An obvious fruity crossover with its distinctive cherry soda spritz, ancillary citric brightness and sparkling champagne fizz.

Blending Frank Boon’s imported oak-aged Belgian cherries with raspy American hops, this enticing pinkish amber lambic-fermented creation rivals finest dessert beer from New Glarus. Tart medicinal cherry frontage given muted quince-grape seduction and ester-y grapefruit tang anticipated dry-spiced stone-fruited finish maintains.

Fantastic Kriek-like red ale retains perfect sweet ‘n’ sour cherry pie essence. Exquisite red-black cherry juiciness informs secondary sharp-tongued green apple tartness and strawberry-papaya-kiwi-melon tropicalia topping syrupy candi-sugared malting usurped by soda-like hop spritz. Though peculiar to behold translucent garnet-hued pink-headed ale pouring from green bottle, stylistically it’s second only to New Glarus Raspberry Tart and Lindeman’s Framboise.

Luscious sour red cherry theme rises above heavy candi-sugared malting. Mouth-puckering maraschino cherry tartness blends bruised cherry, tannic cherry, and black cherry illusions. Overripe orange tang and cranberry juice souring secure fruited edifice.

Raspy copper penny-hued, pinkish-headed ‘kriek’ opens dry, tart, and bitter, compromising mellow stone-fruited splendor with phenol coarseness until tannic cherry souring and vinous white grape esters show appreciation. Fizzy champagne tingle seeps into woody oaken astringency of slow sipping cherry-pied aperitif.

More palatable than Belle-Vue Gueuze Lambic as its obligatory tart cherry essence gets softly spice-hopped for suitable citric-soured tang. Berry overtones enhance summer ale flow.

Swell pinkish-ruby West Flemish ‘red-brown ale’ matured in oak cask acquires delectable sour cherry tartness that sweetens by dry wood finish. Tannic grape mellowing allows vinous nature to surface as fizzy champagne flow re-enforces juicy black cherry sentiment.

Impossibly dry pinkish-headed golden-red lambic with persistent eye-squinting sourness, uncommon dry-smoked lemon tartness, and stinging limestone acidity hiding unripe white grape influence as tempestuous vinegar vulgarity and bitterest lemon lull overtake distant cherry tang.
