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.

Аромат в основе черешня, а точнее косточка, также есть нотки малины и ежевики, намеки на ягоды красной малины а также сено. Цвет странный и красивый, похож на темно коричневый с розовыми нотками очень глубокий как будто иллюзорно мутный, пенка маленькая но стойкая, кремовая. Вкус хороший, весьма карбонизированный, при этом тело среднее и вообще пиво питкое. Сначала чуть приторные нотки от как будто сока черешни, ощущаеться солод и нотки моченых яблок. При глотке кислинка, больше ягодная, появляться привкусы малины и ежевики. Послевкусие идет вполне долго, стойкая косточка от черешни а также спелый сок. Кислинки почти нет. Очень рад что снова топчик от этой пивоварни.

Bottle. best before april 2033. Color: Clear orangish dark red, pink head. Aroma: Cherry, wood, herbal wood notes, some smoke(?), funky hints. Taste: Dark cherry, cherry kernel notes, blueberry, herbal / spicy wood notes, oak wood, vanilla, vinuous, red wine, subtle Sherry, hints of smoke(?). Rural funk hints. Surprisingly complexity for a Kriek. I had to get used to it, but the further the bottle empties, the more I like this beer.

Barwa jasno miedziana, zamglone, piana w kolorze złamanej bieli, dość obfita, dość trwała.

W aromacie wiśnia i bretty.

W smaku dość wytrawne, dość spora kwaśność, bretty, nuty owocowe, lekkie przyprawy.

Wysycenie w normie, ciało lekkie, dobra pijalność, lekkie taniny na języku.

Piwo jest dobrze zbalansowane i bardzo przyjemne, godne polecenia.

330ml bottle. Murky reddish-brown, pink tinge head, looks great. Lovely sweet and tangy cherry aroma, Taste is the same with berry notes, light acidity which I prefer, has a bitter bite in the finish. Quite smooth with soft carbonation. Excellent

Beer of the month at ABT-cafe Bar le Duc, Den Bosch. Pale amber looking Flemish Sour legend, fruity/sourish tasting, but you must love this great beerstyle.
