Paxton Kriek
Appalachian Brewing Company

Sampled at the Camp Hill location in a pint glass. Very suprised and happy to see a Kriek on tap here. The beer poured a cloudy redish amber color with a slight white head that gave way rather quickly. The nose was excellent. Black cherry, fruity and earthy at the same time. As the aroma is not subtle, the taste is not subtle as well. Your tongue gets hit with a heaping serving of cherries and very tastey at that. There are also other fruit notes running around in the glass that are balanced well. Maybe some grapefruit. The mouthfeel is rather smouth for a tart beer. Very drinkable. So much so that I took a growler home to share.

This was served to me in a 12-ounce wine glass and it had a thick, light- pink head. The nose was heavily laden with cherries, like opening a jar of cherry preserves. The mouthfeel was full and thick with a lovely tartness on the tongue. The color was a slightly hazy brownish-red. The finish was very tart, extremely dry, and entirely refreshing. This would be a great beer on a hot summer's day.

Poured from the growler into a snifter glass.

The color of cranberry juice with a minimal head. Quite transparent. Some small lace coats the glass

The aroma is predominantly sour cherries, with some bitter elements which could be mistaken for a hop scent.

Flavor is sort of a cranberry juice plus sour cherries.

Had this in the upstairs belgian bar at ABC. Served in a pint glass chilled. The bartender warns that it is sour and $5.50 a pint.
The beer is a clear chestnut with ruby highlights. There is minimal beige foam on the surface. The aroma is some sour cherry and bready yeast but also some cloves and a bit of lactic funk too.
The first sip reveals an average body with little carbonation that is gentle and caresses my palate. The texture is smooth and a little water, which only aids the drinkability. not sure of ABV but no hint here.
First sip is sweet fruitiness first and cherry and a bit of general sugar. This rolls quickly to some cloves and spice with a bit of sour tartness on the finish. Some bready yeast as well.
The beer is very drinkable and not overly sour like the bartender warned me. A surprise for ABC, but a nice fit for the Belgian bar upstairs, give it shot for sure.
