Cantillon Kriek 37.5cl

Cantillon Kriek is a traditional Belgian cherry lambic produced by Brasserie Cantillon in Brussels. This beer is crafted by blending lambic aged approximately 20 months with 200 grams of organic sour cherries per liter. The cherries undergo a maceration period of two to three months, allowing their flavors, colors, and aromas to infuse the lambic. Subsequently, the beer is blended with one-year-old lambic to initiate secondary fermentation in the bottle.

The result is a beer with a vibrant ruby-red hue and a delicate pink head. Aromas of tart cherries, earthy funk, and subtle almond notes are prominent. On the palate, it offers a complex interplay of sour cherry flavors, lactic acidity, and a dry finish, characteristic of traditional lambics. The beer's effervescence and acidity make it a refreshing choice, particularly when consumed young to appreciate its fruity profile.
