Mystic Witbier met krieken

We order most of our regular shopping thorough online delivery from one of the major supermarkets here, and they often throw in one or two free samples of new products. Last time, they gave us a free bottle of Mystic Witbier met krieken, from Haacht Brewery.

It was worth every penny we paid for it.

Yuck. Ick. Blech. Absurdly sweet. Makes soda pop seem grown up by comparison. A million miles from a properly tart cherry beer, like Cantillon kriek.

I simply cannot understand why this is called a beer, and why anyone would buy it. No wonder they’re giving it away.
