Kasteel Kriek

Bottle. Reddish pour with a pink head. Cherry aroma. Sweet cherry flavor. Tastes like a cherry soda with just a hint of tart.

Poured dark red with a fluffy pink head. Aroma of cherries. Flavor was very sweet. Lots of cherries packed into this one.

kasteel rouge on tap @ papago...pours the color of zergüt sour cherry syrup topped with a little pink head. aroma is tart with sour cherries. a bit of maltiness hides behind it. flavor is the same combination...along with some wood and a dry herb/hops finish. starts sweet it fades to finish dry. lingering cherry flavor. medium bodied with high carbonation. tastes like it’s missing something....

Bottle 0,33ltr: You Kateel-beer and their St.Louis Kriek, and combined you got this heavy fruit ale, dark red ale with the early mentioned cherries wit 8% alcoholpercentage.

Bottle. Reddish beer with a thin head. Cherry, earthy aroma. Cherry, earthy, sweet flavor. Medium body. Nice sweet/tart flavor. LIngering cherry, earth, tart. Reminds me a lot of a LIndemans without being as sweet. Easy drinking - 8% surprises me.

On tap at Brixie’s in Brookfield, IL-- named Kasteel Rouge. Not at all sour-- very much a sweet cherry fruit beer. Almost reminded me of New Glarus Belgian Red. Very refreshing with no aftertaste.

Guest tap at 3Floyds brewpub. Served in a big Rochefort goblet. Black body with sudsy bubbles. Sweet and tart cherry smell combined, not much else, but that can be enough. Great taste of sweet cherries, but balanced with malt so it’s not just a cherry cocktail. A slight note of cocoa. Carbonation level is right between beer and champagne, and seems appropriate for this brew. Joyfully alcoholic.

tap at Toronado. Hmm more like cherry juice than beer but quite pleasant. This one has cherries and not much else. Super sweet with just a hint of malts. I liked it but would not call mit beer. This is one of the most extreme krieks I sampled.
