The Enfant Terriple is put for 6 months on cherries: 250 g sour, un-pitted cherries per litre beer. During this time, the bacteria are given time to digest all sugars even further and to let the soft natural souring have its way. Meanwhile, the cherries slowly donate their blood-red colour and their succulent taste. Part of this cherry also is transferred to the oak wine barrels where it – in a grow-bed of lactobacillus – during a year adds further to a woody souring and softening. The result is a triple-kriek ‘pur sang’. With this, a new saint is added to the Cuvée family of Brewery De Leite. The Cuvée Soeur’Ise, is a wink to cherry in French (= ‘cerise’). The divine saint has already seduced many, all over the world!

Red with a small pink head. Strong cherry aroma with a touch of funk. Dry and tart flavour with sour cherries and a little leather and barnyard funk

Bottle sample @ VBPF ’13. Acajou, col fin beige. Arôme de cerise avec ce côté fleuri frais et un houblon modéré. Palais est de cerise, pointe d’aigreur fruitée qui ressort bien sans pour cela dominer. Le tout conserve un coté léger malt cara pils avec qcq houblons pour l’amertume. Profile de retrait et fin de bouche reste centré sur une blonde belge avec ici un ajout fruité qui donne un côté râpeux. Alcool bien présent sans dominer avec un ajout boise qui donne une brève note boisée épicée qui s’entremêle à la cerise. Une des meilleurs de DeLeite.

14/III/13 - 33cl bottle @ home (Gent) - BB: 13/XI/14 (2013-241) Thanks to Jerre for getting me the bottle!
Cloudy ruby red beer, big fizzy pink to red head, unstable, dissipates immediately, non adhesive. Aroma: very fruity, fresh cherries, cherry jam, some chloride, sourish, lemon, dairy, yoghurt, bit cheesy. MF: ok carbon, medium to light body. Taste: surprisingly bitter start, bit grassy, slightly fruity, sour cherries, but quickly overpowered by bitter metallic flavours. Aftertaste: some citric acidity, slightly fruity, bitter hops, metallic, cherries, some dairy, bitter yeast.

Very good pink head, leaving lace over clear ruby beer. Smoked cherry nose. Not overpowering, but intriguing. Like old cherry skins on alcohol. Nice, dry, if not sour cherryflavour - but neither artificial. MF has a lipsmacking sourishness then, that is refreshing. Quite some (fruit?)slickness, grist; long fruity aftertaste. Very good non-lambic kriek. Misses maybe just a tad sourishness in order to appeal to greatness. Why not try, and recreate the Zottegemse Kriek from Crombé times...?
