Because we immediately filter and pasteurize the beer, this Kriek tastes slightly sweeter and fruitier than the Oude Kriek Cuvée René with its refermentation in the bottle. Thanks to its innovative taste, this cherry became very popular both with us and abroad. Today, this is undoubtedly the cherry consumers consider as a reference. Erikoisuudet ovat harvinaisempia oluttyyppejä tai tyylillisesti vaikeammin yhdistettävissä yleisesti tunnettuihin oluttyyppeihin. Lindemans brews its lambic according to the method of spontaneous fermentation. This lambic is then used as the base for all of the fruit beers. In 25 years, the production grew from 5.000 to 50.000 hectoliters. Over that span, the brewery expanded multiple times. In 1991 a new brewhouse was built next to the old one to increase capacity. In 2013 works for a new expansion, with a new bottling plant, started. Today, the brewery brews 85.000 hectoliters per year. 60.000 hectoliters of this amount is lambic, the base to which fruit juices are added. Each year 6.000 hectoliters of Lindemans Faro are produced, representing 7,5% of the entire production. This is such a sweet punch to the face while having been working on a Beersel oude geuze that the cherry is as if straight out of the maraschino jar. This also pairs with an unpleasant note of baby powder (?)...or maybe that's a little bit of the cinnamon character you sometimes find in krieks. Our meeting with American importer Charles Finkel in the 1970s revolutionised the fruit beer segment. Charles convinced us to export our old kriek to the United States by boat. What we had not thought of is that the movement of the waves would reactivate the fermentation process and cause the corks to pop during the trip. It was like something out of The Adventures of Tintin. To prevent that from happening, we therefore developed an alternative production method for our kriek. We use fresh, not from concentrate, unsweetened cherry juice which we blend with lambic that is at least one year old before fermenting & macerating for up to 3 days and pasteurising the whole batch.So the corks don't pop.

Because of the limited availability of sour cherries from Schaerbeek, the traditional ingredient for Kriek, Lindemans Kriek is made using unsweetened cherry juice which is added to a mixture of lambics of different ages. The resulting beer is described as less sour and more fruity. It contains 2.5% ABV. Another Our Mutual Friend beer! The anniversary release from Denver’s OMF was a riff on the traditional Kriek style. Instead of a spontaneously fermented beer, the base for Chêne Cerise was a mixed-culture sour that was aged in a foeder with whole Balaton cherries. Chêne Cerise captures the savory, aggressive flavors of a classic kriek but balances it out with a soft tartness. A Gallica egy dinamikusan fejlődő sörcsalád.

Lindemans Kriek er en af ??Belgiens mest kendte kirsebærøl og har vundet adskillige priser, blandt andet på World Beer Cup. L: clear, ruby-colored liquid with a vibrant glow; pink swath of messy foam which settles into a gloriously craggy collar We've already told you that our family never does anything the way other people do. Kriek Lindemans is a good example of that. This wasn’t our first time trying this fantastically named beer. I’m not sure if Aardwolf would consider “The Bearer of the Cup” to be in the Kriek category, but this red wine barrel-aged blonde ale received a treatment of cherries and raspberries (raspberries are frequently used in lambic fruiting). The cherry definitely plays a dominant role, though, and seems to fall into the Kriek family tree. A distant cousin perhaps.

A-pour is red from the bottle to a dark red in the glass with a small size pink head , leaving a fine spotty lace ring along the tulip Our meeting with American importer Charles Finkel in the 1970s revolutionised the fruit beer segment.

A Ghost Is Born is actually made from the remains of a beer meant to more closely mimic the Kriek style. After aging a spontaneously fermented golden ale in port barrels with whole Balaton cherries and then bottling that beer, the barrel –and cherries — were topped off with a spontaneous pale wheat ale. That became A Ghost Is Born. “By using ‘spent’ cherries, [A Ghost Is Born] carries through only the secondary and tertiary cherry characteristics and not the primary ones,” Priest shared. The result is still stunning, though markedly different from the other beers we sampled for this piece. A Ghost Is Born didn’t have the savory qualities or density that most Krieks carry, though it still had a wonderful tartness and balanced sweetness that managed to stay refreshing.Another good introductory Kriek, this example from Hof ten Dormaal leans more acidic and rustic. After testing out the waters with Lindemans’ Kriek, I’d recommend seeking out this farmhouse version. The history of Lindemans Brewery began in 1822 when the brewery was founded on a small farm in Vlezenbeek. The brewery's patriarch was Frans Lindemans, the brother of the then- bailiff of Gaasbeek. [2] In 1930, due to the growing success of the brewery, the agricultural activity was stopped definitively to focus on the brewing of Kriek and Gueuze. They produced their first Faro in 1978. Shortly after, in 1980 the brewery started its production of Framboise. Consequently, in 1986 and 1987, Lindemans added Cassis and Pêcheresse to its assortment. Finally, in 2005, Apple was the last beer to be introduced. S: not like cherry pie, more like cherry cough drop, with a vaguely medicinal lozenge overtone... like their other fruit-flavored brands, excellent intensity if a touch blaringly muddy in expression... little sense of funk, even less if any malt/wheat character T: cherry pie filling up front with a blast of tart, tangy acidity in the finish, which continues to tingle in the aftertaste while a subtly sweetish cherry cordial smatters the palate floor... moreish, but nearly too candy-like
