Oud Beersel Oude Kriek

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

From bottle : Pours a very dark color with some red highlights, and a half finger of foamy light red head.....i love red heads. Big time tart cherries domanate the nose. Taste is sour and tart right from the start, big time. With cherries poking in and out of the taste. Medium body, and tart as all get out. Aftertaste is enjoyable and again...tart.

Bottle served at room temperature. Funky cherries hit the nose, with a unique feel of burnt hay and other funky smells. Purplish red pour, lots of carbonation with a bright pinkish head. Sour, funky, well-treated cherries dominate the flavor. Tart as hell. Crisp, warm, enjoyable.

Pours a nice rose color with a pinkish head. Yeasty, earthy sour fruit aroma. Very tangy and tart, far more sour than any other lambic I’ve had. Only mildly sweet. very dry finish. Not bad.

deep purple/rose color under a small, fizzy, pink head. the most sour of the oud beersel’s i’ve tried, but still moderately sour. cherry flavor. sour cherry aroma.

Wow....bottle best by 2025! The pour is a lightly cloudy, deep ruby color with a large, foamy pink head. Random, snake like lacing spreads out horizontally on the glass. This is really a nice looking brew, the only downfall being poor head retention and lackluster lacing. The aroma is powerfull, showing intensely sour cherries over funky barnyard lambic yeast. The flavor follows suit, with mouth puckering cherries and even some fresh lemon scorching the tongue with citric acid. Lightly sweet, yet amply funky yeasty flavors add an interesting element. Medium bodied and dry, with a long, tingling finish. Not overly complex, but incredibly well crafted. Awesome brew.

delicious. loaded with tart cherry flavor, a little funk, and a nice dry finish. looked as pretty as a lindemans in the flute glass i was drinking it from, but so much better. exactly what i was hoping for from this beer.

Poured a deep ruby red color with a small white head with what looked like cherry chunks. Funky aroma with loads of tart cherries. Flavors are very tart cherries, huge barnyard funk, and a dry oaky finish. Everything about this beer was incredible. Side note: compared 2 vintages each from different brewers. Rated older version.

Bottle received as a bonus in homebrew swap - Thanks! Rich magenta, wisp of a white head. Nose is very tart cherries, oak and funk, lemons. Reminds me of the weekend of spontaneous fermentation. Flavor is lemon, cherries, oak, lots of acid, various fruits. Puckeringly dry.
