Description

I don’t know that there is such thing as an American Kriek,” shared The Referend Bier Blendery’s founder James Priest. “The serious practitioners are all blessedly making the best beer they can with the best fresh, local fruit they can, rather than forcing stylistic uniformity.” Perhaps it’s more accurate to refer to American attempts at the style as simply spontaneous cherry beers (as one of our examples does) so they don’t carry the weight and history of the Kriek style, which is specifically Belgian. Framboise is a related, less traditional Belgian beer, fermented with raspberries instead of sour cherries. Kriek is also related to gueuze, which is not a fruit beer but is also based on refermented lambic beer. Some breweries, like Liefmans, make "kriek" beers based on oud bruin beer instead of lambic. True beer experts describe cherry beers as Kloezak Lambics. This category of beer is sure to refresh and delight your senses. The lambic beer in Lindemans Kloek is distinguished by the addition of sour cherries juice, which adds a distinct flavor to the beer. Mort Subite is a lambic beer made with a young lambic, morello cherries, and a three-year-old lambic. Petrus Cherry Chocolate Nitro Quad is a Belgian Quadruple brewed with six different types of malt and infused with the juice of the finest cherries only, with a hint of chocolate in the finished product. A Slaapmutske is an old school brown cherry beer with a distinctive oak aftertaste due to the maturation process, which takes place in oak barrels. The Titanic Cherry Dark is a dark blonde ale with a hint of US and Slovenia hops. Cherry Beer Brands The earliest known fruit used for Kriek is the Schaerbeek Cherry. It is a small and red cherry native to the town of Schaerbeek, in Brussels. It is known as wild cherry: it is not grafted on plum trees or “regular” cherry trees.

Kriek does not need to be a Lambic. You could use other sour beers as a platform for your next recipe. There is much room for creativity. However, if you did do that, it would become a style of Kriek. Kriek vs. Gueuze To reach higher ABV levels, brewers blend a younger Lambic after the aging with fruit. This allows for more alcohol production. Can You Age Kriek?An Alcohol-By-Volume of 3.5 to 7.0 percent dominates the Kriek space. Since cherries do not contain much sugar, they do not add to the alcohol level, rather, they dilute your blend.

Your ratio of cherries should be at least 20% by weight to the volume of Lambic. Specifically, at least 1.6 pounds per gallon (200 grams per liter).

How Do You Pronounce Kriek?

Lindemans Cherry Beer is a Belgian fruit beer that is a deliciously sweet and tart refreshment. The beer has a pale gold color, with a light carbonation and a sweet, tart cherry aroma. The taste is a refreshing blend of tart cherries, along with a hint of sweetness, and a slightly sour finish. This beer pairs wonderfully with a variety of desserts, and is a great accompaniment to a variety of cheeses. Enjoy Lindemans Cherry Beer on a hot summer day or a chilly evening to bring a little bit of Belgian flavor to your glass. Is There Alcohol In Lambic Beer? Prices are dictated by ingredients. If a supermarket asks a brewery to brew a beer to a cheap price point it inevitably means inferior ingredients and cheaper production processes. The beers I sell are more expensive because they cost more to make. The best and freshest ingredients that the breweries can find. L: clear, ruby-colored liquid with a vibrant glow; pink swath of messy foam which settles into a gloriously craggy collar For the most part, Kriek is cherry-rich but dry and crisp with some light acidity. A Kriek aged for longer would have some gentle bitterness from the yeast. Is Kriek Sweet?
