The Ter Dolen brewery is located within the castle, Ter Dolen (The Dool) in Helchteren. The present castle dates back to the 16th century but the history dates further back, with the first entry being in 1282. The brewery was installed in the medieval castle front buildings in 1994. In 2008, Ter Dolen’s Blond, Dark, Tripel and Kriek became the first Limburg beers to be labelled as “Recognised Belgian Abbey Beer”.
Ter Dolen Kriek is an unfiltered and top fermented beer. It is brewed with sour cherry juice, two varieties of hops and one variety of malt and wheat. A sweet, fruit beer finishing with spicy notes, including coriander and orange peel.

Light cherry aroma. The taste is beautiful. Just like cherry cola bottles. A long lingering fruit kick. The finish is sugary, with a burst of cherries. This is definitely the best cherry beer available.
Richard Martin –
Really light colour and fruity aroma – more like a juice than a beer. Lovely taste – sweet yet full bodied. Very easy drinking and just the right level of carbonation.

A real cracker and dangerously delicious! Lovely cherry flavour, perfect balance of sweet and sour and just the right level of fizz. The best kriek I’ve had.

So happy to have found my favourite Kriek available in the UK. We visit family in Belgium every year and try all the Krieks and rate them. Mystic was my no.1 until last time we visited (sadly that was 2019 due to covid) when I discovered Ter Dolen. Smells and tastes divine, the right blend of sweet and sour.

Like most people, I first encountered Kriek while on holiday in Belgium and I really like most of them – apart from this particular one which I found to have a slightly unpleasant aftertaste. It may just have been a bad batch, though…

This beer is light, fizzy with a wonderful taste and slips down very easily. Not as heavy or as sour as some yet a balanced, excellent Kriek which will not disappoint.

This cherry beer is the only one I like and had found it very hard to get hold off. So had to order the full case of 24.
Speedy delivery from beersofeurope
