This Dornfelder/Kriek is a blend of kriekenlambic and grape lambic, in a 22/78 cut. The fruits macerated for a weighted average of almost six months. We used two-and three-year old lambics for maceration only as there was no backblending involved.
The lambics originate from three different barrels and thirteen different brews. The weighted average age of this blend is a good 20 months. The final fruit proportion is 486 grams of fruit used per litre of finished fruit lambic.

Pours dark purplered, small pinkwhite head. Scent is earthy grapes, mild lambic funk, some wood, tannic. cherry not recognizable. Taste is tart, dry, sharp, acidic, tannic. Earthy grapes take the lead once again, some oak follows. Cherry expresses itself trough the pits (almond-like features). A bit heavy on the grape side to me, not as balanced as hoped. Sharp body, medium high to high carbo. Decent beer, but not a stand-out.

Deep red in the glass. Tart cherry, slight sweetness, some red grape, more dark fruits, light tannins. Medium to full body. Finish is dry with good fruit notes throughout. The play between the tart fruit and subtle sweetness is perfect. An absolutely lovely beer.
