Oud Beersel Oude Kriek

Brewed by Brouwerij Oud Beersel
Style: Lambic - Fruit
Beersel, Belgium

Hazy and deep ruby with a pinkish head. Soda-like. Smooth. Sweet and earthy. Big cherries from start to finish, though not very tart or sour. Not bad at all, but I thought it lacked some zing and zeal.

2004 bottle from Andrew. I got this 2 or so years ago, and it has done great in the cellar for the past few years. Pours out just like the picture to the left looks. No need to describe that. Smell is sour, sweet, full of cherries, some wood smells too. Pretty fruity for a lambic. Taste is sweet, yet sour but not overly sour. An explosion of cherries not typically found in a lambic. Smooth and easy to drink, was very nice on a hot day here in the south. Good stuff!

Bottle 37,5 cl. Large, creamy white, diminishing head. A sparkling, hazy, red/ruby body. Aroma of cherry, wine and cask wood. Medium body, oily texture and lively carbonation. Great long flavor, moderate sweet, heavy acidic, moderate bitter and vinegar. Dry bitter finish.

Bottle provided via Ernest. Pours clear ruby with an average, pink head, somewhat lasting with fair lacing. Aroma is average malt (straw, nutty), light hops (flowers), average yeast (earth, horse blanket) with notes of cherries, wood, and walnuts. Medium bodied, sticky texture, lively carbonation, and a bitter finish. Average duration, light sweetness, acidity, and bitterness.

Bottle from Belgian Belly. Deep Rose (can’t find the acute accent on the effing keyboard) pour with a lasting pinky white head. Drunk this pretty young so it’s full on fruit with a hint of lambic menace. Big cherry nose with a sulphuric edge. Likewise with the taste, all fruit and salty sour with a long, long , dry cherry aftertaste. Top Kriekness but next time I want an older fiercer bottle!

vilolacea schiuma quasi abbondante poco persistente naso piuttosto pulito frutta dolce in bocca morbida piacevole lo zucchero la rende quoasi bilanciata abbastanza dissetante

Cherries and funky aromas, vinegar, tart fruits in the nose smells delightful! Pours reddish with a thin pink head. Very tart, sour, a lot of horseblanket, great cherry flavor in there too! There are hints of raspberry and cranberry in there too. Very good lambic!
