Lindemans Kriek (75cl, 3.5%)

A Belgian cherry lambic beer from Vlezenbeek in Flemish Brabant, brewed with spontaneous fermentation and bottled at 3.5% ABV in a 750ml bottle. It begins with a traditional lambic base of barley malt and raw wheat, spontaneously fermented by wild yeast native to the Senne Valley. Fresh unsweetened cherry filtrate is blended with lambic aged at least one year, then fermented and macerated for up to three days. The nose shows orchard-fresh cherries, almond and a gentle floral quality. The palate is effervescent and fruit-forward, with sour cherry, smooth sweetness and champagne-like mousse. The finish is medium, with lingering cherry tartness and faint yeasty earthiness.
