Kasteel Kriek

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

Draft at Ebenezer’s. Dark reddish brown with ring. Cherry soda woody aroma. Cherry caramel spicy cherry soda. Spritzy. Pretty good.

A bold beer that will stand out in a crowd. Lively head, big aroma of cherries and malt. Nice interplay of fruit and malt, good balance of sour and sweet.

This was just superb, it is one of the beers that make you happy when in Belgium and also force you to promise to go back one day.

On tap at Brick Store. Pretty beer, deep ruby red with a nice foamy head. Aroma sweet, largely of cherries. Strong cherry flavor, pretty sweet, although not cloying. Slight bitterness on finish. Wish there was more sour flavors to balance out the sweetness. Not bad, but not my favorite kriek.

red with a light pink head. nose is tart cherries. smooth on the palate with a flavor of black cherries and sugar.

(750ml bottle) Pours a deep red with nice head. Quite bubbly. Nose of black cherries, some tart in there as well. Taste is syrupy, cherry, but not tart like the smell seemed to indicate. If it was this could be a much better beer. The lingering on the palette is that of artificial sweetener so bitter, but not like a hop profile.

Pours reddish color with an pink head. Aroma is strong cherry and light malt. Flavour is light sour, and sticky cherry.

Dark red colour, creamy red coloured head, staying for a bit. Aromas: krieken, cherries and sugar. tastes like cherries, fruity, not sour, but smooth, bitter and fresh. The sweetiness is dominating towards the finish. That’s not what I expected alas.
