For the first Blend and release of KdF, we were fortunate enough to be allowed to use the Danish cherries from Frederiksdal. I first tasted the Frederiksdal Cherry Wines at the Mikkeller Copenhagen Beer Celebration in 2015. Their Cherry Wines were unlike anything I had had before and were distinctive in their cherry acidity, flavor and aroma. When we were given the opportunity to use these cherries, I was excited to put them in our favorite base for fruit, Saison du Fermier.
After more than a year from the initial brew day, Kriek du Fermier was bottled and has naturally conditioned in the bottle.

(750ml bottle shared @ Himmeriget, Dec 16/17) Cheers Inbreak! Clear dark rose-coloured pour, with a pale pink head. Notes of tart pale cherries, cherry skin, rosé wine, faint cinnamon, smooth oak, citric tartness, lightly jammy, a touch of dried floral yeastiness, subtle tannin, drying tart cherry aftertaste, delicate and elegant overall. Acidity is on the high side and fruit is more flesh than jam. Fairly light bodied, low effervescent carbonation. I was expecting something more heavily jammy/funky and less subtle on the whole, but this was quite nice if maybe a hair more sour than I'd ideally prefer.
