Brewing a beer style from the Zenne valley in Emelgem? St-Louis Kriek Lambic proves that it is possible! This cherry beer is made on a lambic base and contains the juice of Oblacinska cherries that have been steeped in gueuze for six months. This specific preparation results in a fresh beer with the sweet taste of cherries. This cherry beer tastes mainly sweet with a hint of sourness from the fruit.

Gyorsan eltűnő kevéske hab, gyönyörű rubintpiros szín. Illata mint a préselt meggyléé, egy hangyányi sörös vonással. Fenomenális. Fanyar, savanykás, édeskés meggylé, a háttérben lambicos érzettel, kiegyensúlyozva a komló, és a fahordó keserűjével. Igazi nyári szomjoltó üdítő. Testes sör.

Bottle @ Estaminet de la Longue Croix, Hondeghem, Belgium. Pours vivid reddish pink, small bubbly pinkish white head. Aroma is artificial cherries. Taste continues with a chemical sweetness and no real tartness expected of a lambic. Very light.

25cl bottle. Pours a clear crimson colour with a small slightly pink head. Aroma is very much cherry, although a bit artificial, still nice though, don’t detect much of anything else. Flavour is also strongly of cherry, very sweet like a syrup, a bit of malt, some sourness in the finish. Not too tart. A nice drink.

Imported from my RateBeer account as St. Louis Kriek (by Brouwerij Van Honsebrouck):
Aroma: 5/10, Appearance: 3/5, Taste: 5/10, Palate: 2/5, Overall: 8/20, MyTotalScore: 2.3/5
19/XII/15 - 25cl from ... (I don't know, I was just happy to finally get my hands on it, seems to be rare in Belgium, everywhere it's replaced with the "premium kriek") @ home - BB: I/2016 (2015-1734)
Clear copper red to rusty red brown beer, creamy aery off-white to dirty pinkish beige head, pretty stable, non adhesive. Aroma: very sweet, cherry candy, bit funky, lemony touch. MF: soft carbon, medium to light body. Taste: sweet and sugary start, lots of cherry syrup, sourish touch as well, some real lambik funk underneath all that sweet violence. Aftertaste: lemony, candy, sugary, bit funky.
