Oh dear, a new world Kriek. That’s, like, the worst thing in the world or perhaps a really good thing in the world. I had tried a number of new world sours lately and most of them sucked serious donkey balls, but kudos to them for trying. And then there was that Flemish sour I tried back in Vancouver in early January.... suddenly, things are happening on this front. It is nice to know, at least, that the brewers popping up all over the new world are studying the old, thinking about what made them great. So I gets me this bouteille from downs in Edmonchuck a week or twos back and given my love of Montreal and Kriek and strong beer it’s one of the first on the chopping block. June 2014 edition for what it’s worth. Cork off, this has good head and a very dark-brown body with no carbonation to be seen. The aroma is near perfect with hints of the barrel they aged it in, the sweet fruit kriek notes and of course the "proper" Belgian yeast that binds it all together. Also coffee, baker’s chocolate, strawberries. Good stuff there. The flavour is a sweet cherry chocolate affair. Really good notes of kriek and fruity sweetness in there, overpowered by barley and new world style coffeee-chocolate notes. Alcohol is invisible. I am impressed and this is indeed a brilliant brew, but I see how it could really be more. A bit more finesse and this could be an honest five. Still I ain’t got no regrets, sunday won’t remember saturday after this and that’s just fine with me.
