Description
De brouwerij Den Toetëlèr – dialect voor vlierstruik – werd opgestart door Luc Festjens, Kurt Meers, Stefaan Huybrechts en Erwin Duts in 2010. Vanaf januari 2011 was de brouwerij operationeel. Oud hout van de vlierstruik is hol en werd vroeger gebruikt om fluitjes of toeters mee te maken, waardoor de struik in de volksmond de naam “toetëlèr” meekreeg. Het is nooit de bedoeling geweest om het bier in opdracht elders te laten brouwen: dit nieuwe Limburgs bier moest in Limburg gebrouwen worden. Om dit standpunt kracht bij te zetten, werd bewust gekozen voor de dialectische naam van de vlierstruik.

Bottle at home, first of all why do i always buy this crap ? probably because i hope this beer will taste good, how wrong could I have been, aroma was strange, taste was even weirder, no speculaas in my opinion, but it was better than cookie beer. I could even finish the bottle !

Bottle sample @ ZBF’13 shared with the RB Belgian crew. Served way too cold. Couleur acajou, col mousseux crémeux rosâtre. Arôme est ici de cerise avec ce côté peau et pépin suivi d’une léger houblonné. Pointe d’aigreur fruité perceptible sans pour cela dominer. Palais est aussi très fruité sans tomber dans le faussement sucré. Le tout est trop effervescent qui gâche un peu le plaisir de la cerise. Je note aussi ce côté fruité presque fleuri de cerisiers suivi d’une fine aigreur fruité.

Pink-purple head, dark mauve beer. Curry herbs, bread, ureum... and very little fruit in the nose. Cherries arrive in the flavour, (real) cherries-laden icecream, as something serve in an exclusive Milanese icecream parlour. Rich... Very carbonated, fruitslickness. Unfortunately served a little too cold to observe all flavours optimally. Nice. I wonder about the nose - might have been the glass, rather than the beer by default.

33 cl. bottle sampled @ ZBF 2013. Dark reddish with a thick, beautiful dark pink head. Nose is like sweet kriek fi that is a real thing, sweet fruit, berries, dark cherries and very light tartness, cheaper jam,… Taste is still moderately sweet cherries & maybe hint of kriek as well, fizzy carb spoils the taste a bit for me, sweet jam, smallest hint of tart, cheap jam, small dash of grenadine, not getting much sourness in here, red berries. Okay, could have been way worse. A real kriek for me is still a lambic.

Imported from my RateBeer account as Toetëlèr Echte Kriek (by Brouwerij Den Toetëlèr):
Aroma: 7/10, Appearance: 4/5, Taste: 7/10, Palate: 3/5, Overall: 12/20, MyTotalScore: 3.3/5

27/IV/13 - 33cl bottle @ Zythos Bierfestival (2013-395) Thanks to the Belgian ratebeer crew for sharing our beers today!

Clear deep red beer, creamy pink head, little stable, non adhesive. Aroma: bit sweet, chloride, red berries, cherry jam. Mf: lots of carbon, medium to light body. Taste: sour start, chloride, red berries, little sweet, fruity. Aftertaste: pretty sour, cherries, some chloride, bitter. Pretty decent for a kriek, it has enough acidity, but misses the complexity of kriek based on lambic.
