Liefmans Kriek Brut
Liefmans Kriek-Brut is a fresh mature blend which matures over a year and a half, allowing the flavors of wood and almond to become more complex and intense. Kriek-Brut is also a treat to the eye, with its deep brown-red hue, and bold but elegant collar. This luxurious beer balances pure accents with the lightly sweet and gently sour nature of cherries.

Bottle 0.33l, vintage 2015. Lightly cloudy, reddish colored. AROMA- sour cherry, sweet, strawberry compot, plums, aged, touch of barrel character. FLAVOR- moderately sweet, just slightly sour, slightly bitter, cherry, strawberry and plum jam. Medium to fuller bodied.
Sweet and tasty.
Nyår 2020. Flaska SB. Kommer inte ihåg mer. Frisk vacker fantastisk. Alla gillar den. Från 2015.
Dark reddish-brownish color and a white head. Tart cherry nose. Less sweet and a cerry, sour, vanilla taste.
Just extra-ordinary. Little bit like a wine. Nice sweet beer, balanced with sour taste. Not so huge head. Decent ++.
Blend de 2016. Couleur brune foncée bien opaque, je ne m'attendais pas du tout à ça... Mousse beige modérée et relativement véloce. Nez vraiment particulier, j'ai du mal à définir... Ça fait très bonbon, ça s'annonce bien sucré. On dirait un Kréma à la cerise. Légères notes de Balsamique avec un complément de boisé, on sent qu'il y a du vieillissement. Même ressenti en bouche, on dirait un bonbon à la cerise et effectivement, c'est sacrément sucré. L'acidité est légère, tout comme la carbo qui est également très fine. On retrouve le côté Balsamique et un peu caramel. Le boisé se perçoit timidement en fin de bouche. Finalement on dirait plutôt une confiture bien intense. C'est intéressant mais c'est très sucré, attention aux diabétiques. Je dirais même plus : bouteille à partager, ça devient écoeurant à la longue...
Bottle (2019). Sour cherry aroma and taste, red wine notes, wooden notes, light to medium sweet and sour, light bitter notes. Medium to full body, sweet and sour dry cherry finish. Ok.
Brut mais fruitée un d’Alice
Aus der 0,75er Flasche (Cuvée Brut 2015) im 2020-05 getrunken. Dieses gut 5 Jahre alte Ale hat eine perfekte Balance der Aromen von Kirsch und der Tannineinfluss der Fassreifung, die feine sehr passende Säure und der kräftige Körper der für ein volles Aroma und langen Abgang sorgt. Diese Ale macht einfach Spaß!
Aroma; cherries, vanilla, soil, syrup. Look; fawn head on silky ruby mahogany body. Taste; cherries, vanilla, caramel, soil, wood oil, nut syrup, n finishes semi dry, sweet n fruity. Feel; nice body n co². Overall; it`s nice. [cleaning garaž solo tasting, wrapped in btl@Norway's Healthy Fluids Chain]
Robe rubis burgonde. Un nez qui évoque une Rouge des Flandres. La bouche dévoile le fruité de la cerise et des notes acidulées plus que d'acidité. L'ensemble est rafraîchissant et d'une redoutable buvabilité bien qu'à titre personnel j'aurais apprécié plus d'acidité et moins de sucre.
Afrutadas y sabrosa
was excited about it due to the fact that i discovered Kriek style for me.
This one is disappointing. The cherry taste and the sweetness are too overwhelming no other taste was possible to reckon. tasted like effervescent powder
Color marrón oscuro rojizo con espuma fina beige de poca retención y residuo nulo. Aroma a vino picado, cereza ácida, madera y malta tostada con notas a caramelo, frutos rojos y uva. Sabor a frutos rojos, cereza, naranja ácida y malta tostada con notas a caramelo de frutas, madera y vino blanco o sidra. Dulzor frutal/maltoso medio, amargor nulo y acidez frutal medio-alta con regusto medio. Textura acuosa, cuerpo medio-ligero y carbonatación alta. Una mezcla de Kriek con Oud Bruin de sensación chispeante y acidez intensa pero equilibrada. Más acética en nariz que en boca, donde destaca la fruta con unos toques de madera y malta. Interesante.
Da ordine cantina della birra fine '19
Too much cherry. Solid backbone that tastes like a good Flanders Brown, but super sweet cherry on top of that, with a hint of cough syrup. A good beer ruined by trying to be too much.
0,33 bottle. A hab már kitöltéskor is gyenge, de még vastag. Vörös szín, hab is vöröses-fehér. Erőteljes cseresznye-meggy illat keverék, sörös jegyek háttérben. A gyümölcs - illat viszont nagyon finom. Ízre valóban savanyú, szénsavas. Gyümölcsös, cseresznyés-meggyes íz, nekem sajnos maga a sör-jelleg nem jön át. Itthon sokkal jobb sör-alapon vannak gyümölcsös sörök, bár azok nem ilyen erősek, és nem sour kategóriák. Egyébként nem rossz, íze, fűszeressége rendben, a minőségi alapanyagok, és technológia érződnek.

The foam is weak even when filled, but still thick. Red color, foam is reddish-white. Vigorous cherry-cherry aroma blend with beer tickets background. The fruit scent, on the other hand, is very delicate. The taste is really sour, carbonated. Fruity, cherry-cherry flavor, unfortunately for me the beer character itself doesn’t come through. At home, there are fruity beers on a much better beer basis, although they are not as strong and are not sour categories. Otherwise not bad, taste, spiciness okay, quality ingredients, and technology are felt.
Kirsebær, med en anelse syrlighed/bitterhed. Kompleks i Aroma/smag
Come base ci siamo ma il sapore della ciliegia è troppo invadente e l'acidità non è abbastanza per contrastarla. La berrei con un dolceb non troppo grasso, sicuramente non la prenderei di nuovo
Barwa brązowo-czerwona, mętne. Piana obfita, dosyć trwała.
Aromat czarnej wiśni, pestek, do tego lekka dzikość.
W smaku świetnie zrównoważone pomiędzy wytrawnością i słodyczą. Intensywnie wiśniowe, jest trochę stajni, pestkowa cierpkość.
Ciało średnie, wysycenie średnio-wysokie.
Świetny kriek.
This is not a Kriek. A Flanders Brown with a little Cherry flavour. Wouldn't say it's a great Flanders Brown either.
Na 15 jaar opgelegd vanavond opgedronken.
Speciale fruit “toetsen” maakten dit tot een speciale ervaring
Hmmm this is the kind of thing that not sure the common audience without a deep understanding of beer would even call beer, but it's delicious! Pours murky red, a thin layer of pink-ish head and sticky lacing. Aroma is very strong cherry. Tastes sweet, tart, a yeasty touch, thin wood and an explosion of cherry. Light bodied and well carbonated. Lush.

Mikołaj Rutkowski is drinking a Kriek Brut (2019) by Brouwerij Liefmans at Otomat
One of the best (if not the best) 'kriek'beers in the world! Ok, there are better... but only brewed in a very small amount and almost not available if you don't know the brewer. But this is how a real 'kriek'beer should taste: sour and NOT sweet! Opening a big bottle is always a feast with friends: and always a nice surprise for those who never tasted a real 'kriek': tasty, refreshing and bringing a smile on the faces. For me the perfect beer to enjoy on a sunny evening sitting on a terras in the shade.
กลิ่นเชอร์รี่ไม่แรงมาก มีความเป็น Brut จางๆไม่ชอบกลิ่นเชอร์รี่แต่ผ่าน
330ml bottle.
Pours deep murky ruby with a sparse beige-pink head. Aromas of sour cherries, malt and oak and vanilla. Acidic cherry and fruit flavours married with candy floss and malt.
Low end of the carbonation scale, probably a wise choice to keep carbonic acid levels in check. Balanced mouthfeel with no creaminess detected.
Finishes tart and quite dry.
This is the beer that turned me on to sour beers, after struggling to find a liking in the trend for at least 10 years. It has become the beer I buy most frequently, even if it isn't the best example of the style.
A bit sour, sweet and intense for cherry taste. Not for a daytime beer under the sunlight, but great for a warm evening.
