Types of Beer: Bellvue Kriek

"And I would suggest you keep it in the fridge. And, don't drink beer warm and put some ice cubes in it it's really not good, it dilutes the beer and it doesn't really cool it down. So again keep it cold and drink it cold it's refreshing when it's cold and it's really hold outside. Next one on the list is a Belle-Vue Kriek from Belgium. The company is dated back to 1913 and this beer has a flavored beer and has a sour cherry or merlot cherry taste. They use a lambic lager and this is the lager they mixed with the cherry. And, they have a nice way of packaging it with a cork on the top, whoof! As you can see it has a nice cherry color since it was made with a lambic beer, which is a lager, the alcohol content of this beer is 5.1%. You can taste the cherry flavor, it's beautiful. It's great for girls or for woman that doesn't like harsh aftertaste of an ale or a lager and it's really going down smoothly. So, if you like a flavored beer I would really recommend have a sour cherry beer. The beer itself are made from real cherries, they actually use the cherry and the pit inside during the fermentation process. So, it's all natural and it's all good. Personally, I really don't enjoy this beer because of the fruity content, and the same as when I drink wine I prefer something of more fruity taste and I do enjoy drinking something that's all natural. By the way, I mentioned earlier that the Bavarian beer guild has established that the brewing has to be made of all natural ingredients and water. The Bavarian law in 1516 established that the beer can only contain natural ingredients such as water, hops, and barley. They didn't know back then that also yeast would be in beer. But, they made sure that anything else in the beer will not be cold as a beer."
