Oud Beersel Oude Kriek

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

Cork came out a little too easy but it appears fine. Apricot color with a cream beige head. Aroma is funky and fruity. Spritzy tart and wonderful.

The bottle got a little excited when I opened it, pouring out a small bit while I lunged for my glass. The pour however is a nice orange with a strong red tint and a nice white head with a reddish tint. Aroma is a rubberish lambic smell, slightly offputting. It really picks up on the flavor, nice and sour, but theres still a rubbery flavor there.

Wow, this is some interesting lambic. It pours a slightly golden red with a pink head. Lots of bubbles. Very frothy. The aroma is very nutty and very sour. Hints of cherry. The flavor is tart, not the slightest semblance of anything sweet. Possible hints of ground cherry pits, and some delicious sour cherry. feels quite sour and dry, like chewing on a grapefruit seed. I really like this style of lambic. I think I’m spoiled. Lindeman’s is going to be too sweet now.

08.16.05 500ml bottle dated best by 06.10.2024 (!). Dark cranberry pour with lively, even, and lasting pink head. As pink beers go, this is easily the prettiest one I’ve seen. Aroma is solid lambic funk and barnyard with some dust and a hint of sulfur. I don’t know what kind of cherries y’all are eating, those of you who are smelling cherry in this beer? All I smell is lambic. Flavor actually presents a nice sour cherry profile and isn’t overly dry like some kriek lambics can be. Wet wood and some suede. Medium feel but plenty effy. Short dry finish on the palate, but long on lingering cherry and horseblanket. Tasty cherry tartness flits in and out all over the palate, too. Super tasty and very drinkable, juicy even.

deep red with a pink head. aroma is tart cherry. tart cherry flavor compliments the sour nicely, nice apple in the finish. cherry really comes out as it warms. bites the back of the tongue. a nice brew

Cork came out as soon as the top was undone. Dark cloudy pink color with a crazy big foamy head. Not much lacing as the foam just slid down the glass. Fruity aromas and flavors too. I had expected this to be sweeter. Flavors were very vinous. Very dry finish. Not bad, as I am still trying to figure out what a good lamic should tast like.

Bottle. Smells just like the Beersel Geuze. Has the same taste as that beer but with a crisp tartness. Very nice.

as soon as the cork is undone, this starts gushing from the bottle! color is dark raspberry, so cloudy that it’s opaque! head is foamy and pinkish white, clingy lacing. aroma is tart cherries, light sour barnyard. very carbonated, light mouthfeel, tart/sour cherry flavor, but less cherry flavor thatn in the nose. lost of funky wild yeast flavor to add "carahhkter". not too dry, not too acidic, a well balanced kriek. wow lots of carbonation. a little bit bitter in the finish, who would have guessed!
