They make many different fruit flavored beers....Im sure the kriek you drank in belgium is different than the bottle you are presently drinking.....
Yes, there are many different flavors of beer, including raspberry; but I'm allergic to raspberries and blackberries and any other berries that look like raspberries so I don't go near those beers.
The flavor of the beer I had abroad and the one at my market are not that different. The alcoholic content may be a bit lower, but that's fine afaic. The taste still has that wonderful intense cherry flavor tempered by the bitterness of the hops. I also have a case of Timmerman Kriek that was shipped to me by one of my husband's business associates from Antwerp, but that doesn't have the same intensity of flavor.
