Friek

If you like sour flavors, this beer is for you. However, if you like complexity in your sour beers, you’ll find this beer wanting. It pours a deep coral color that's reminiscent of a rosé wine. Its very spritzy, with a low, fast-fading head. The aroma is sweet cherry at the front followed by a lighter, tart raspberry character, which is acidic and fruit-forward with low oak and funk qualities. The flavor is similar. The sweet/sour character brings up memories of sweet tarts with a light woody note. It has a very light body, and very high carbonation and effervescence that is very dry and prickly on the tongue, similar to a champagne but with an acidic, puckering finish. It’s an enjoyable beer, but is definitely lacking in complexity for a lambic; it comes off more as a sour cherry soda than a beer at times.
