This tastes like really good quality medicine (although i think in some way, that's what beer is...). It has that flavour of macerated cherries that was used to disguise the taste of cough medicine when you were a kid.
Lambic beers are not the sort of thing i like to have more than one of at a time. Very rich strong flavour and nothing subtle about it.
So its made with sour cherries which explains the taste. This is straight from Wiki... 'A traditional kriek made from a lambic base beer is sour and dry as well. The cherries are left in for a period of several months, causing a refermentation of the additional sugar. Typically no sugar will be left so there will be a fruit flavour without sweetness'
At the end of the day its not the beer for me but to my surprise my wife loved it and suggested it a good match for a fruit cake... so nice to see her enthusiastic about beer.
