The 2017 edition of Transatlantique Kriek is here. 50% authentic Kriek Lambic and a 50% foeder-aged golden sour.
Transatlantique Kriek begins its life in oaken vessels of Gert Christiaens’ Oud Beersel, a 130-year-old lambic brewery in the Zenne valley of Belgium – home of authentic Lambic beer. After time spent aging in wood, Oud Beersel’s lambic is blended with tart Polish cherries and shipped across the Atlantic to New Belgium. In concert with Oud Beersel’s cherry lambic, or Kriek, we blend an equal portion of golden sour ale matured for 1 – 3 years in our oak vessels called foeders. 50% Sour Golden Ale blended with 50% Traditional Cherry Lambic Ale leads to an intense cherry nose, a sour flash across the palate and a refreshing, mouthwatering finish.

Clear bright ruby red beer, practically no head. Aroma: funky, lots of cherries, acidic, some almonds. MF: soft carbon, medium to light body. Taste: super fruity, lots of cherries, bit sugary, nice stuff! Aftertaste: some tannins, sour cherries, some nice acidity, very fruity. Nice stuff!

Thanks to Finn for sharing a big bottle of this one. Pink coloured head laving spotty lacing behind. Clear dark red body. Modest cherry skins on the nose. Tart cherries to the taste profile, hints of bread. Sweet and tart finish. Decent cleanser. (Tromsø 24.02.2018).
