- Beer: Liefmans Kriek Brut 6%
- Brewery: Brouwerij Liefmans, Oudenaarde, Belgium
- Style: Kriek

Liefmans Kriek-Brut is a fresh mature blend which matures over a year and a half, allowing the flavors of wood and almond to become more complex and intense. Kriek-Brut is also a treat to the eye, with its deep brown-red hue, and bold but elegant collar. This luxurious beer balances pure accents with the lightly sweet and gently sour nature of cherries.

FLAVOR
A luxurious beer with fresh notes and a pronounced cherry nature.
STYLE
Dark-red Belgian fruit beer, aged on real cherries.

The beer is given a year and a half to mature. As such, the timeless tart-sweet flavor has a chance to reach its best.

This luxurious beer represents the perfect marriage between the fresh accents and slightly tart-sweet flavor of cherries. Liefmans Kriek-Brut is a mixed fermentation beer, and every hectoliter contains up to 13 kilograms of fruit.

Liefmans Kriek-Brut has a deep reddish-brown color and a refined collar, with notes of wood and almond. You can clearly taste the lightly sweet and gently sour nature of the fruit. A classy beer, that's immediately clear.

Beer Description: Liefmans Kriek Brut is a cherry beer, made in a unique way. Firstly it starts off as an old brown beer that is macerated with fresh whole cherries. After it has matured for a year, it is then blended with various ages of Oud Bruin and Goudenband beer. It was the first brewery to wrap their beers by hand in tissue-paper. This beer received gold for the Speciality Fruit Beer at the Brewing Industry International Awards 2000 as well as winning the World’s Best Kriek Beer at the World Beer Awards 2009. In 2015, it was awarded a Gold Medal at the World Beer Awards for the category of “Belgium’s Best Kriek / Framboise”.

Engage the taste buds. Take three sips before passing any snap judgments:
The first cleanses the palate
The second starts to break it in
The third gives you the full flavour experience.
