A beer with cherries, can that even taste good? But something!
The Kriek from Lindemans is really a very special brewing specialty from Belgium: It is neither bottom nor top fermented but is fermented spontaneously. Wild yeasts and lactic acid bacteria from the air ensure fermentation in the open vats. This technique is typical of Belgium and is rarely practiced in other countries. Another unique selling point is the second fermentation with fruit. The Kriek is blended with fresh cherry juice in the second fermentation cycle. The fruit not only provides a stunning taste, but also the extremely tempting, cherry-red color of the fruit beer.
Lindemans Kriek is a must-try cherry bomb!
The Belgian special beer flows into the glass in a magnificent ruby red and shimmers in all facets of cherry red. A fine foam the color of blushing cherry blossoms crowns the beer and at the same time exudes a siren-like scent of freshly harvested, deep red cherries. The overwhelming scent of fresh cherry is accompanied by a fine, floral aroma that is reminiscent of cherry blossoms on a warm spring afternoon. The taste does not disappoint after the olfactory first impression: cherry explosion at its finest.
With its fresh, fruity effervescence, Lindemans Kriek is a taste experience that you won’t want to forget in a hurry.
