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.

Bottle at The Funky 7, Brooklyn. Pours hazy, red-brown with a moderate, off-white head. Aroma holds plenty of tart cherries, some grassy hops, light funk. Medium sweet flavor, some malts, lots of cherries, some hints of raspberries, brett, wood. Medium bodied with average carbonation and a stinging tartness. Tart, sweet finish, more cherries, light funk, light dryness, some acidity. Very good American sour beer.

Bottle. Hazy bright amber color, large fluffy white head. Nice aroma of sour peaches, apricot, and of course cherries and raspberries. Taste is softly sour summer fruits, grapefruit, citrus. Very nice indeed.

Bottle thanks to Scott! Pours a hazy deep ruby red with a gray head that dissipates quickly and completely. Aroma is full of sweet cherries with a bit of acidity backing and a bit of funk as well as a bit of oak. Flavor has a good amount of cherries that are mainly sweet with a bit of tartness and backed by oak and a hint of funk.

Bottle. An unclear, brownish beer with a small, off-white head. More or less a rim of bubbles actually. Vinegarish aroma with berries. Lacks a bit on complexity. The flavor is much the same, although more berry sour than vinegarish. Dry, almost palate cleansing and maybe a bit hard on the carbonation. Overall, a decent one, but not impressive. 110820
