Kriek·Belgium·6.8% ABV·One of 23 Krieks in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Echte Kriek's tart and sour character. Echte Kriek is a cherry version of the house red-brown ale, macerated with whole Belgian cherries after oak maturation. It pours a deep ruby-red under a pink-tinged head. The nose is intense with fresh sour cherry, marzipan and a whisper of almond, over a background of oak and caramel. The palate is juicy and pleasantly tart, with pronounced cherry, a hint of vanilla and light spice; the finish is dry and gently sour, with a pit-fruit note lingering.
