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.

Bottle at Huppel the pub. Pours clear red brown with a small light pink head. Aroma of sweet cherries. Flavour is moderate sweet, artificial cherries, no sourness. Light bodied with moderate carbonation. Pretty much what I expected.

Schon im Glas riecht es total nach süß-künstlicher Kirschbrause - total klebrig. Der Antrunk ist süß-klebrig, der Hauptteil wird nur noch etwas künstlicher. Der Nachgeschmack ist ganz entfernt sauer und wird ziemlich schnell laff, dabei immer noch süß-klebrig.
--> schön süße, ganz leicht erfrischende Kirschlimonade - aber für ein Bier auf voller Linie durchgefallen!
Test vom 11.5.2008, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 12,3,10,2,12,5 - 6,05

25 cl. bottle @ home, gift from my neighbours. ABV is 4% Reddish with a light-pink head. Aroma of sweer cherries. Taste is mostly sweet cherries, almost no lambic sourness but it still isn’t bad. Just a (semi)-decent kriek.

denaldi version of this ( called vieux bruxelles ) wich has a funy little bottleshape . a bit alikle the duvel-kind, but in a smaller size... pours pretty dark red. small , fast fading white head smell is pure cherry, bit sweetened , artificial for sure ! soft carbo . not complex at all. pure cherrys. for my taste just onto that borderline of to much . artificial. its sweet, but it istn pure syrup like lindemans... its doable

Bottle. Pours red with a massive head. Aroma is very sweet and cherry-like, with sugar and succades. Flavour is likewise sweet with a sugary cherry almost reminiscent of artificial sweetened fruit juice. Not actually bad, but far from the usual nice and fresh lambic sourness.

red colour, minimal pinkish head; aroma of cherry; taste of cherry with sourness and some bitter aftertaste, which is not a really organic part of the beer; in fact it’s a bit disturbing; a bit too much carbonation; not the best fruit lambic I’ve ever tasted

Bottled, thanks to Eva who gives me a sample. Dark reddish colour with an off-white head, quickly dissapearing. Aroma is fresh, fruity, cherry notes. Flavor has cherry notes with a chemical sensation. Dry and bittery final.
