Crianza belongs to the family of Flemish Red-Brown ales. Born out of a mixed fermentation, she spent more than a year in oak barrels.
Her body has copper reflections, and her aspect is limpid. Her foam is beige and creamy, with a nice hold. She smells like Northern cherries, with a woody and winey accent, and a slightly animal touch given by the Brettanomyces yeast. In the mouth, these flavors are completed by stewed apples, notes of Agen plums, blackberries, spices (cinnamon, cloves, licorice), and a very lightly caramelized touch of malt and biscuit. Her slightly sour character makes her surprisingly refreshing.
She is at 7,4% ABV (hardly perceptible).

From tap at Van Moll Fest 2022. Fruity aroma with malty notes, berries, some red fruits. Tart, medium sour. Some puckering sourness in the finish, light vinegar. Medium body.

Brunröd vätska. Jästig källartrappa blandas med ekig arom. Smak av ännu mer källartrapp, ekfat och antydan av röda bär.

Crianza, ein Barrel-aged Flemish ale von 7,2 % aus der Brasserie de la Senne, Fläschchen (abgefüllt 2022, haltbar bis 2026) - thanks, Jef! - Dunkelrotgold, klar; wenig Schaum. - In der Nase scharfe, Balsamico-ähnliche Säure über Resten von toastigem Malz und braunem Zucker, Zitronensaft, Leder, ein Hauch von Holzleim: ein stark aber doch nicht unkontrolliert gealtertes Bier. - Im Antrunk ringen knackig scharfe Essigsäure, feines Toastmalz mit einer Spur von Rosinen, Eichenholz und ein Hauch von Moder um die Deutungshoheit - ein faszinierender Clash. Milder rezent, vollmundig, trocken. Im Abgang legt sich das Chaos ein wenig und macht einer milden Bittere von altem Hopfen mit erdigen und zart modrigen Zügen Platz. - Was zunächst arg heftig erscheint, überzeugt doch als gezielte, charaktervolle Vermählung gegensätzlicher Aromen, wie natürlich gewachsen und nicht erzwungen. Hochinteressant! (9.11.2024.)

Sampled on draught as Crianza 2022 Barrel aged Small yellowish head, stable; cloudy red-brown beer. Lactic acid, hint of acetic, brown candi sugar, wet oak, red fruit. Lactic acid, creamy if dry chocolatemousse on fruit-impregnated wood. Deer skin. Pretty slick for an Oud Bruin, oily. Some acidthinning and -burn all the same; good carbonation. Quite good, convincing.

Couleur cuivre, col fin crémeux café au lait.
Arôme sur un bouquet balsamqiue, funk, souffré, rétro presque sur un côté céréales, fruits noirs - cerises, mûres.
Palais présente une belle note 'sour' allant rapidement vers un côté vieille brune avec un léger résidu de douceur en fin de bouche. Tanique avec une pointe balsamique, caramel, fruits noirs - baies cassis et mûres, petite note céréale rappelant une biscotte. Léger picotement en fin de bouche dna sla gorge.

Correcte mais pas mon meilleur souvenir de la Crianza.

Roodbruin bier met weinig achuim. Smaak is fris fruitig en licht zuur met iets van druiven, wat grapefruit en kersen.

33cl Fles van De Bierkoning. Kon geen serienummer (IV) zien op het label, maar dit moet hem zijn. Roodbruine kleur, beige kraag. Licht funky, zurig, balsamico, licht vineus, zure kersen, licht moutig, wat gebrande bruine suiker, hout, bittere en lichtzure finish. Lichte body. Degelijk, smakelijk.
