Kriek

Kriek is a type of Belgian sour beer made by fermenting lambic with cherries. The fermentation process introduces natural yeast and bacteria from the environment, giving it a tart and complex flavor profile. The cherries contribute sweetness and fruitiness, balancing the sourness. Kriek typically has a vibrant red color, a refreshing acidity, and berry-like notes. It’s enjoyed for its unique blend of fruity, sour, and malty elements, making it a distinctive and flavorful beer choice often paired with rich foods or enjoyed on its own.
