Cuvée Kriek is a blend of three mixed fermentation beers of different ages, from both foudre and barriques. Honoured to be able to use cherries directly from Friederiksdal in Denmark, the blended beer aged again on those. A homage to the great Krieks of Belgium, with full cherry, subtle almond flavours and a balanced acidity from our unique yeast culture.

Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up. From Burning Sky online. Pours clear, deep red with a fizzy, pink head. Light-medium sweet flavour with rich, tart and fleshy character, modest acidity, a little aged wood, subtle seedy bitterness. Medium bodied with spritzy, massaging carbonation. Quenching finish, lightly drying, more tart and juicy cherry vibes. Delicious.
