Liefmans Cuvée-Brut

Liefmans Cuvée-Brut is a Fruit Beer that is essentially Liefmans Goudenband & Oud Bruin blended with cherries. During podcast 6 we repeatedly refer to this as a Kriek which is actually incorrect. This is not a Lambic but a blended beer with fruit added. Cuvée-Brut is a very simple, strait forward, and delicious. A little bit of sour upfront is followed by sweet real cherry flavor. A little bit more sourness creeps back in at the end. Overall this is pretty sweet so I would suggest aging this awhile if you want to bring out more sourness and cut the fruit flavors. It is also worth noting that this comes wrapped in some pretty red tissue type paper, so the picture below is not quite what you should look for at your local store.
