Description
The history of the brewery dates back to 1679. At the end of the eighteenth century, Jacobus Liefmans settled in Oudenaarde and gave the brewery its name. It was around 1900 that Liefmans started filling maturation tanks with black cherries, on a small scale. Local farmers brought their excess crops of black cherries to Liefmans and swapped them for beer. One individual who played a key part in this was Rosa Merckx. She was closely involved in the brewery’s operations over several decades. Thanks to her encouragement, the cherry beer evolved into a real success story.

Manchmal findet man neues Bier an Orte, wo man es nicht erwartet. Dieses gab es bei der Dorfpizzeria in der Wachau, wo ich meine Eltern besuchte. Es ist sehr süß und beerig, weshalb man den Hinweis, dass man es on the rocks trinken sollte durchaus ernst nehmen kann. Ein nettes spritziges Sommergetränk, das aber mit klassischen Bier nichts zu tun hat. Dennoch kann ich es mir an einem heißen Sommertag sehr gut vorstellen.

Bottle, blended 2020. Brown with hints of red, small pinkish head. Nose of tart sour cherries, promising, like pie with lattice top crust cooling on the window. Fine carbonation for a great mouthfeel, nice balance of fruit flavor and moderate sweetness. Doesn't taste super artificial and overdone like many krieks do, though a little bit. Not super complex but very enjoyable.

Poured from the tap. Clear-ish red with minimal white head. Portland Craft legit served it on the rocks (wtf?!)… anyway, cherry, mild strawberry. Fine by todays fruit beer standards.
