An exotic, enchanting strawberry beer from the number one best fruit beer brewery in the world, Liefmans. This is a sweet, medium-bodied beer, with a lot of fizz. The head is smooth, but dissipates to a ring, through which emanates a bouquet of sour blackberries. A fruity, juicy, zesty texture fits well with the fruity flavour of berries, with a slightly sour finish of dark fruits. The colour of this delicious brew verges of dark red, and its hue is somewhat opaque.
Liefmans Gluhkriek is unique in all the world. It is a beer that you drink warm! The beer is designed in such a way that, if you apply heat to the bottle before opening and drinking, it actually improves the flavours of the beer! Gluhkriek is obviously a kriek beer, and thus has a texture of cherries. There are lots of cherries in the flavour, alongside a small measure of sourness. This sourness continues into the aftertaste, but remains very subdued.
Through the bubbly, quite foamy head emerges an aroma bursting with fruit. Liefmans Gluhkriek is a sweet beer with a moderate amount of body and little carbonation.
