Friek is an evolution, an imaginative amalgamation invented by our brewers. Multiple kriek Lambic style ales are fermented with wild yeast and tart cherries and then moved into oak barrels to age and sour taking on the cherry flavors. As the beer matures, framboises (raspberries) from Schroyer Family Farms in Fort Collins are handpicked and readied for the beer. The fresh raspberries are added immediately prior to the final blending. The sweet and tart flavors mingle on the tongue with a sparkling dry finish.

Rating #1900! Bottle from a trade with cbkschubert and shared at Maltzillas tasting. Pours cloudy amber color with thin tan head. Aromas of sour cherries, raspberries and some oak. Similar flavors. Medium body with lively carbonation. Another really nice brew from Odell. Thanks Craig!

Bottle shared by badnewsbeers. Murky, pulpy strawberry red-orange body, thin ring of off-white carbonation. Cobwebby, dusty nose with berries, dust, and fruit; modest tartness. Somewhat watery body that lacks cutting sharpness, characterized by cobwebs, dust, oak, and berryskin. Would benefit from a little more kick.

At SAVOR. Beer poured a ruby red color with a small white head. Aromas were fruity, tart, oh so tart. Cherries, oak, vanilla, tartness. This smelled great. Flavor was extremely tart. It was a solid, well made brew that I enjoyed so much smelling, enjoying... savoring. Alcohol content was not too high, enjoyable to consume.

bottle thanks to Dcschiller, pours a dark purple with orange hues, thin white head with large bubbles. Aroma is tart cherry, red berry fruits, wood and barnyard wild funky yeast. Flavor is tart cherry skin, slight vinegar and vinous notes. Strong lingering berry in the finish with tart funk. Very well done.

Tap at Odell - sits somewhere in between a sour ale and a really tart fruit beer - light raspberry color - nose is lambic-ish, with a fair amount of acetic character, light phenols, strong raspberry character, damp wood - the kriek aspect really comes through in the flavor - strong tart cherry and some spices - fruit skin earthiness - moderate acidity - a bit of brine quality through the middle - a bit of funky barnyard stuff happening on the tail end - not getting strong oak, but it is there - dry finish - quite good, really.
