Brewer: Liefmans (Oudenaarde, Belgium)
Beer: Kriekbier
Style: Flemish Sour Ale
abv: 5%
Paper-wrapped bottle from the store.
Pours red-amber with a large white head with a light pink tint. Very pronounced sour cherry aroma. Lightly acidic and vinegary. Strong tart cherry flavor with little else. That vinegar is lurking in the background, but not to the point of unpleasantness. The full, oily mouthfeel is the strongest point, adding some substance that the simple flavor lacked. Sweet enough to be an alternative to Lindeman's, but tart and acidic enough to be a good alternative.
Rating: 3.7 out of 5
