Friek is an evolution, an imaginative amalgamation invented by our brewers. Multiple kriek Lambic style ales are fermented with wild yeast and tart cherries and then moved into oak barrels to age and sour taking on the cherry flavors. As the beer matures, framboises (raspberries) from Schroyer Family Farms in Fort Collins are handpicked and readied for the beer. The fresh raspberries are added immediately prior to the final blending. The sweet and tart flavors mingle on the tongue with a sparkling dry finish.

Fantastic wild lambic hybrid thing. I don’t love razz but it’s just the perfect amount blended with Kriek.

From 0,75l bottle at Sanders place. Amber hazy color, small white head. Smells earthy, berry notes, bit lactic, grassy, light honey. Nice smell. Full body, soft carbonation. Tastes of berry notes, marzipan earthy, light sweetness, grassy. Finishes lightly dry and lightly sour with notes of citrus, grassy and berry notes. Nice one

From a 12 oz. bottle. Pours a clear pale reddish mahogany with a quickly disappearing off white head. Aroma is of rasppberries, cherries and dank wood. Flavors are sour red fruitswith a lingering tart finish.
