Description
Echt Kriekenbier from Brouwerij Verhaeghe is the traditional
Flemish cherry ale. This refreshing ale is based on Vichtenaar
and has the aroma of Kirsch cherry brandy, smooth, vanilla-like
oaky palate and late surge of passion-fruit flavors with
some acidity. Local sour cherries are added during the maturation
process to the wooden casks containing Vichtenaar. The final
product is a blend of 1, 2 and 3 years old beers.

Comments
BBC » Tart and
sweet like a cherry and a fairly reasonable alcohol percentage,
what a delight. But I wouldn't count on polishing off the
6-pack in one sitting.
