September 5, 2005 - #58 of 365
Brewer: Brouwerij Oud Beersel (Beersel, Belgium)
Beer: Oude Kriek Vieille
Style: Kriek Lambic
abv: 6.5%
Background: Bottle from the store.
Appearance: Pours deep red with a gigantic pink head. Not one for gentlemen to drink in public. Very slow effervescence.
Aroma: I was expecting a blast of cherries, but got a noseful of Gueuze funkiness backed by a raspberry-like tartness and a slight hint of cherry.
Flavor: The Gueuze really shows through in the taste, as well. Very funky and barnyardy, with, again, just a hint of cherry in the back of the mouth.
Notes: Very good. If you want to taste a true fruit Lambic, drop the Lindemans and pick up the Oud Beersel.
Rating: 3.9 out of 5
These pictures will get better; this'll do for now.
