What began as a birthday gift took on a life of its own. Proprietor David Walker cornered us one day and requested a sour cherry fermented beer for his 50th birthday. A handful was sold at a release and our customers demanded more. Behold Krieky Bones! This beer begins its life as a Flanders Red inspired beer aged over a year in French oak foeders. Sour Montmorency cherries are added and allowed a secondary fermentation. The aroma is of cherry pie complete with flavors of pie crust, spice and an underlying funk. Vienna malt notes give way to an assertive acidity and a bright carbonation. A santé!

Bottled 06/29/17. Nice pop, pours pinkish orange, with a dense white head. Smells tart, vinous, plenty of cherry. Definitely some acidity in the throat, but nicely soft flavours. Cherries, peach, some light tannins. Very nice balance, light and refreshing.
