Darkish red. It’s certainly a sweet one but feels a bit artificial like saccharin. Quite bland.

Purple color with white head. Aroma is sweet dough, phenols, syrupy cherry. Taste is dough, phenolic, apples. Medium carbonation. Sweet finish. Not terrible, but I don’t get Tripel Kriek as a style. De Leite is the only one I’ve liked so far...

Sample @ Zythos’16, courtesy of and shared with the RB Belgian crew. Ocre, col fin rosâtre. Arôme offre un nez de cerise mais qui semble se limiter à un ajout de jus de cerise et est accompagné d’un rétro belge de levure qui ne joue ps en sa faveur. Palais est malté, fruité de cerise et sucrose avec une petite touche surette qui reste trop en retrait. Malheureusement le fruit en lui--même ne vient pas contribuer à un caractère à la bière. Au final, une version maintes fois répétée par d’autres brasseurs. Ajoutons à cela que ça plafonne à 9% et donc boosté par des sucres résiduels et malts.

Trübes rötlich pinkes Bier mit einer mittelgroßen pinken Schaumkrone. Geruch nach roten Früchten, milde Kirschen. Geschmack nach roten Beeren, Kirschen, kaum säuerlich..

Sampled @ ZBF 2016. (Thank you for sharing RB people!) Brewed at De Graal now according to the beer list. Deep cherry juice red with a dark pink head, looking at the colour, I doubt that they used actual fruit here. Nose is soap & artificial cheap cherry. Taste is oddly bitter at first, bitter chemical soap, tastes aboslutley unhealthy & chemical, low candy, fizzy chemical, mainly chemical fizzy bitterness. Pretty rubbish even for a sweetened kriek, a style that has reached absolute perfection a long time with Lindemans Kriek.

23/IV/16 - sample @ Zythos Bierfestival 2016 (Leuven) - BB: n/a (2016-405) Thanks to the BE RB crew for sharing beers today!

Clear deep ruby red beer, creamy pink head, little stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: sweet and fruity, sugary, cherry candy. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: little sourish, cherry flavour, pretty bitter, fruity. Aftertaste: fruity, actually lots of banana and yeast, sweet and sugary finish. Because more cherry flavoured beer, that's what Belgium needs!
