Oud Beersel Oude Kriek

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

Cloudy red pour - lively, effervescent pour - nose of cherry (skins, pits, flesh, stems, you name it), warming spices, leathery funk, light saltiness - dry, earthy, medium-tart, with just the tiniest bit of acetic character - a bit of red wine vinegar - gentle funkiness through the middle - some earthy cherry flesh and skins compliment a slight sweetness through the middle - ends bone dry, with light tannic flavor and vinegar - a very nice kriek.

bottle, pours hazy red with redish white medium head, funky aroma of olives with deep cherries, wet leaves, gentle tart flavors with some lemon and notes of cherry, very crisp but not that powerful, medium body. OK

Bottle 37,5 cl. Pours showes a high carbonation. The body is cloudy deep redwine-colour with a pinky head. The nose is blasting cherrys away and leaves some acid-notes. The taste is likewise with a nice vinegar and bitterness feeling. The finish is buttery and bitter topped with cherry sweetness.

Deep red coloured beer with almost no head. Acidic and cherries in the aroma.Sour flavour, lacks carboniation and body, maybe because it’s a bit old. Expired in 2007 but still a nice beer. (Corked bottle 75cl)

smells like cherries, pours magenta with a bubbly carbonated pink head that dissapears quick. tastes very sour with cherries galore. makes my mouth water. pretty good lambic.

750 ml bottle. An unclear deep red beer with a large, frothy, mostly diminishing pink head. The aroma is nice, though not extremely powerful, with a good yeastiness, light maltiness and notes of cherry and wood. The flavour is moderately sweet, moderately to heavily acidic, lightly bitter. Quite fruity and funky. Medium body, lively carbonation. quite long finish with light to medium bitterness. Fruity and balanced, a good fruit lambic

Quite tart, maybe to a fault. But still fairly decent with good cherry presence and a balancing sweetness.

Impressive starting head, dies to thin layer of foam. Leaves no lace. The color is orange-red and properly cloudy Cherry sweet and lambic sour. The sweet wins this one, coming across like a pie. A lot like hard candy. Remarkably tart. Where’s the sweetness? Reminds me of unripe raspberries. There’s a complete absence of sweetness. It also is missing the yeast bite that I’ve come to expect. Great body with an elevated amount of carbonation. This might be a good match to cheese or a sweet dessert.
