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 at tasting. Deep cherry colour. No head. Aroma strong strong cherry. Taste is mostly cherry flavoured and sweet, with only light tanninish tartness. Lacks some complexity, all cherry. Good one though.

Bottle at home. Has a clear red color with small light pink head. Sweet aroma of sweet cherries, earth and candy. Sweet is also the flavor with more candy, strawberries and sweet cherries. Has a slick and sticky mouth feel, and no bitterness. A pretty sweet kriek with lots of berries.
