This is a surprisingly good Kriekbier. It has loads of sour cherry flavor and aroma without being too tart. Very Yummy!

This is actually a Kriekbier. I am sending in a correction email. Properly acidic smell, a bit oaky. Smells watery before I reach the cherry undercurrent...hmmm. Red-brown (mostly red) with minimal head. Soft carbonation, firm body. Cinnamon. Toast. Buttery-soft finish with a bitter, somewhat metallic note that leads to a sticky sweet cherry-rolled-in-flour flavor coating the back of my throat. The aftertaste is the best part of this beer, but as a domestic Kriek I have to say it's pretty passable. It definitely shoots for the fruity rather than the sour end of the spectrum.
