Kasteel Kriek

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

Bottle sampled. Pours a deep red with a nice one finger pink head. Aroma of sweet and tart cherries. Flavor is moderatly sweet with cherries and has a light tartness that is interesting and pleasant. Alcohol well hidden. An excellent fruit beer

Draught. opaque, dark red purple colour. aroma dominated by ripe sour cherries. The taste continues the strong cherry present with just a touch of alcohol, full and rich body, long sweet and sour finish. The cherry presence makes this beer seem a bit one dimensional, but this probably a classic case of the final impression being more the sum of the parts, making this an excellent beer to linger on.

Bottle at Toms Ultimate Glasgow Tasting: Poured a red color with a light red head. The aroma is cherry with a hint of dirt. Taste is very cherry and syrup sweet. Its an above average fruit beer.

Bottle at ultimage glasgow tasting. Aroma is very cherry, noteably fake but still very nice, quite sweet and yeasty with spicey hints. Taste is similar, very drinkable for the %, lacking body somewhat but still a belter of a fruit beer.

Bottle at Toms Ultimate Glasgow Tasting ... Deep cherry red... sweet cheery nose ... realy quite juice like ... Quite sweet with a little tartness in linger. No real depth but wonderfull drinkable, while at the same time not a patch on the New Glarus Belgian Red

On tap at Luka’s Taproom (Oakland, CA). This red beer poured with a miniscule pink head. There is a very sweet cherry flavor with a slightly harsh finish. Makes a great dessert beer.

pours a dark cherry red. smooth sweet aroma of cherry. like juicy juice this is a sweet chwerry carbonated drink. good sweet, and not too dry, long lasting palate.

On tap at Three Floyd’s Brewpub and served in a Kasteel goblet. This beer poured a beautiful burghandy color with a thin, lasting pink head. The aroma of the beer was dominated by sweet, tart cherries (not a bad thing!). The flavor consisted of sweet cherries, mild fruity yeast esthers, and a faint note of alcohol. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied and sugary with moderate carbonation. A great tasting brew that may be just a bit on the sweet side. Otherwise, very well done.
