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 home. It pours deep red, with a thin white head. The nose is vert sweet, artificial cherry, marzipan and syrup. The taste is sweet syrupy cherry, cherry tunes, white sugar, marzipan, lime and a touch of tanginess. Medium body and fine carbonation. Wow this is very sweet indeed. Definately not what I look for in a kriek...

250ml bottle, 4.0% abv, many thanks to Finn. Dissipating pink head over a clear, brown-red body. Smell of dry almond and cherry. Sweet and tart cherries in flavour with almond dryness behind. Dry in the mouth. Quite refreshing on a sunny day up north (Tromsø, 16.06.2012).

bottle@outside: labelled as “Vieux Bruxelles Kriek Lambic”, lemonade sweet, syrup, artificial sweetener comes across very clearly in the taste & depends even more in the aftertaste, there is an odd sweet tartness to it, artificial cherries, marzipan, not bad for a soda but overall the artificial sweetness & flavours are fascinatingly dominating
