one is must have brew on my list.

Pours a nice deep, dark cherry red with a nice little pink head that quickly dissipates. The nose is a huge rush of cherries. It is not as sweet as you would expect. Definitely has a rich cherry flavor with a touch of chocolate. Not overly sweet or cloying in any way. Finishes clean with a nice bitterness.

Wow, this was a surprise. It’s really, really good. Huge cherry nose, as one might expect. Deep, rich cherry flavor - almost decadent. Cherries mix nicely with some chocolate and a subltle, mellow bitterness. On tap, Thirsty Monk, Asheville.

On tap @ 1702 - Pours a dark reddish-purple color with a thin light pink head. Has a cherry cough drop aroma. Flavor is tart cherry. Light bodied. A pleasant, easy drinking beer. A nice suprise.

750 bottle is a mixtue of possably my two favorite things on earth cherries and a sour the first thing that comes to mind as i pour this is cherry juciy juice man does this have a very heavy cherry nose the 8% abv is hidden well this beer is all about the cherries cherries cherries and more of it i can see how this will upset some people but its fine with me i cant say enough how much i like this beer

tap. dark red with small head. tastes of Luden’s cough drops, but fuller. Well balanced, a nice twist on lambics.

Nose of cherry and yeast. Pours a deep ruby red beer with a small disappearing pink head, light bodied and sticky. Taste is of cherries, vinegar, malt, cloves and spices. Bitter sweet finish. Considering I am not a fan of cherry this is quite good.

Holy %$&#, is really what I said after the first taste. I get the added cherries but the cherry juice added part is what had me wondering. Pours a darker, but clear, ruby with fine pink head. I dig the aroma, very strong of fresh cherries. I can’t really taste any belgian ale here... seriously just tastes like cherry juice. This is by far the most SERIOUS fruit beer I’ve tried. I would love to try a belgian ale with some cherry flavor, sounds like a good idea, but this is just cherry juice all the way. Somewhat medicianal and bitter. Palate is velvety, wonderfully smooth carbonation, medium-full body, however, just a tad too syrupy.
