In order to obtain a beer like no other, we have been adding whole sour cherries to our lambic for generations.
Our meeting with American importer Charles Finkel in the 1970s revolutionised the fruit beer segment. Charles convinced us to export our old kriek to the United States by boat. What we had not thought of is that the movement of the waves would reactivate the fermentation process and cause the corks to pop during the trip. It was like something out of The Adventures of Tintin. To prevent that from happening, we therefore developed an alternative production method for our kriek. We use fresh, not from concentrate, unsweetened cherry filtrate which we blend with lambic that is at least one year old before fermenting & macerating for up to 3 days and pasteurising the whole batch. So the corks don't pop.

Cut with the Hefe, it's really brilliant. Otherwise, not so much. Number 2,000.

Barwa rubinowa, klarowne, piana różowa, umiarkowanie obfita. W aromacie dużo wiśni, słodyczy, nieco nut kwaśnych. W smaku słodkie i kwaśne jednocześnie, przez co jest bardzo pijalne, dużo wiśni, kwasku owocowego, nieco nut siana, ale bardzo niewiele, dominacja wiśni jest spora, na szczęście jest też spora kwaśność. Wysycenie średniowysokie, bardzo dobrze, ciało średnie. Nieco za słodkie, ale jednak przyjemne piwo.

I know, shocking right? How have I never ticked this? Keg at Hopcat Madison. Clear red, large creamy tan head, good retention. Aroma of Ludens cough drops and spice. Mildly tart. Taste is still sweet jammy cherries, mild spice, mild tartness. Meh.

F: thin, pink, quick gone. C: dark red, clear. A: a lot of cherries, hint of grenadine, lemon. T: cherries, light lemon, hint of woody, bit funky, taste is better than the artificial aroma, light to medium body, medium carbonation, not bad but still quite sweet, 25cl bottle from Delhaize Chazal @ Schaerbeek in Brussels.
