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.

On tap at Ebenezers, Crewe. Pours a cloudy burgundy with a small pink head. Cherries in the aroma, and again in the mouth (sweet and read). There’s a creamy texture with a hint of marzipan too, and lambic zestiness underneath. Finish is sweet and fruity. This beer is about as mainstream as a lambic gets. Nicely understand and not overpowering.

Draught @ SKAAL Sønderborg. Pours hazy dark ruby with airy pink head. Clear aroma of cherries, with notes of yeast and mild touches of malt. Dry vinous flavour with notes of dust and yeast and mild touches of malt. Cherry and wild yeast in the aftertaste. A decent Kriek.

375ml bottle - Pours a clear dark red colour with a large frothy pink head. A fruity sweet cherry aroma with some lemon and straw. A fruity sweet taste, cherry flavoured sweets, lightly acidic with very little bitterness. It’s a bit too sweet and not enough lambic sour for me.
