Oud Beersel Oude Kriek

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

Nice dry cherry aroma. Great head that stays around awhile. Cloudy red color. Medium bodied. Taste is dry, tart with cherries. Slight taste of alcohol, with faint malt notes in the finish. Good stuff.

This is like a whole bunch of different cherry varieties mixed into one. A smorghasbord of flavor, spicy, slightly smokey, and off dry, not overly sweet but very fruity, sour and tame. A very nice balance and a great way to round out my tasting of lambics this evening.

Aroma is dry, bitter, with cherries, leather, slightly creamy. clear orange red color with medium sized pure white head. Flavor has bitter cherries, white pepper, spicey, notes of honey, but slightly sweet. Thick mouthfeel. I liked this, but I haven’t tried many krieks to compare this to. I’ll have to re-rate it sometime after I’ve tried a few more.

Best by 2022. A deep red tint with white lacing and lower carbonation. The aroma is sour, cherries, dirt, and complex. A very tart beer with a dominating sour presence compared with the subtle cherry element. Champagne-esque in its lighter mouthfeel, but the tart/sour hit on the front makes it a lively one. Tingly, refreshing. Extremely well made. World class.

Aroma of sour cherry, and wet hay and other barnyard stuff, color is obviously red, flavor is sour, hint of cherry, very effervescent and carbonated, then more sourness, yet not too overpowering, finishes clean and dry. Delicious. Guess i will have to go out and buy a half dozen or so more of these as my local store still has a nice supply. haha

Aroma of cherries, light barnyard funk, musty, wet hay. Purplish ruby color, pink head, good retention. Moderate sourness, flavor is thin and watery, not much cherry flavor, a fresh raspberry tartness comes out as it warms. Ligh body, some astringency. A refreshing and simple lambic. Good transition lambic in between Lindemans and the good stuff.

Gorgeous, rosey, raspberry pink color, smallish, and short-lived layer of foam. Aroma: brilliant and bubbly, highly effervescent and full of tart cherries. mmmm, tart, oooo!, my little mouth shrinks back into itself, then return and greets the cherry flavor with new aplomb! Great, scrumptious texture, just floods the mouth and spills out all over. Fresh, and delicious, medium-bodied with a long, lush finish. this is a wonderful thing, and may be my favorite kriek among the several I’ve sampled!

Hazy dark red with a thick pink head. Rich, funky, vinous fruity cherry aroma. Clean cherry flavour but it’s gets more sour, tart and woody finish. Pleasant acidic finish of black cherries, wood and lemon. Simply wonderful...
