ABV: 4.0% IBU: 12 Ticks: 283
For this speciality, we use old and young lambic beer that has aged in our oak casks. When the lambic is 6 months old, we add 25% black cherries. This provokes the second fermentation. We then clarify, filter and bottle it.
The cherries and young lambic create a red beer that is both natural and fresh, with an absolutely unforgettable sweet and sour taste. This is kriek as it should be, with nothing but real cherries and lambic. There is no place for artificial colourings or flavourings.

Bottle from Tesco (2022) and keg from Brauhaus (2025). Clear ruby body with a pale pink head. Low carbonation. Aroma of red apple, strawberry laces and fresh cherries. Flavour of cherry cola, boiled sweets and a sharp, slightly sour finish. Thin to medium body with a slick texture. Light fizz. There’s a nice sweet-and-sour vibe to this. Tangy and delicious.

Color granate oscuro, priva de espuma. Aroma muy natural e intenso a cereza madura, con notas de cuero y establo. En boca el aporte frutal se siente natural y jugoso , poco carbonatada, acidez muy moderada, ligeramente agridulce, muy agradable. Rica

well this was interesting..........
Dark dark red, very thin pink head.
Aroma is of cherries, and vanilla.
Very soft lambic, not much tartness at all, its quite sweet, actually a little too sweet. Not what i was expecting, tastes very much of dark overripe cherries, and not sour at all. Would be very nice on a hot summer day.

Аромат классный, хотя есть нотки химозы, но все таки очень приятный. Спелая вишня пробивается сквозь коровник, но не сильный, сухость сразу, как будто компот. Цвет тоже привлекательный, весьма глубокий, вишневый, но пенка розовая держалась не долго. Все начинается со вкуса все же пива спонтанного брожения, а то бишь, коровника, но не сильного, затем сразу сладкая вишня. Послевкусие сухость, немного травянистости даже, но вишня все равно не первом плане, хотя без косточки. В целом очень приятно.

375ml bottle, my first lambic. Deep purple, small pink head, circular retention. Big sweet cherry fruity aroma, nice and fresh. Taste is lovely fresh cherry juice, modest acidic, marzapan, a dry slight bitter tangy finish. Medium bodied, slight syrup note but refreshing with a nice carbonation. Very tasty.
