Lindemans Kriek Beer 37.5 cl (Case of 6)

Product Information

If you think you know what beer tastes like, try Lindemans Kriek and prepare to have your world turned upside down. I've had a sour beer or two before, but none were anywhere near as drinkable and delicious as what I'm sipping on as I write this.” 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. This is the starter Kriek. You might consider the Oude Kriek Cuvée René that I had at The Sovereign as the grown-up version of this beer. This is a sweeter version of the style, using cherry filtrate and a pasteurizing process. If you want an easy introduction to Kriek, this is a good one.

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. 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.

Even more important to Krieks than color, though, is authenticity in flavor. “The style hinges on the quality of the fruit,” Priest contends. “The quality of the underlying beer is important and needs to be complementary, but if it’s even a bit boring that can be a perfectly serviceable canvas for exemplary fruit. I reject any beer hoping to approximate the character with syrups or flavorings or extracts. You can’t fake cherry character… you need real cherries.” 8 of the Best Cherry Beers Kriek

Erikoisuudet ovat harvinaisempia oluttyyppejä tai tyylillisesti vaikeammin yhdistettävissä yleisesti tunnettuihin oluttyyppeihin. 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. F: silky; punchy with its funky tartness... every nook of the palate feels coated with a thin, gummy film... the carbonation seems a bit weak, and over its course, the body gradually becomes more viscous, rounded, and syrupy, but short of laborious a b Muylaert, Jan (18 April 2007). "Geuzebrouwer lonkt naar China: Lindemans investeert fors in opslagcapaciteit". Het Nieuwsblad . Retrieved 4 February 2010.L: clear, ruby-colored liquid with a vibrant glow; pink swath of messy foam which settles into a gloriously craggy collar Joe Connolly of Springdale sees Kriek Mythology as a “bridge between the old world and the new.” The base beer is split into bourbon barrels and aged on whole cherries. “After marrying the barrels together, we dose this beer with cherry juice and ferment out a bit further,” Connolly shared. “The result of this — and bottle conditioning — means that we create a beer ideal for cellaring.” Our bottle of Mythology had been in our collection for several months and has taken on a rich, tart cherry characteristic with maybe even a subtle dark chocolate note. 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. What makes this traditional kriek special is that it is brewed with whole cherries. Since real Schaerbeek cherries are scarce, Lindemans Brewery has found their perfect equivalence elsewhere in Europe. The brewery, to this day, is still a family company, run by brothers Nestor and Rene for a long time, [3] before their sons, Dirk and Geert, took over the business, each having a 50% interest in the company.

Kriek, eller kirsebærøl, er lavet ved at tilføje kirsebær, kirsebærsaft eller en kombination af både til lambic øl, den typiske øl i byen Bruxelles og regionen til sydvest. Lindemans Kriek er en af ??Belgiens mest kendte kirsebærøl og har vundet adskillige priser, blandt andet på World Beer Cup.A meeting with American importer Charles Finkel in the 1970s revolutionised the fruit beer segment.

The Referend’s founder James Priest doesn’t consider this beer to be a Kriek. 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.
