Available only to members of De Garde's Keepers society, this version of The Kriek is a wild ale aged in Oak barrels with Tart Cherries.
Our spontaneously fermented golden wild ale, blended from multiple years of barrel fermented and matured stock, refermented on regionally grown Montmorency and Morello cherries. The nuance of the blend matches up elegantly in this fruit forward beer, with the Montmorency cherries providing their typical spice notes and the Morello cherries offering bold color and flavor. This particular blend incorporates a greater amount of Morello than normal for us, providing a more intense color and depth of fruit character. Crisp carbonation, an earthy funk and delicate oak balance the anticipated vibrant fruit character.
