This elegant fruit beer is a beautiful combination of tart cherry juice, unmalted wheat and our proprietary Belgian yeast strain. The result is a mouthwatering burst of sweet fruit balanced with an equal tartness ending with a crisp and effervescent wave of bubbles.
HOPS

COLOR
Soft cherry hues reminiscent of rose petals

A magnificent sour/acidic aroma blended with a brightness of Krieken cherries and hints of citrus
TASTE
An elegant richness from the bursting juiciness to the bubbly dry finish. Medium to high tart, puckering quality without being sharply astringent.

Light to medium with high carbonation

Very nice to encounter this one here, as the brewery was founded by Pierre Celis, the creator of the Witbier Hoegaarden. All in all a worthy nod to the Belgian-style Kriek, although it's evidently not a real flavoured Lambic and indeed, like the brewery itself mentions, more of a genuine Fruit Beer.
