Oud Beersel Oude Kriek

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

Hazy reddish brown with a bubbly small pink head. Sour berry aroma, earthy, bubbly mouthfeel, tart and quite acidic. Finishes somewhat musty.

Pours a bright rosy red into a tumbler. Slight head hugs the rim. Sharp lambic notes -- no sign of the kriek. Sharp lactic sour patch with very slight sour cherry undertone. Lasting lactic finish. Very enjoyable and refreshing.

375ml bottle. Best before 3/12/2023. Pours light pinkish brown with a nice, rocky, light pink head. Mostly lasting, nice lacing. Heavy horse blacket nose with some smoke and cheese. Sour, overriped cherries live just below the surface, some light lactic notes. The flavor is musty, pineapple brett, cheesey, cherries come through well, very clean lactic acidity. The mouthfeel is light and lively, but slightly dirty. Finish is dry and tart with a lingering taste of cherry.

Best before 03 12 2023, phew, just made it in time, 20 01 2005, lol. Poured a nice red rosey pink color with a pretty creamy pink head that laced beautifully. The aroma was light funk and light cherries. The flavor was tart, sour, funky off wheat, some barn and hay, and very light sour cherries. This one isn’t all that fruity and certainly has nothing sweet about it. Mouthfeel was moderate to heavy for the style, a nice hearty carbonated fruit lambic.

On tap at Ortinos Northside. Pours a hazy dark pinkish orange with an average off white bubbly head. Aroma of tart cherry, strawberry, sweet malt, yeast and cherry pie filling in addition to a light sourness. Flavor of tart cherry and raspberry, lightly sour, foral, nice tartness. What a great desert beer. Serve this with a piece of chocolate cake and you are set.

Bottle. Very acidic aroma with a hint of cherries. Almost clear, beautiful red colour. Small pink head. The flavour is quite bitter, but not very acidic. Also has some earthiness and of course cherries. The aftertaste is harshly bitter. Mouthfeel is very swelling.

02-Apr-06 (Draft: O’Brien’s in San Diego, CA) Tart nose shows lots of cherry and woodiness. Cherry and raspberry is strong up front, but fades in the finish into an artificial Aspartame-like flavor. The fruit actually tastes a lot like freshly-picked raspberries. Light-medium body with gentle carbonation. Brick red in color. Off-white head is small and filmish. Not bad, but not living up to expectations. I have a bottle of this at home and will definitely rerate this beer to see if I like it any better

Looks like a nice soft read/pink colour. he head is a soft pink also and rocky. This beer is somewhat cloudy. Strong sour cherry aroma. Light and soft on the palate. Grapefruit like acidic sourness. There is some bitterness to it as well. Mulling it around a bit, it has a kind of fresh hops taste at the end. Leaves the mouth a bit dry afterwards.
