Description
The history of the brewery dates back to 1679. At the end of the eighteenth century, Jacobus Liefmans settled in Oudenaarde and gave the brewery its name. It was around 1900 that Liefmans started filling maturation tanks with black cherries, on a small scale. Local farmers brought their excess crops of black cherries to Liefmans and swapped them for beer. One individual who played a key part in this was Rosa Merckx. She was closely involved in the brewery’s operations over several decades. Thanks to her encouragement, the cherry beer evolved into a real success story.

(Bottle) Reddish brown colour with lasting, beige head. Malty, fruity, sourish nose with caramel, black-currant, dark cherries, oak wood, red wine and a touch of balsamic vinegar. Malty, fruity, tart taste with notes of caramel, dark cherries, black-currant, oak wood, balsamic vinegar, red wine, pink grapefruit and a tart finish with a slight sweetness. Almost full body, with a touch of sweetness. Complex and really tasty, with a fresh acidity and wood character. Great beer.

bottiglia 33 cl, schiuma beige fine media persistenza, color ambrato carico / rosso limpido, al naso legno aceto ciliege e leggero funky, in bocca è morbida ciliege mandorle Cherry mirtilli rossi aceto note legnose, carbonazione leggera, corpo rotondo, acidula, molto dolce con amaro percettibile. Molto amabile e facile da bere. Buona ma troppo abboccata e delicata per i miei gusti. c. Birraland.it 07.05.22

Bottle. Nose is ice pops and fruit cordial, strawberry and cherry sweets. Taste is cherry cordial, strawberry ice pop, sight sour tart note, and light malt. Synthetic and too sweet. It's not aimed at me and seems a sensible competition for koppeberg type fruit beer

25cl bottle bright deep red color, clear, big sticky pink head, very pretty. Smell is like bubblegum... Flavor of red fruits, raspberry, strawberry, etc. Taste sugary, sourish. Light maltiness in the finish. Aftertaste of candies. Ok, but i'm not a fan of the style.

Purple hued head left a cover on a reddish brown body. Cherry & biscuit aroma. Medium bodied, nicely carbonated & dry on the back. Cherry, biscuit & white wine tastes with a sour tangy finish. Quite refreshing & cleans the palate.

Big bottle. Prefer this cold rather than warm, which I've had before and thought was a bit weird. A christmasy version of the regular liefmans kriek.
