Kriek du Fermier - with Balaton Cherries
Coolship Blond (late 2013 brew) - with Montmorency Cherries
The Balaton Cherries add unique baking spices, cherry tannins and dried leather to the vibrant acidity, fresh juice and youthfulness of the Montmorency Cherries. Tons of Brettanomyces influence in this blend and earthy hops lends itself more toward a Belgian profile than our highly tart Missouri Wild Ale approach.
Expecting this to age gracefully for years to come.
