Floris Kriek

Tap to rate

A deep red, slightly cloudy fruit beer built on wheat beer, with a compact pink head. The aroma comes from wild sour cherries and cherry stones. Soft, sweet and fruity, with a touch of nuts from the stones and a sourish aftertaste from the cherries, and a balance between wheat beer and fruit. Just 3.6% ABV.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Floris Kriek

◎ Appearance

Deep red hue with a slight haze characteristic of the wheat beer base. A compact pink head forms and settles into fine lacing that clings to the glass walls. The body holds a gentle, effervescent carbonation that sustains the visual presence throughout the pour.

◌ Aroma

Wild sour cherry and cherry stone dominate the nose, offering both bright fruit and subtle herbal-woody notes from the pit. Beneath the stone fruit lies a soft wheat character that frames rather than competes with the fruit expression. The overall aromatic profile sits in balance between fermented grain and tart stone fruit.

◐ Taste

The palate opens soft and sweet, with cherry fruit taking the primary position while wheat beer provides a gentle, slightly grainy foundation. Mid-palate reveals nutty tones drawn from the cherry stones, adding depth and texture. The finish leans toward the sour side, with a tangy cherry character that cuts through the residual sweetness and leaves a clean, slightly dry aftertaste.

◑ Finish

The sourness of wild cherry extends into a medium-length finish that feels crisp and refreshing. The aftertaste remains dry with lingering fruit notes and a touch of grain, inviting another sip.
