Selins Grove The Phoenix Kriek

Hand bottle from hellbilly’s howdown. Some cherry and sour plumb aroma. Murky red body with no head. Some sluge droped in the glass from bottom of bottle on pour. Decent fruity and sour flavor. Most notable was the sweet juicy sour plum which was good. Got a yeasty bread shot on the finish. Special thanks go out here to Paul, Josh and the Superdave family for the special delivery.

Growler shared with hellbilly courtesy of psprings -- you guys rock! Pours a burnt shade of amber in color with mild carbonation and a fleeting beige head. Smells amazing. I want this in an oxygen tank. Perfect tart cherry pie filling flavor -- crust and all -- with a spicy touch of cinnamon. Warm and comforting. Easily the best Kriek I’ve had, thus far.

pours a reddish purple with a white head. aroma is fresh dark cherries sugars. taste is uber realistic ripe dark cherry pie filling. fantastic. thanks josh and paul.

growler - thanks to adrian910ss for the trade!! mildly leaking had me worried, but this stood up very well in the summer heat; clearish, dark red with thin bubbles along the edge; lovely, cherry pie aromas with mild tartness; very, very nice; texture is soft; creamy, cherry tartness and just lovely all around; perfect level of fruit w/o turning into a fruit syrup bomb; wow, great stuff!!

Growler. Nice reddish brown color. Aroma and flavor are both more sweet than I expected. More cherry sweetness than sour. A lovely drink overall but could be more sour for me. A little bit on the syrup side but not bad.

BCTC. Many thanks to the incredible generosity of the RB crowd. Reddish with ring. Mild sour cherry aroma. Sweet refreshing cherry soda with oily palate. Ok. Probably need to try this again.

[2402-20090801] Growler. Odd vegetal olive oil aroma has some cherry. Hazy, dark red body with a quick foamy white head. Cherry pie filling flavour has a sweet long aftertaste. Medium body. Lovely cherry, wow.

Draft at Selin’s. Opaque ruby with a small pink head. Generally sweet nose mainly of lightly tart cherry, also some spice with ginger, light cream, and brown sugar. Heavy cherry in the flavor, faintly tart, some pit and very juicy. Silky body but excellent carbonation, molds well with the minor tart notes to give the beer a sparkling feel. Very sweet, but insanely drinkable.
